Allsorts Challenge #858


 The theme for the next Allsorts Challenge is **Sympathy/Thinking of You** and has been chosen by Gail.  There is the usual *Anything Goes* option as well of course.  The prize is from Highlight Crafts and full details can be seen on the Allsorts blog post.

For my card this time I decided to use My Craft Studio and I looked through images on some of my quite old CDs to select a suitable background design.  Can't remember now which CD collection this one came from - sorry. My intention was to produce a digital stencilled effect and this involved using the 'digital punch' function within the programme. (there are lots of punch designs to choose from).  Luckily I spotted a tutorial on You Tube to remind me of how this was done because it's quite a while since I'd used the programme for anything other than printing and/or resizing digital images. Once printed I cut the panel using a stained glass die and backed it with a toning square of card.  A white die cut flower was added for extra interest.
