Congratulations

Hi and welcome!  Today's card was made with the repetition theme at Less is More in mind.  I also went with the "No Patterned Paper" theme at Cardz for Galz (easy for me!) and the gorgeous inspiration pic at Time Out, where I was drawn to the neutral tones with pops of black and color.  I love that inspiration photo so much that I might be back with a second card at some stage :)


I die-cut the Bed of Roses cover plate by Essentials by Ellen from white cardstock and adhered it to a Soft Stone card base.  From there I adhered a white-embossed banner and placed some lilac enamel dots.


Thanks for visiting.

Absolutely gorgeous card, so stylish and classy. Beautiful die! Just for future reference, we do need a bit of empty space on a card to meet the Less is More guidelines. Thanks for joining in though, and hope to see you at LIM again soon :)

Great to see you at TO again Karren. I just love photo challenges and how we all pick out different things. You have made such an elegant card, I love the cover plate, I don't own any!! And the black strip reminds me of the photo frames. And thank you for your lovely comment about our photo

This is a great design and although simple we do rather like entries to our challenges to contain a little white space... just for future reference!
I love those flowers with the bold sentiment panel!
Thanks so much

Another really gorgeous CAS card, Karren! I love that you chose Soft Stone behind this pretty cover plate, and your B&W sentiment is perfection! I'm putting this die cut on my wishlist :)

Just love this Karren and hope you do come back for seconds!!! That floral background die is stunning and love how you kept it in neutral tones, really makes that black sentiment pop. Thanks so much for coming to play with us at TIME OUT and hope you do come back for more!!

This card is absolutely gorgeous Karren. The neutral tones and the font on the sentiment are elegant, and lavender was the perfect choice of color for the finishing touch of the names dots. Thank you for linking up and playing along with us at Time Out! ~ Stephanie L, GD.
