CAS-ual Fridays, Just Us Girls, Less is More

Happy Monday all, I have a CAS card today for a few challenges. I recently got my hands on some  new Avery Elle stamps, Fanfare, I just love the Art Deco feel to the border pattern.

When I saw this weeks Just Us Girls sketch, I just had to break open the pack!


I have a few Thank You cards to create, and this is a quick design, and took about 10 minutes - it took longer to decide which colour to go with! I decided on the Aqua blue, my favourite! Over at Less is More, the challenge is to create a CAS design using Black & White plus a hint of one colour, and CAS-ual Fridays would like a CAS design for a Thank You card.


I stamped the fan border in Tuxedo Black, cut to size, and placed on an aqua mat.


I then stamped the sentiment from Stampin' Up! in aqua ink, and added 3 black gems for a little understated sparkle.


This is one of the quickest cards I have ever made!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline
