Morning a quick card today
and short post;
I finally got the opportunity at last to play with my GC and new die cuts at the
weekend . It’s the first time I’ve attempted this style of card and not sure if
I like it or not but will enjoy the challenge of trying some more. I tried to
keep the design simple and not add too any embellishments which was difficult
for me to do but overall I’m quite happy. I love the the intricate dies and didn't want to detract from them .I love the butterfly embossing which was a
free folder with a magazine which I had to emboss twice to get the correct size
was more difficult than I thought to line it up properly ! which means it has a
join hence the ribbon being in a slightly strange position ideally I would have
had the centre panel higher also, but the glue had already set once I realised
this, Off to get ready for work but hopefully will get some more crafty time later in the week. Hope you have a great
week ahead, thanks for visiting its much appreciated; hugs Andrea X.

I think you've made a beautiful CAS card. That frame die is such a beautiful one and your choice of black has such a great, dramatic effect. Thanks for the lovely comment you left on my blog - I'm returning your visit from MIM:)

This card is very elegant with the subtle colour scheme and pretty die cuts. The ribbon looks great where it is and actually follows the rule of thirds beautifully. Thanks for joining our Literally Anything Goes challenge at Eclectic Ellapu. I hope we see you again soon.
