This card is for today's IC Challenge and Monday's CAS - Flourishes Challenge.
Today's IC website is Rooms by Zoya B and is full of exquisite children and adult home furnishings and accessories. I went straight to the accessories tab and found immediate inspiration in this beautiful gemed tieback - link here: {Jeweled Holdback}
This week's CAS challenge was to use flourishes in your design - and for that I used the flourishes embossing folder which I love!
This card took very little time - it was nearly complete when I got stuck!! I stared and stared... Took the dogs for a walk, had a cup of coffee, and stared some more - fighting the urge to destroy the beautiful white space in the corners LOL!!
Finally I decided to add only a perfect row of larger gold pearls along the left side as a border. I need to practice at CAS cards - hope you all like this one.
Enjoy your Saturday!!
Audrey

AudreyAnn~ I fav'd this card earlier, knowing I needed the 'words'. All I can say is that your work blows me away! I love white cards, but your sponged corners made this card sing! Your blooms are delish, and those silver beads, delightful! Oh what a card! Thanks so much for sharing!
