Right so this week it's a sketch - a lot less challenging than last week (I did manage a VERY quick card for that). I've been visiting my daughter and 'soon to be son in law' in Leicester and Libbie and I went into the city for a bit of wedding shopping and of course who can resist a bit of craft shopping at the same time - certainly not me. I picked up these borders in (would you believe it?) Poundland and when we got home saw the challenge and thought ........perfect!
Base card is black (already embossed) dotty card, a 5inch square card with the border slightly offset from the centre. 3 scallopped nestie shapes with white daisies on them and 3 tiny pearls for the centres. A white rub on for the sentiment finished it off.
I'm hoping to get the chance to make another later this week before I go off on my holidays to France.

Very elegant. I love black and white together.
You can't go wrong with b&w, especially for a CAS card. The ribbon is stunning. I'm intrigued, I'm going to look up "Poundland"?
Your vertical take on the sketch was clever and eye-catching. So nice.
