Happy Tuesday peeps......My Mojo seems to have done a disappearing act and i really did need to get myself motivated so I decided to start with a CAS card!
The first challenge of 2012 over on LESS IS MORE is Predominately Purple....boy are Chrissie and Mandy challenging us this week lol.
I have used my fabulous Darice embossing folder from Crafters Companion
These folder give an amazing emboss and fab value for money too in my opinion.
I have punched a white border using Fiskars border punch and embossed lines using my Ulitimate Pro
I added pearls over the holes of the punched border for a different look....I quite like it. I am trying to use up stash.......as now I have to cut back due to storage issues until my youngest flies the nest anyway lol.
I am also entering this into Let's Craft and Create
this is my first time entering this challenge and I intend to make it a regular of mine in the future weeks ahead.
their theme this fortnight is butterflies.

That really is a fabulous embossing folder, you know I love CAS so obviously I love this! I do hope you share the invites when they're done, I could do with some inspiration :) x p.s. I had a huge clearout a couple of years ago & got rid of 90% of stash, I'm not suggesting you go as extreme lol but I haven't looked back since!
so incredibly stylish! Just LOVE it!!! Hugs Juls
Just beautiful Ali :)Hope you are keeping well>

Beautiful CAS card Ali, the embossing looks great off the edge of the card and fab way to use the pearls too :)

Love your use of the pearls & the fact you introduced the soft peachy pink & how they pick up on the embossed dots of the pattern in the main purple panel.

Fabulous card, great design.
Wow, I love what you did here and those pearls really add fabulous contrast!
Its amazing but the simple cards that are unfussy are so amazing in their own rights..
Love it
Beautifully elegant card Ali, I do love the embossing folder - another one for my wish list. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Let's Craft and Create. :)x
Fabby card Mrs W. Even if there are butterflies on it. At least they aren't pink ;)
