CAS-ual Fridays #45 - pastels and black

Hello!

CAS-ual Fridays challenge #45 this week is to use pastels and black. I have to say, I don't think I've ever made a card using pastels and black, and yet all the DT cards were so gorgeous, I had to give it a go myself.

This is my card:

This card was claimed as soon as it was made. It's a hit here at home! That always makes me happy.

The stamps are PTI Think Big Favorites #12 and Tag-Its #10. I used PTI white card, SU! black, almost amethyst (retired), pretty in pink, barely banana (retired).

This card looks very simple, but for me it meant a little bit of maths to figure out just how wide those three stripes had to be, and how much border needed to go around the panel. I adhered the pastel stripes onto a piece of card, and then trimmed the edges to make sure they were all neat. THEN I stuck the whole panel down on the black panel. The black panel is up on foam to give it some depth.

Thank-you to everyone who left me lovely get-well wishes this past week. I had a shocker of a time with that headache and all the rest, and all of your good wishes went a long way to making me feel much better.

Thanks for stopping by!
