Hello!
Whew! I've had a busy week-end this week-end. I have managed to squeeze one more card out of my limited time. I really didn't want to miss the opportunity to enter these three challenges. Too often I miss out because I run out of time, despite feeling inspired!
This is my card.
I used SU! Basic Black and Crumb Cake card. Ink is Real Red and Certainly Celery. Stamps are PTI - Happy Hexagons (sentiment) and Flower Fusion #11. Twine is Twinery Maraschino (the twine is where I get the white for the colour challenge!). Embossing Folder is Swiss Dots. And dies are PTI - Flower Fusion and Mat Stack #3.
It is really difficult (for me) to photograph black cards! The card in real life actually looks black, and that red is really Real Red, I promise!
I am entering CAS-ual Fridays #62 which asks for a black card base.
My colour combination comes from ColourQ #146 which is too yummy to resist!
And last, but not least, I am entering CASology #2. I missed the inaugural challenge because I ran out of time. I didn't want to miss the second one. My card is a HAPPY birthday card. :-)
Okay, perhaps I'll sneak one more card out of the week-end if I can get the kiddies into bed early enough tonight!
Thanks for dropping by!

Super sweet card! Love the "soft" feel you achieved even with the black card base! Thanks for playing along with us this week at CAS-ual Fridays!
So so pretty!!
A triple treat of perfection!!
I LOVE how you made such a pretty, soft card on that black base! Swiss dots is my favorite of my cuttlebug folders; it really worked on this card and the fun twine added the perfect touch!
Love this card, very pretty :)
Cute card, Michelle, love the embossed black background and the pop of color with the twine! Thanks for joining us at the ColourQ this week and sharing your card.

Love the window shape with the tulip shape, they really work well together. The Swiss dots look great on the black too!
I agree with you, photographing a black card is hard for me too. I just get the right colours out of it.
Your card is awesome. Love the window and beautiful tulip. Great CAS card, Michelle! Thanks so much for playing with us @ CAS-ual Fridays :)
Such a pretty card, Michelle! Love the twine accent! Thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays! :)
Hi Michelle! Great use of dies in this lovely. And I know what you mean about black cards being tricky to photograph! Thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays this week :)
