I am finishing a very lovely four day week-end. Today I drove up to the Sunshine Coast to celebrate my nephew's 2nd birthday. It was a lovely celebration, and great to spend some time with family. The hard part was driving up and back in the one day. I'm a little weary now. That didn't stop me from making a card tonight quickly before bedtime. ;-)
This card is made using the sketch over at Retro Sketches Challenge #82. I did use the sketch, but instead of creating an actual split in the card, I made a virtual/implied one that may or may not be visible to you, depending on how abstract your thinking is, LOL! I made a 5 1/2 inch square card. An unusual size for me, but I quite like it! I sat staring at this card for a long time, wondering what to add, and in the end, I couldn't bring myself to add anything because I like it as it is - stark CAS. :-)

Nope....don't add a thing! It's beautiful!
So beautiful - colours I never use, but they look gorgeous together.
So pretty, Michelle! Those neutrals are gorgeous!
I'm loving the neutrals too, so peaceful and very pretty.
This is just beautiful. I can absolutely see how you used the sketch, which is now making me proud of my 'artistic and interpretive eye'!! Lovely in the neutral colors.
This is a beautiful card - I love the colour choice.

You just can't go wrong with this image - fabulous use of colors with it today!!
Michelle, the neutral colours are fantastic. Don't you love how you can never go wrong with Pretty Peonies? Stunning in the earth tones!!
Wow Michelle...I love this! It's so elegant....just gorgeous!
Michelle...this is sooooo pretty! I love those flowers and it looks amazing in kraft and black.
Using brown for that flower is such a neat look
This card is so classy and beautiful!!! Love the soft tones and composition!
I wouldn't call it stark - more like clean, crisp and classy! I love it! So how long was your drive today?
so elegant and beautiful! simply breathtaking!
You're right! This card doesn't need a thing. I love the color combination you used. I probably wouldn't think of it, and it's such a perfect fall card. Thanks for your kind comment on my blog!
Such an elegant card. Well done!
