The theme for the first challenge is black, white and pink. I decided to fill a large white space with a focal point sentiment in black, surrounded by some randomly stamped pink flowers. I actually found this really tough and had quite a few goes before I was satisfied, but I hope I got there in the end. I had a lookee at the creations already linked to this cahllenge and there were some really brilliant and original ones, which made me unsure whether this is really and truly a CAS card ... but it's my best attempt for week one lol!
Recipe:
Main image: Stampendous "Agapanthus" stamped a couple of times using Brilliance pearlescent pink ink;
Sentiment: Penny Black "...dreams..."(2711F);
Supplies: pearls from The Hobby House;
Tools: Martha Stewart small monarch butterfly punch.
I would also like to enter this card for

Hope you're having a great weekend, whatever you're doing.

Hi Pauline
I sometime think that the CAS cards are more difficult to create than the "more is more ... and even more is even better" type!! (you made me smile with this little comment).
Love how you have made the sentiment your main focal point and just put the flowers into the background.
Gorgeous finished look.
Thank you for sharing with Penny Black at Allsorts again this month.
Love Jules xx
It's great to see you back at Penny Black at Allsorts with another lovely card Pauline.
You have made a great job with the "less is more" theme. Your card is so fresh and clean looking and the Butterfly and pearls finish it off beautifully.
Thank you for sharing your lovely work and we look forward to seeing you for our next challenge.
Shirley
a beautiful card!! :)
Gorgeous card, love it.
