Black, White and Red

A second card for the Less is More sketch challenge.  This is one of those cards that turned out nothing like what I had in mind, apart from following the sketch.  I was going to use the embossed panels to make a White on White card, but somehow my card evolved into a black, red and white card. 
I used a Creative Expressions 'Ocean Waves Pinpoint' embossing folder for the triangular panels and added rows of red Nuvo Crystal Drops. When they were dry, I added a sentiment die cut with a Sue Wilson 'Stitched Flags' die.  The red mat was cut by hand to leave a small border.

I am joining in the following challenges:
1. Less is More Challenge #387 ~ Sketch 25
2. AAA Cards CAS Game #132 ~ Up To One Third 
3. Simon Says Wednesday Challenge ~ CAS
4. Simply Created Too Challenge #145 ~ Anything Goes / No Twist

    So dramatic with the black, white and red colour scheme! Your card reminds me of an evening gown or tuxedo jacket. Thanks so much for playing at AAA Cards, hope to see you in our gallery again soon.

    I love the black, white and pop of red. I thought it was a doily at first and I love the design.

    I often start one way and end another, and this is beautiful and very striking with the black, red and white, and the red Nuvo drops look great along the edges Liz. x

    You know Liz, I actually thought the nuvo drops were pom poms! I like black, red and white as a colour combo. Love the card design! Shabneez x

    The white embossed panels really pop from the black base card! This is always such a fresh and stylish color combo so no wonder you decided to use it! Very decorative card, yet CAS -great work! Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!
