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:
I love the colours on this gorgeous card Liz.

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
