Now I look at it, I think I should have used textured instead of plain bright white card as although I know the idea with CAS is lots of white space there's too much uninteresting white space for my liking. It didn't turn out quite the way I thought it would in my head - so it may or may not find it's way into the stash box!
The trellis design embossing folder used behind the die cut circle is an old and much used one.
I watercoloured the die cuts and popped a tiny green pearl into the centre of the largest flowers. And as there were just 3 left on the sheet I used them up!
The challenge at Less is More this week is 'Friends' and I have a feeling that I may have another go if I have time....

Hmm . . . you are being VERY harsh on yourself Viv. For what it's worth, I think this card is absolutely lovely and if you'd used a textured card base it would perhaps have detracted from the focal circle and the dimensional sentiment. The fact that the card base is plain really brings out the embossed nature of the card behind the circle and shows off the flowers more. I would be happy to receive it! *wink*
I think it's lovely and love the watercoloured leaves and the background within the circle just pops out of the plain card base! And than you for your kind comments and taking the time to follow me x
I think this is very pretty, I love the design. Hope you are feeling better...........these bugs sure drag you down.
So pretty & I love how the flowers come out of the textured window. Thanks SO much for joining in on the Uniko Studio Challenge. Hugs Bev x
Very pretty and delicate Viv

I wouldn't describe this white space as uninteresting, it's this white space that gives this card an elegant CAS feel. But I know the feeling and know what you mean, but in this case you're too hard on yourself:)
Oh dear,do hope you are soon better,keep snuggly.Well,I for one loves this card,so refreshing and pretty.Huggles xx
This is a really pretty CAS card Viv and I love the cut out circle with the pretty pink flowers and embossed trellis background, and so prettily finished with the pearls. Sorry you have been feeling under the weather but hope you are soon feeling better. x
