An accidental card ...The Card Concept

Hi there everyone! I'm excited because there's another card challenge on the block! It's called
The Card Concept and it looks really fun and well, challenging!

Whilst I was racking my brain, trying to decide what style to use for this challenge, I saw this NBUS* stamp on my desk and thought it would look great stamped in brown ink. Once I had stamped it, I thought,  'it needs something simple, but contrasting to finish it off' and then I remembered my huge stash of washi tape and voila! I really have no idea what style this card fits in to - maybe CAS?




I added the pearls for a touch of bling and to get the vanilla colour and then mounted the white  stamped card on to a kraft base card. Not too bad for something that came about accidently!
Now I might go and make another one!

*Never before used stuff The stamp is from an Australian company - Stamp It!

    Well, I have to say, for coming out of no where, I think this card is AMAZING! I love the oh so unique image and the use of the washi (I can never figure out how to use it!). And despite the CAS nature of the card, it is very elegant. Thanks so much for playing along at The Card Concept and hope to see more of your gorgeous work!
