It took minutes to put together but an absolute age moving bits and bobs around on the base card and the pieces of red and blue card kept decreasing in size as it went along! Also the choice of Memory Box die kept changing and I finally settled on my old and well used 'Chloe Stem'. The opposite corners of the base card and coloured card were cut with a Dovecraft corner punch and I added some pearls to finish. The pearls are perfect matches to the coloured cards but the light just caught the red ones making them look a bit pinky in the photo.
I shall enter this in the following challenges
Less Is More challenge 'red, white and blue'
Pixie's Snippets Playground challenge 'use snippets' ~ snippets for the dies
Memory Box challenge 'red, white and blue'
Frosted Designs Friday challenge 'red, white and blue with a twist' ~ old die, new pearls & coloured card
Scrapy Land challenge 'anything goes with a brand of die Scrapy Land sells'
Thanks for popping by and I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.

I love the red, white and blue colors on your beautiful card! That Chloe Stems die really stands out on the solid backgrounds. Thanks for playing along with us at Scrapy Land Challenge #21!
As red, white, and blue cards go, this is one of the best in the CASlicious category that I've ever seen, Andrea! I love, love, love it!! Hugs, Darnell
I will admit to not being a lover of the combi either :). But the cards that are being entered this week are proving me wrong and this is a particularly stylish one - so CAS and effective Andrea!
Thanks for joining us this week

Lovely card !!
A beautiful card! I love the die and the CAS design. xx
Fabulously CAS. Sometimes the placement of so few elements is the toughest part of CAS cards but this looks great.
Thanks for sharing with us.

Looks wonderful! Perfect for that red, white and blue challenge!
The chloe stem is one of my faves and I don't think i have ever used mone...like hoarding my faves...crazy, I know!!!
This is a fabulous card, I am not usually very keen on red, white and blue either but they certainly look good on your card. I like the way you used the corner rounder and the Cloe Stems are beautiful.
