Before I get to the challenge, I would like you to know this will be my last post as a Design Team member of the PPA. I have so enjoyed your support and the love you have sent my way. I had such a fun time being on the DT with all the awesome talent and will so miss it!!! So look for my card amongst all the uploads, too. *smile*
Barbara Chatzkel will be taking over my spot on the design team. You will love her clean and fresh style. Be sure to welcome her next week. Barbara you'll be a perfect fit!
Todays challenge is to Soften the edges with a CAS card. My picture turned out so flat and bland looking. I had to take the pic when it was raining… nothing I did to it fixed it. So picture Soft Suede…
The Pearl Flourishes are from my long forgotten stash. They were actually still in the Michaels sack and the receipt said Sept. of 2010. I decided right then and there to get them organized. I was so proud!!! Here's the inside…
I hope you enjoyed my card today even though the colors are so bland. Please join the PPA and Nicole Watt as the guest designer this week. Come back tomorrow when I post the winner from Monday's Blog Candy and my Color Challenge card where I used the wrong colors.
Upcoming: A card full of Ladybugs!!!

DT or not Carla...you're a leader and I'm a follower - wherever you are! Your card looks PERFECT!
WHAT!?!?!? Oh my gosh. It's true that I will miss you on the DT over at PPA, but that can't stop me from checking in ALL the time and using your amazing work for inspiration. Oh....and your card is fabulous. I love soft suede and your card is a perfect take on the challenge.
Carla,
Sorry to hear you will no longer be with PPA.
I think we all have some of those 'forgotten' purchases stashed away. Glad you found the bag as the pearl swirls look lovely with the crochet trim and DSP.
Lisa
Really pretty card. I like the feminine bling of pearls and lace in a less feminine color. Good think I've bookmarked your website so I can keep checking for your pretty creations! Thanks for the inspiration.
Andrea
Most excellent card. Thanks for sharing.
Your cards are always an inspiration and your work has gotten to me to try techniques I normally would NEVER do. Thank you for all your hard work on the PPA challenges! TFS.
What a stunning card, love the colors and dimension!
What an elegant card! I love it! Thanks so much for all you share with us!
Beautiful card Carla! That Soft Suede is a pain - yours came out better than mine - mine looks like yuck brown in my picture today!
Stunning, Carla! I will miss having you on the team...
Wow Carla, your cards are amazing. this is my first visit to your blog and I was looking back over your older posts. So Beautiful, and inspiring. I will definately be back to check out your work. TFS
As usual, over-the-top gorgeous. I love how you pulled the dots from the daisy into pearls and the 3D flower!

I'll sure keep on watching your blog. I love what I see here.
This card is very pretty with the pearl flourish. And I always enjoy how you do the inside of your cards as well.
YOU Carla could make a bin liner look brilliant!!! This 'bland' *don't be daft* card, is anything BUT!! It's a proper bobby dazzler!!!

Carla this card is gorgeous. I really love seeing your creations. Love the soft feminine look of this card as well as the flower and lace.

I subscribe to your blog so I will still get to see your beautiful creations. Love your card today and the colors also. TFS
Elegant and classy sums up this pearly card! I love your flourish of pearls! I'll miss ya, Carla!
Soft corners and soft suede along with those beautiful pearl flourishes make this a sweet card. We'll miss you, Carla, but expect you to play along whenever you get the chance.
Another beauty, dear friend! This is just gorgeous (and I would not expect any thing less)! I LOVE the polka dots on the flower! Too cute! You always amaze me Carla! I'll be checking your blog often! I won't have to look for your card among all the uploads! It will "stand out" and be easily recognizable! Lots of hugs! - MM : )
