First Card Challenge: CAS-ual Fridays Challenge 45

Time to dive in and add a post for my first challenge entry! I'm going to wet my metaphoric 'challenge feet' by entering CAS-ual Fridays Challenge 45, which calls for a card featuring black and pastels.

This is a card I created for mother's day using black Core'dinations cardstock (I don't have the exact details of the shade), with pastel pink and pastel blue gemstones on the embossed image.

 Ok, ok, I know it's a stretch to say it meets the challenge, but I've got to start somewhere, right?!
