All White - except for the Turquoise!

Hello!

Thanks for visiting my little crafty place - I hope you enjoy seeing what I've been making and sharing, if you have a minute, please leave a message!

 I'm sharing the second of the cards I made for this week’s Daring Cardmakers challenge - I used a different background and colour accent, but the dies are the same so its similar to the first one.
This was the challenge:

 "That's All White Then! 
Just go as white as you dare on your cards this week and use just a little colour if you really have to! We are excited to see what you come up with!"

 You can see what the team made HERE

I've used white and a deep turquoise colour for accent on this one
started by painting a piece of fine corrugated card using a white Posca pen
 
- as usual, I get this by damping one side of the tray from a Tesco's Finest Croissants pack with water, waiting a couple of minutes then peeling the paper layer off
The 'sprig' dies are all from the various 'Sealed' sets by Spellbinders and honestly, I love them so much, I want them all!

At the back of this arrangement I used 2 dies from the Sealed Squiggles  set - To get the 'stained glass window' effect you need to hang on to the pieces of the base (coloured) die cut - if you're lucky all the little 'bits' will stay in the die - the one time you actually want this to happen!

 I add a few tiny pieces of tape to the back to hold them in place before adhering it to the back of the fully cut out die cut

 I added the flower petals and centres then arranged them all on the corrugated panel.

To finisgh I used another of my butterfly wax seals, this time ina pale aqua wax with the butterfly highlighted with a deep turquoise-blue metallic pen from Edding

The dies are all by Spellbinders:

Sealed Blooms

Sealed Wildflowers
