That's All White Then!

 

   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 this week’s card for the Daring Cardmakers challenge today.

 "Every now and then we find ourselves needing a 'substitute' challenge for one reason or another, and that's what happened ahead of this one.  At that time we had snow in some parts of the UK and there's bound to be plenty still over a lot of the world.  
So someone said "What about having an All White challenge?" 
and it seemed like a good idea at the time...

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 actually made two cards for this challenge, I thought maybe I'd added too much colour to the first one so made another similar card and I'll share that today and save the other for another day


I wasn't happy with my photosyesterday so have taken some more this morning and I think they are better.  White is sometimes really tricky to photograph, isn't it?

Anyway...

I've used white and silver for this card, There's a matte silver panel with an embossed white panel over the top, I used an old Spellbinders embossing folder, I'm sorry but I can't find the name or a link for it

I cut all the stems in both the plain white and the silver glitter card, then adhered them white on top of silver, but just slightly misaligned


I added the flower petals and centres then arranged them ontop of the embossed panel with the stems crossing

The dies are all by Spellbinders:

Sealed leaf sprigs  

Sealed Blooms

Sealed Wildflowers 

Next I glued 3 white waxed cord strands, adding  white and silver bows to where the stems crossed.  To complete I've used a wax seal - I'm still practising making these!  This one is white wax with the butterfly highlighted first with a deep turquoise metallic pen, then when that was dry I went over again with silver.

Thank you so much for coming by
