I saw a beautiful all white card on the blog of the very talented Christine Dark . I have seen Christine demonstrate a number of times at the brilliant Craft Barn Extravaganzas. She is a truly talented crafter, her skills in watercolouring with Distress Inks are awesome. Anyway, I loved Christine's white card immediately and wanted to try and do a version for rmyself. I did think my version is a rather pale imitation of Christine's perfect card, then I wondered if it is possible to make a pale imitation of an all white card anyway? !
I don't have any large Cuttlebug embossing folders, so I made four square panels using the Divine Swirls folder. I used this gorgeous sentiment which is one of my new stamps from Quietfire. I embossed the sentiment onto another circle of white card in silver detail powder. I love the crispness of this stamp. I still can't get over my childlike wonder at the magic of the embossing appearing this beautifully from under the heat gun!
I made a wreath of snowflakes using a set of Marianne dies, stuck it all together with silicone glue and added some self adhesive gems and pearls.
Hope you are keeping up with your own festive crafting!

a really beautiful card Elaine - I love monochrome cards, but have never tried all white.- afraid it would end up too mucky!-......lovely sentiment too
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card...
ReplyDeleteI can see why you love your new stamps Elaine. This one is beautiful with such gorgeous caligraphy and the card itself is wonderful and not a pale imitation of anything. Lucky person who gets that one!

ReplyDeletewell...I think its a stunning take on the card - love everything about it...so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card - the all white is so effective. Knowing me I'd probably get a messy mark on it at the last moment!!
ReplyDeleteIts a beautiful card - I too wouldn`t trust myself to make something all white. I am just too messy I`m afraid but I admire those who can. x Lavinia
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful card Elaine. I saw Christine's card, and thought how lovely it was. Yours is very inventive, using what you have, and no less lovely for that reason. Your sentiment is lovely with the calligraphy swirls. Judith xx
