White on white is a favorite, so when I saw it was this week's challenge at ODBD I decided to make a card & not wait until the last minute--for a change--LOL! I recently re-read in an old stamping magazine that you add interest to an all white card by using various shades & textures. I used 3 white card stocks--textured, regular weight & heavy weight. I would love to add Verve products to my collection & I really like the Mojo Monday sketch. I've never entered that challenge--fun to try something new.
ODBD Vintage Border
Background is embossed with an old satin embossing powder, as are the Sweet William flowers. The image from Fancy Labels was embossed with white ep. The words are also from Sweet William & are stamped in Memento London Fog. These leaf dies from 4EnScrap are really pretty cut from the textured paper. Pearls are still my favorite embellishment & are what I think of with white on white.
I'm also entering SSS Wednesday & Pixies Snippets Playground since the sentiment strip, flowers & label are from scraps. In this case, I'm proud of myself for finally cutting into that beautiful white textured paper! Love that you took time to come by--thank you so much.

I've always loved pink and gold, but only in the last couple years did I realize they are wonderful together. Since the inspiration picture for the Curtain Call challenge has 2 shades of pink plus gold I used that inspiration to make my card following (sort of--LOL!) Alexandra's wonderful sketch for one of 4EnScrap's challenges celebrating World Cardmaking Day. 
Snippets Playground since the leaves were in my box of cut but not used die cuts & both the gold & stamped panels were done with scraps. The solid die cut leaves are Penny Black (designed by Alexandra) & the open leaves are 4EnScrap. The beautiful embossed vellum butterflies were a gift from my sweet friend, Lai-Yoke. I would love to have Pan Pastels, but not in the budget, so I pulled out my inexpensive Studio G chalks & used 2 shades of pink to color the white cardstock before I stamped Penny Black's Diamond Pattern in Versamark & then rubbed over the image with the same 2 chalks. The sentiment is from Penny Black's Lace Delight & was stamped in Versamark & rubbed with the darker pink chalk using a cotton ball. The excess wipes right off with a soft tissue. The bottom butterfly was colored with markers & the top one was swiped with Delicata Golden Glitz--also used on the Candi embellishment. It looks odd in the picture, but matches the colors in real life. I don't have many sequins & my gold ones didn't match & were too big. Gave me a chance to use my neglected Gold Leafing Pen--worked like a charm to color some of my very old yellow sequins. Since I used 5 sequins I'll enter the SSS Monday challenge. Always makes my day to read your comments--thanks so much for taking the time to come by.
