White, White, White!

Loved the chance to make a white card for the Flourishes TT Challenge HERE.  The only other requirement was to use lace or pearls--both I love, so of course I used both!  The sample card included gray, which I thought my card needed, too.  I embossed in white the lovely flower from the Magnolias set.  It's die cut using Spellbinders Labels 4.  The branches are a Sizzix die & the embossing folder is by Sizzix for SU.  The sentiment from the same stamp set is die cut with Spellbinders oval.  Memento Gray Flannel is sponged on the flower & is used for the sentiment.  Shimmer Spritz frost is painted on the leaves & the Magnolia--love that shimmer!  The doily was a gift from my friend Nat & was just what I needed for this card.  I had fun making the row of pearls in a pattern with 2 different sizes.  The flower & sentiment are attached with foam tape.  Took me awhile to figure out that it was OK to let the sentiment cover part of the flower--funny how the light suddenly goes on sometimes--LOL!  This may be the most layers I've put on a card--I found it much easier using all white.  (Surprised you, Sue, didn't I?!)  Thanks so much for visiting my blog & letting me know what you think.  Enjoy the rest of your w/e & stop by tomorrow for the DeNami Blog Hop if you have a chance.

Addendum:  Recently found the Make It Monday blog through Meihsia's blog (she's a DT member).  This is not a challenge blog, more a friendly place to share your creations and find some inspiration.  Being a pretty new blogger, decided this was the perfect blog for me.  I'm going to link this post next week.  You might want to check it out.
