White on White

Colour Create Time again! This week we have a really fun challenge of White on White where the only color on the card is the image.

Simon Says Stamp is sponsoring this challenge. You can head over to Colour Create for the details. And please check out Simon Says Stamp website - they have a fabulous selection of products!

On to my cards...

For those of you who check out my blog regularly, you may notice that I do stamp occasionally, but I prefer digital stamps or my Cricut machine for the main image. I am just really bad at stamping, and I have never been good at colouring! So I was kind of nervous about this one. I was sketching down ideas all week. It turns out I have lots of fun things to show you!

For the first card, I decided to make a snowflake the main subject of the card.

I think I kind of broke the "rules" on this one. I stamped the background instead of the main image. I used silver pigment ink and silver embossing powder to highlight the snowflakes a little. The "snowflakes" are actually from the Cricut Home Accents cartridge. I layered with foam adhesives.

I added Frosted Lace Stickles to the edges of the snowflake which gave a bit of sparkle. Then I added a gem to the snowflake.

The sentiment (and snowflake stamps) are from the Papertrey Ink Winter Swirls set.

For the second card, I used the new Cricut Sweethearts cartridge. I just got it and had to give it a try!

The heart background, images and sentiment are all from Cricut Sweethearts.

I embossed the background with the Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls folder.

I added some ribbon and gems for the final details.

I made this next card in honor of breast cancer awareness month.

The swirled frame is from the Cricut Storybook cartridge - it is my favorite frame - all swirly! The background text paper is from the Think Pink kit from Pink Petticoat - if you click on the link, it will take you to this free download.

I cut the letters using the Cricut Storybook cartridge.

Finally, my favorite card of the bunch. I have been making a lot of cards with ruffles over the past couple of weeks. They are kind of fun to sew, and they look so pretty. So I just had to do a ruffle card!

The image is from the Pink Petticoat Happily Ever After set. I coloured (and I use this term loosely) with some un-fancy markers. I used Nestabilities for the circle and scalloped circle.

I embossed the top with the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls folder. Then I added irridescent Stickles for some sparkle.

I just love the ruffled ribbon! For those of you who are sick and tired of seeing ruffled ribbon on my blog, I am done now!

I finished off with a bow, secured by a button.


Please try to visit all of the other design team members blogs. They have all created some real beauties!
