Celebrate with White on White

Helllo friends!
Today I have got a card to share based on the Cheery Lynn challenge this week which is to create a White on White card.
These cards are really difficult to photograph as one is never able to capture the true color and beauty of the creation. I find it very challenging to create something which is devoid of colors because I believe, that colors are the USP of my creations. I love working with colors and color is the thing which attracts me the most to any piece of art or work.
Having said that, here's a look at what I have created :


Close up of the flowers :

For this creation I wanted to play with textures and layers, a little bit of mixed media look without actually using any colors and this is what I have created :D..I did some stenciling using texture paste and stencil to create the background of my card and to give it a shabby torn look. I tore a bit of paper on the top and bottom and inlaid a doily in the space.To create the focal of my card I started first by layering Cheery Lynn Sophia's Heart doily die then placed my floral arrangement on it by creating the flowers using Shasta daisy flower die. The leaves and the foliage are also from various Cheery Lynn dies. I die-cut my sentiment using a Die-versions wordlet die and adhered it to my card base using Glue Dots. I have highlighted the entire card using White glitter glue to give it a little bit of sparkle.

Supplies used :
Card base- Campap
Dies :
Cheery Lynn Shasta Daisy die.
Cheery Lynn Sophia's heart Mini doily die.
Cheery Lynn French Pastry Mini doily die.
Cheery Lynn Flourish Leaf strip die.
Cheery Lynn Olive branches die.
Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die.
Die-Versions Wordlets die.
Stencil- Prima Marketing Damask
Camel Texture White, Glitter tape, Rhinestones and Glitter glue.

Challenges entered :
Cheery Lynn- Winter Whites
CardMania- Make it Sparkle
We Do Doobadoo- Romantic Whites ( Made it to Top 3 )
Dies R Us- Anything goes with Something New ( My new dies used are the Cheery Lynn Shasta Daisy die and Cheery Lynn Flourish strip die).

Hope you like my card. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. :)
Have a nice day everyone!

    Such a feminine and delicate feel to card Hussena! It's almost like touching lace...hat's off on your efforts to create something all white and to also photograph it.

    I agree, white on white is difficult to pull off. Your card is lovely with that detailed cascade of blooms. You should join Virginia's "clean slate" challenge. Thanks for your lovely comments this week.
