Week 14 - White on White, Less Is More Challenge

Hey Guys

Yes that was a long title ;o)  This card was actually really difficult to do as normally I'd never dream of sticking to one colour.  Was a bit worried that things weren't standing out but the picture almost gets it all.   The wonderful thing about these challenges is that they pull you out of your comfort zone, think I need a biscuit ;o)



I've used the Flower, Daisies #2 die with my Sizzix Big shot and the leaves are from the Bird punch.


I embossed the word love hoping it would stand out a little more than an inked sentiment.


Here it is from a different angle but the sentiment if difficult to see.

The flower and leaves have been lightly sponged with Grey ink.

Hope you like it.

    I love this big flower - so pretty, the sentiment is lovely - white embossing can be hard to see on photos - but works in real-life!! It's lovely!

    That is so true, was very happy with this until I saw the photo! Some things don't translate very well on camera (although it could be operator error ;o))
    Thanks for the lovely comment

    The branch from the bird punch goes a treat with the big bloom. I like the embossed sentiment too. x
