LIM is all White.....
........ as Jonathan Ross would say, but whilst it is an excellent challenge blog I was referring to this weeks requirements to use "white on white" on your card .
So many ideas in my head for this one but I decided to settle with paper cutting to make a couple of Calla Lilies
I used a template from a magazine cutting , I have a whole folder of cuttings for ideas and templates , I traced the shapes onto the card using an embossing tool so as not to introduce pencil lines at all and cut them out . I used a mini mister to dampen the card so I could shape it and then assembled the pieces on the card . The sentiment had to be second stamping with black ink so as to soften the ink colour and the background is embossed using a cuttlebug folder using Mandi and Chrissie's tutorial this week .
I have to say there are some stunning entries this week and the page of thumbnails over at LIM is quite something to see , I never realised how many shades of white there are :)
I also want to say thank you to all my lovely followers and people who comment on my blog , I really appreciate your kind words :)
Thanks so much for visiting me today X
