This was hard. I made this card for a Late Night Stampers Challenge. The challenge was to create a card using only white with the exception of the greeting or sentiment. No color. At all. Now, for someone who loves bright colors (hello, the walls in my stamp room are Wild Wasabi!) this really was a challenge.
It was almost as challenging to get a decent picture of an all white card! Now, this really is much prettier IRL. I used White Vellum Card Stock and ran it through my Big Shot and my Northern Flurry Embossing Folder. The vellum takes the embossing really well and almost distresses the embossed images. I used a 2-way Glue Pen over my embossed snowflakes and covered them with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. (yes, both me and the cat are very sparkly tonight!) You can see it a little better here...
I backed the Vellum with Whisper White Card Stock to give it some body and wrapped the entire piece with Whisper White 5/8" Satin Ribbon. It was still pretty boring so I embossed one of the ornament images from the Delightful Decorations Stamp Set on a piece of White Vellum using White Stampin' Emboss Powder and punched it out with my Ornament Punch. I used a Clear Rhinestone Brad To attach my bow and punched ornament to my card front and used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop the entire piece off of my card base. (which soo doesn't show up in the photo)
Last, but not least, my little bit of color! I added the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Christmas Greetings Stamp Set (don't ya just love that font?) in the new In Color Island Indigo.
Well, this was a fun challenge but I don't think I will be trying it again anytime soon! I want my color back! I think I will go pull out that Wild Wasabi...
Thanks for stoppin' by!
