Happy Wednesday!
So here we go with the very first of my "white card Wednesday" creations .. .. which for me means no coloured card allowed .. .. .. unless I colour it myself of course.
The lovely Barb thought I would be straight in with a "white on white" creation .. .. but I definitely think I will need to build up to that! I don't know about you, but I find white on white cards very hard to photograph :-(
I think that this might be the most challenging, but possibly the most rewarding, of my themes .. .. .. but never let it be said I make things easy for myself !

This used:
Sizzix Dies: "654901" Daisies #2 and "658232" Leaves and Vine
Sentiment: Hobby Art Clear "CS013D" Floral Greeting
X-Cut Embossing Folder: Small Polka Dot (love the 6x6 folders as they cover a card front nicely without any joins to hide)
Scrapberry's Stencil: Petals
Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pads: Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Dried Marigold and Peeled Paint
Papermania Dew Drops
My Trusty Sewing Machine
Ribbon from my crafty stash box
So that is my first attempt at culling some of the white card that is in my possession .. .. I have quite a lot left over from the wedding work I do .. .. .. so I am unlikely to run out in a hurry.
Right then. A much needed craft pod clear up next, then off to quickly dip my head into the laundry basket. We have clear pale blue skies here today and sunshine, so I might get a bit of washing on the line at some stage today.
As for the Thursday theme .. .. .. .. well I need to get kids creations into the mix somehow, so I am going to go with "Thursday's Child". This can then cover new baby cards, and children's birthdays and Christmas makes (eekkk!! Sorry to have mentioned that word!!).
Have a good day everyone and I'll catch you again soon.
Love

Gorgeous card, Jules. I must admit when I saw your card, I scrolled back up to the title as I thought I'd read it incorrectly. Then I realised that you'd added all the colour yourself! Just love the design and a brilliant way to slightly reduce your mountain of white card. xx
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Jules. I think your themed days are a great idea - looking forward to seeing more of your creations.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue sky and sun here in Devon too - I went for a walk along the beach earlier and it was lovely.

ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Good luck using up your white card...

Really great idea Jules and such a lovely card. I had thought it would be pure white and did wonder when we emailed how you could sustain that. Ha! Now I know don't I - great idea as I already said!!
