I am so excited about sharing my card for today's challenge on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog. I am definitely going to try more of these style cards. I love how this monochromatic scheme looks in all white. So the challenge this week is to create a card that is all white except for the stamped image. If you didn't stop by my blog from the challenge blog I encourage you to check out the rest of the DT's cards. They are stunning.
Let me tell you a little about my card. The stamp that I used is from Penny Black. Simon Says Stamp carries many of the Penny Black line and this is just one of my favorites.
I colored the snowman in with some Copic markers and then smeared on some Stickles in Stardust all over the snowman. Then I popped up the image with Glue Dots Pop Dots and attached it to a open scalloped die cut from my Silhouette.
The background paper has been embossed with the new larger sized 5x7 Cuttlebug folder called Polka Dots. I love these new larger sizes because I can now use them on paper for my square cards.
The white flowers are Petaloo. These flowers are gorgeous!! The perfect accent on this card. I love the texture on them. They are handmade from Mulberry paper and have the gems already adhered to them.
Lastly the sentiment that I used was one from a favorite new stamp set that I just got. It is from Merry & Bright, one of two sets by Amy R for C.C. Designs. Check out the other set, Holiday Greetings, too.
I hope you will join us in our challenge this week. I know you will have as much fun as I did creating an all white card. Just pop on over to the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog and link up your creation and be entered to win a $25 gift certificate to the Simon Says Stamp store!!
