White on white card

Hello friends!

I've been so very busy, getting ready

for my wedding, that I haven't been posting as I should!

I taught this card in a class in April, so thought
I would share it!
I love the look of a white on white card and feel

that one can easily use them for a variety of occasions!

This card is 6" x 6"

*Please click on the photo below to make it larger

I used a variety of dies and punches in the making of my card!

I made the roses out of a pizza box liner.
 IF you look closely, you may see the small embossed circles.

Dies used:
Memory Box Madera Corner
SpellBinders Foliage

SpellBinders Donna Salazar Rose Creations
(rose and leaves)

Embossing Folder:

It was a lot of fun to make this card and enjoy

the other Ladies in the classroom!!

I added some stamen, half pearls.

Happily Ever After....

I know it's not June and the traditional

time for weddings, but I was in the mood

to make a wedding card, so here you go...

This sweet little image is from

A Day For Daisies and is called

"Dreaming of her wedding day."

It depicts a young girl wearing an over-sized wedding gown

and dreaming of her special day.  I think it's

a perfect image for a wedding or bridal shower card.
