I hope everyone had a Wonderful Merry Christmas with family and friends. My mom made me a pecan pie with no crusts or glutens! It was delicious. Funny thing is I really do not miss the crust. Anyway, I received for Christmas some much wanted stamps and dies that I have had on my wishlist for what seems like forever!
I am sharing a card today for PTI monthly Blog Hop! This month's is all about white on white. A tad of color can be used, but the focus should be WHITE! I LOVE color so this one was quite a challenge. Even the photography was challenging. It is rainy and stormy here today, so I ended up having to get a picture outside in the screen porch.
I used two techniques I have been enjoying lately. I love making dimensional backgrounds using die cuts. Here I used Rosie Posie dies. While it is a leafy stem, I really think the arrangement lends this element more toward a graphic designed background. The second technique I used here is creating a background using a portion of a stamp. I inked up on the polka dotted portion of the large frame from the Fabulous Frames set. It is a solid background with polka dots. I stamped around the edge and in the middle. Some overlapping occurred, but I love the effect. I used sweet blush ink.
I stamped the new Limitless Layers heart frames with one of the frames from With All My Heart. LOVE this set and dies! Yippee! I added a couple of white and soft pink buttons and finished with a white seam binding bow. Kept it simple and sweet, but I totally feel the LOVE!
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
