Sweet Stampin' - white on white

Our challenge at Sweet Stampin' this week is 'white on white' - a huge challenge for me, I just can't work without colour at all!  We're sponsored by Bunny Zoe's who are providing our lucky winner with a £10 voucher to spend in their shop, and our monthly sponsor is Joanna Sheen.


You wouldn't believe how long I spent on this card, and I'm really not happy with the result.  I've used an image from one of my favourite DigiStamp Boutique sets - the Valentine Bird collection.  I made the card using go-kreate circle dies and nesties for the smaller circles.  One layer is embossed with the 'swiss dots' folder, the border was cut with the MS scallop dot punch.  I added a strip of lace from The Stamp Basket and glamour dust around the edges.  The sentiment is Stampin' Up.

Sorry I've not visited many of you over the last couple of days.  On Thursday night Dex started with a tummy bug, and we were up all night with him - I think we used every available sheet, pillowcase and pair of pyjamas in the house!  He was still poorly yesterday, but thankfully stopped being sick by early afternoon.  He's spent most of today dozing on the sofa and he won't eat, but I think the worst is over.  Morgan set off for Mexico yesterday and I'm just hoping he won't get it - that would be no fun on the plane or in a hotel for that matter!

I'll be back soon with my DT card for A Gem of a Challenge, and fingers crossed I'll be able to catch up with you all this evening :o)

    Well Lisa, I think it was time well spent it's a very pretty card:0) Sorry to hear that Dex is not well, he has the right idea tho, don't eat till you feel like it. I hope Morgan's journey is good and he doesn't get the bug at all, take care you don't want it either, Gay xxx

    It is so different to not see your usual colourful creation but I think you worked this perfectly Lisa and all that sparkle is the perfect accent too :)
    Poor Dex...it really takes the stuffing out of them at such a young age! Hope he's better soon and Morgan escaped the bug!

    Hi Lisa, hoping that Dex is recovered or recovering by now (it's Sunday eveng) I hate it when Em is sick - there is so little warning then it goes everywhere - yuk!

    Ems come down with a cold this weekend, that has now been passed onto me - oh the joys of children, eh!

    Gorgeous card, by the way, I think you've done a great job of White on White - love the image and the sparkles around the edge.
