White on White Joy

I always find 'White on White' challenging, but decided to make a Christmas card for this week's Christmas Card Throwdown.


To make this card I used:
     7" x 5" white matt card blank
     Creative Expressions 'Festive Collection - Joy', All Occasion Dies 'Small Poinsettia' and Memory Box 'Mini Holly Leaves' dies
     Xcut 'Swirls' embossing folder
     Snippets of white matt card

I embossed a piece of white card, trimmed around the edges and attached it to the front of the card. .  I die cut the poinsettia and holly berries from snippets of white card, before embossing the poinsettias.  The poinsettias were layered with the holly berries attached to the centre.  I die cut 'JOY' twice from white card, embossed the 'J' and 'Y' before layering them so they would be more prominent in the centre of the embossed panel.  I placed the letters and flower onto the card to ensure they were evenly spaced before gluing them into place.

I am entering the following challenges:
     52 Christmas Card Throwdown - White
     ABC Christmas Challenge - D for Die Cuts
     Allsorts - Anything Goes     
     Merry Little Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes

I find white on white challenging too, but love the look. I think you’ve cracked it this time though, your card is lovely!

White on white is so elegant and this looks really pretty with the embossed frame and the die cut poinsettia and holly berries as the centre of the die cut sentiment which fits perfectly in the oval on the background...a beautiful card Kath. x
