JUST ADD INK #84 ..... WHITE WITH ONE

This week's challenge over at Just Add Ink is not actually coffee-related!  Mae has set this week's challenge, to use white, plus one other colour.  This really was a challenge for me, because I don't tend to incorporate a lot of 'white space' (literally or otherwise) on my cards.

I decided to use one of Stampin' Up!'s note cards ... a smaller, less intimidating, canvas to work with!   I'm pretty happy with the end result, that is clean, with a pop of colour thanks to Concord Crush, and that showcases the gorgeous new Lace Ribbon Border punch from Stampin' Up!

Thanks, as always, must go to the supremely talented, lovely, Joanne Leddy, for teaching me how to make the flowers I love to incorporate on my cards!



Stamps: Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Whisper White, Note Card from SU!, Concord Crush
DSP: Concord Crush Patterns Designer Series Paper
Ink: Concord Crush stampin' pad
Other: Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Word Window punch, Beautiful Wings embosslits die, Fancy Flower punch, 5-Petal Flower punch, Boho Blossoms punch, Neutrals brad, Lace Ribbon Border punch

    This is lovely Christine. I love the flower and I think Concord Crush looks so beautiful with the white. How did you attach your ribbon border?? I'm taking a little survey to see what everyone else is doing. Oh, and since I didn't get around to commenting last week, congratulations on being at guest Designer at JAI this month. It's great to have you join us :)

    I am glad you weren't too daunted with this challenge Christine and maybe it might inspire you to create on a larger canvas next time! Love the flower embelishment, I have been having making some lately myself. ♥

    Your white with one is divine! Absolutely beautiful flower and it is so striking against the white - that border punch along the bottom is a terrific addition, nice and subtle.

    Fantastic colour choice Christine! Love your rose & the daintiness of the tiny butterflies on the dotty background. The white on white border looks fabulous too. :)
