It's 'WHITE' on 'WHITE' and a little Stenciling.

 

Do you love just White on White?

I 'DO'

 

My favourite 'go to' for cards at the moment are

Stencils and have only delved into them big time of late.

I also discovered that you can do some much with them

especially with Textured Paste just to name one.

Now I have never gone there before even though

I love playing with backgrounds.

Maybe I must have been under a mushroom.

Now that the Pandora Box has opened - goodness knows

where it will take me.

I recently bought this fabulous Tim Holtz Stencil

called Holiday Knit and thought I would try

my new found trend.

I made my own Texture Paste as I don't live near

a craft store. I just used Acrylic Paint

Glue and didn't have Baby Powder so

used Bicarb of Soda. I did read that this would

make the paste rough and it did that but I liked the result.

Not bad for my first attempt

I showed my Sister in Law and she was into

Folk Art so she gave me her supply of

Acrylic Paints so I am going to have so much fun with them.

Sorry - a bit long winded there.

Onto the reason I am posting here.

I found a great challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge

and it is W for all WHITE - Perfect I said.

All I had to do was pop my Embossed Stencil

and add a Sentiment from SU Heard from the Heart.

I had this lovely paper that has a gold sparkle

going through it which was just what I needed

to go with the Gold embossed sentiment.

I curled the edges and lifted part

of the sentiment.

I also found another challenge that suited my card

Artist Trading Post Exchange

where you were asked to use a Stencil and Stamp

(Just got those 2 in). Mine is just a

simple mixed media card.

So that's it for this post.

Sunday Stamps and CAS Sunday Challenge

 

This weeks challenge over at Sunday Stamps

is a Colour One - It's all Plum

and all the details are Here
and at Clean & Simple on Sunday
they have Challenge #46 Ribbon and or Twine.

 

 

As purple/plum is my favourite colour
 (my favourite flower is a thistle being a Scot)
 and I love to add a bit of twine or ribbon (twine this time)
to finish of my cards
 I got in quickly to use a new stencil
and a fairly new SU Set - Petite Petals.
***
For some reason the purple/mauve colours
come out more like blue
when they are photographed.
***
For my card I used the following items ...
Basic white card stock
SU Petite Petals Stamp & Punch
SU Just Believe/Pocket Silhouettes for the Sentiments
Stencil is from The Crafter's Workshop - Mini Texture
Kaisercraft Leaves Stamp
Kaisercraft Pearls
Memento Inks - Sweet Plum, Lulu Lavender,
Eldenberry and New Sprout
Variegated Twine & Small Flower Punch.
***
It was a pretty simple card to make with just
stamping and a little punching.
***
Thanks for stopping by. I love hearing
what you think of my work.
