Season's Greetings

It's Monday, which means another new challenge over at Make My Monday!  It's a Potpourri of challenges for December.  This week, the challenge is to create a Christmas Card using a White on White Technique with one of color for accent.  
I believe this is my very first White on White card.  I am so drawn to White on White cards, but have never been brave enough to try one.  Being able to add a touch of another color helped a bit.  A simple card, I embossed card stock using a Sissix Tim Hotlz folder, matted with red card stock and added to my card base.  Some vintage trim was added to the side of the card.  Finishing touches include a paper doily folded and attached to the bottom of the card, a flower made using the Tattered Flowers Die Cut, with a snow flake punch and a pompom.  Bits of white seam binding and a sentiment stamped with Festive Berries Distress Ink complete my card.  I hope you will join in the fun at Make My Monday.  Take care and have a great week.  Best, Yvonne

So classy and elegant Yvonne. The embossing is gorgeous and the way you have such a slim matting of red behind it looks wonderful. Super gorgeous less is more. Nicola x

Hello Yvonne
White on white is a huge favourite of mine but I adore the touches of red you have added.
So elegant.

Hi Yvonne, this is just my favourite card so far of yours. You shouldn't have left it so long to do white on white. I need to do one more card and you have inspired me to do white on white, so thank you!
