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
It's Monday! And it's the beginning of December, so that means there is a new set of challenges over at Make My Monday (MMM). I was delighted and honored, recently, to be asked to be a Guest Artist for MMM during the month of December. Design Team Member, Caz, selected Potpourri Challenges for December. For the first week, our challenge is to create a project with "Favorite Flowers." I LOVE all flowers and am particularly drawn to flowers in orange and red tones. Caz's favorite flowers are "Poppies." I decided to create a card of my own around poppies. All images are from Artistic Outpost. The poppies, butterfly catcher and sentiment are from the Flower Market plate and the postcard is from Ephemera Background plate. Vintage Photo Distress Ink was used on the card base, the lace, doily and the stamped images to age the card elements. Simple embellishments include orange burlap string, vintage buttons, a bit of cheese cloth and copper butterflies. What is your favorite flower? I hope you will join us over at Make My Monday with your favorite blooms! Best wishes, Yvonne
