Crazy for white-on-white

Help - I can't seem to stop - LOL! TGIF and I'm back with another white-on-white card as inspiration for the current Christmas Kickstart challenge where I'm Jo's elf. I'm hoping to encourage some participation over the weekend - you have until Monday UK time to play along. A new challenge will start on Tuesday. Here's my latest white-on-white with a touch of silver:


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb;
Ephemera from Spellbinders October 2019 card kit
Dies - Kat Scrappiness Crafters Essentials Winter;
Hero Arts - DI064 Snowflake Fancy Die (retired)
Embossing folders - Sizzix 3D Winter Snowflakes;
Spellbinders Laurels and Bows (I used the label it cuts)
Other - Crystal Stickles

I started with an A2 card formed from Neenah, then die cut a white panel cut using a cover die new to me from Kat Scrappiness. This company sponsors challenges at Die Cut Divas (up again in December) and since I'm new on the team, off I went to become a customer. Absolutely couldn't resist their Crafters Essentials - Winter set with fabulous scene elements and a nice sale price. I also picked up a couple of Mini Tipsy Glue Holders by Crafters Solutions - perfect for holding my Gina K. Connect Glue so it drains down to the tip!

The cover die embosses some bitty snowflakes and cuts some stitched swirls. I wanted more embossing for my card so ran the die cut panel through with a 3D snowflake folder - fabulous! Glued this to my card, then added a die cut label and 3 snowflakes stacked for dimension. The top snowflake was painted with Stickles for subtle shimmer. What next??? During Spellbinders recent sale I picked up some old card kits - couldn't believe these beauties were still available! Oh, the ephemera - so fabulous! The bits add so much to a card and so quickly!! I was just opening the October 2019 package to see if there was a quick sentiment strip I could use - yes, but also the jumping stag and the stars popped out - yay! Layered all that onto my card - done!!

I'm linking up to Darnell's NBUS Challenge since my cover die is new, to Virginia's Show and Share, and to Watercooler Wednesday All Occasions. Will also add to the gallery as inspiration at Christmas Kickstart.

You’ve been on a shopping frenzy! Sounds like all great buys. This card is gorgeous! And is my favourite from all your white-on-white cards... so far that is (who knows you may squeeze in another one with all your purchases 😂). Love white with silver. Incredible dimension and texture.

Oh, Linda, you have the perfect formula for a beautiful monochromatic card - lots of layers and texture!! I just love it. Keep those holiday cards coming! I think we will all be sending more than our usual number this year. Hope you have a great weekend!
