Morning all! I am going to leave you in Bloggers trusty hands for a few days while I take a little getaway and recharge my batteries so to speak. I have scheduled posts for each day I am gone (so you won't even know I'm not here! LOL), but I won't be answering any emails until late Saturday. I really love this card and I am hoping you will too, even if I won't know the answer to that for a few days! White on white has to be my all time favourite combo, it just always looks so clean and fresh. This would also make a lovely wedding, anniversary, christening or as is, just a simple thinking of you card! I used the corner from the new set by Flower Soft called Butterflies and Flowers Enhanceabilities. I used a small piece of wax paper between the card and the die (this is really a necessity with these dies too). I did all four corners first. You cannot emboss these dies when you are doing all four corners because the embossing will become flattened as you do the corners. Next I used the largest die in the Decorative Labels 27 die set to emboss the pattern in the centre. A little tip when doing this is to cut a piece of card (use white if you are doing a white card) and leave it in the die while you are embossing. This will help aid in the embossing, but usually will not allow the die to cut through the card which so often happens when just embossing. Occasionally you will get a wrinkle in your card when doing this technique though. It is helpful to plan your layout so you can hide any wrinkles with ribbon. If this becomes a constant issue, try not using the tan mat, but rather stack up a bunch of old card to use. The rubber mat is what causes the wrinkling to occur because it catches the card as it is going through the machine. I cut the next size down in that set out of coconut white card and layered it on my embossed pattern with mounting foam. Finally I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Vintage Lace accent piece and mounted it in the centre to complete my focal element. From the back of the card, I then used a pokey tool to push up all the areas in the corners as they are not cut completely out, just portions of the design are cut so that you can do this. I added small flatback pearls to the centres of all the flowers. I added a double bow out of white silky crush ribbon and topped it with one of the pearl button embellishments and two white pearl stick pins. I pierced the edges as a nice frame for the piece to complete it. Ah white on white, don't you just love it! All for now, Sue x

Hello! Hope you enjoy your time of relaxing and chilling, you deserve it! I've been playing all day with some dies and embossing folder and the fab neutral card you use. How you create your cards over and over, amazes me. I've been working on this one card for hours, you know trying to find the right position, finally it's all stuck down. I'd be rubbish if I had to produce as many samples as you do! But I have made a fab card, I think! May email it to you. Take care Zo xx
Hi Sue, this card is really beautiful. I love white on white! Hope you have a great time, you certainly deserve it!! Love Sam xxx
As always love the white tone card, the new dies look intresting, will have to look out for them. Have a wonderful well deserved break, Helen O xxx
Afternoon,
I love white on white and this card is simple scrummie. I wasnotgoing to put these dies on my wish list, but am going to have to rectify that now.

Very pretty Sue, I'm going to have to re-read those directions a few times though, sounds very complicated!
I'm a bit late posting today. This is one of my favouritist (is that a word) cards that I've seen you do. I just love it.
I do love the white on white cards that you do, even if they've just got a tiniest bit of a hint of colour - they just look perfect.
Have a fabulous break Sue.
