Hello my crafty friends! It is a white on white sort of day and this Bauble Christmas card is up for grabs today. Unfortunately, the pictures cannot capture the true beauty of this card as it is really elegant in real life. I found this piece of printed vellum with a holly motif on it in my stash and that became the basis for this card. I just thought it was too pretty not to use! I glued three corners to a piece of coconut white card which helped show up the pattern a bit more. On the last corner, I curled it up and used a couple of die cuts peeking out from underneath. These were from the Tranquil Moments die set. I cut two of the Christmas Sentimental Bauble, both in white and cut a matching solid piece out of white card covered with a self adhesive sticky sheet. I peeled the backing off and micro beaded them both, then glued the decorative piece on top (you can also do it the other way, put the pieces together and then micro bead the exposed sticky parts.) I cut both of the sentiment plaques and attached them in the centres of the baubles with mounting foam. Using the Holly Spray die, I cut several of both of them and arranged them around the top of the card to look like the baubles were hanging from them. I used dries clear glue on the leaves and sprinkled Iced Snow on them. The main part of the card was finished with a pearl spray in the lower corner. I added my usual pierced layer, but then matted it with a piece of card that I glittered the edges before adding my final white mat layer. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size. If you would like a chance to win this one, just leave a comment and I will draw a winner and post it on Saturday. All for now, Sue x

So pretty! Love the white on white!
I know what you mean about not being able to see how beautiful it is in a photo, so I know that it's way more beautiful than the photo but since the photo shows it to be beautiful beyond compare, this is definitely a card I really want to win. I love the sculptural qualities white on white die cutting creates and your card is an excellent example of that. It's exquisite. Pinned of course. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765605918623/
Gorgeous card! I usually don't do monochromatic but this is lovely.
I love white on white cards..... especially when you are the creator!! You always add so many different elements and textures. This Christmas card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Everything about this card is totally awesome!!
You are definitely one of the best card makers ever!!
Thanks for sharing your talents.
Beautiful card, makes me think of snow! I've been working on my Christmas cards today, and I'm using Sue's Holly die. Lucky person who receives this card.
