Balm of Friendship

I can't remember ever making a mainly white card but I wanted to enter the challenge at Wild Orchid Challenge ("White + another colour"), so I decided to give it a go... Here is what I have made...


I have used another stamp from my new set from WaltzingMouse - no little character again, I was really out of my comfort zone !!!. I have embossed the background and added some lovely gingham ribbon I put through one of my Fancy Labels from Spellbinder. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts - as well as the ribbon - and the corners were cut out with a Cuttlebug die.
My card will also enter the challenges :
- "Anything Goes" with The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop
- "Anything Goes" with Simon Says Stamp
Happy Crafting !

Coucou Catherine
Ta carte est super belle dans ce style très épuré avec ces touches de couleur rouge. Bravo pour l'embossage qui fait un super effet. Et les images texte que tu mets en valeur sont sublimes.
