White Focal

 Over at the Memory Box Challenge Blog the challenge this month was to use white as the focal of your card.  The first thing I thought of was a Kraft background, I just love that combo and don't use it very often.  I picked this die because I thought it would make a lovely swag to go across the card.

I started off by inking around the edges with white ink and leaving the center so that the die would pop nicely against it. The die has been layered 3 times to give it a little more depth and I topped it off with some pearls.


  • Memory Box - Seraphine Laurel die
  • Tim Holtz - Clippings sticker book for sentiment
  • white ink
  • Kaisercraft - pearls




Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by,

Connie

This is a lovely and elegant card, Connie. The swags of flowers are stars of the show. The touch of white ink around the border adds a lovely dimension. Doing this really does lead the eyes to the centre and those pretty flowers.

This is so pretty and elegant Connie. The white flowers and vines with the pearls make a lovely swag. The white ink around the edges is a great way to draw your eye inward. Beautifully done!

It does make for a lovely swag, and you got such movement by placing where you did. Love the subtle layers and your pretty Kraft and shaded background. Glad you remembered to post it! ;)
