Simon Says.......White on White

Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog

Welcome to another challenge at Simon Says Stamp!  This week we have a gorgeous photo collage inspiration that our Joy made up for us, and the challenge is White on White!  The design team is using Cuttlebug products - I know you'll want to play along, too!  Here's Joy's inspiration piece:


My eyes fastened on the whitewashed woods and all the flowers and here's what I came up with this week:


I started with a piece of paper from My Mind's Eye Bramble Rose pad and built up from there, using my Cuttlebug machine for almost everything else on my card.  First I embossed the trellis design (a cuttlebug embossing folder called Wicker Weave) on a vellum panel and attached that to my white-washed boards background.  Next I die-cut some Sizzix Sizzlits Branch with Leaves and added them.  The roses are My Favorite Things large and mini Rolled Roses.  And to finish, I made a little banner using a sentiment from Hero Arts Friend You're the Best stamp set. 

Heidi has again provided another $50.00 gift voucher for the random winner of this challenge.  I know you're going to fill the gallery with beauty this week!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL, Lin! I, too, was inspired by the whitewashed wood, but couldn't figure out what to do. You nailed it with the paper! And I love the embossed vellum as the trellis for those gorgeous flowers. Perfect! :)
