Prettie White Wednesday
Happy Prettie Wednesday! Our challenge this week is from Jackie Pedro and I think it was a lot of fun! She challenged the Pretty Girls to make an all white card - no color except for the stamped image. We could 
have layers and embellies, just had to be white. I had fun trying to come up with something a little different without going crazy and this is one of those cases that I promise you, the card looks much better in person than in the photograph - it just looks blah here! Oh well - trust me! :)
The image is Lady Liberty from Paper Pretties of course.The middle layer is a piece of shimmery white paper which I embossed using my Scor-Pal. I then stamped a line of stars using Fresh Snow white ink. The layer behind the main image is a piece of clear acetate (was that cheating Jackie??) from an stamp box which I cut using the scalloped oval Nestabilities. For the star embellishment, I cut one Cuttlebug star from the clear stamp box and one from the shimmery white paper and then layered on a white star button I found in my stash.
I tried to get an angled shot of the shimmery cardstock and stamped stars but I'm not sure it's any better - lol! I didn't really like any of the placements I tried with the sentiment so I ended up putting it on the inside - layered on another piece of shimmery cardstock.
Be sure to take a few minutes and visit the rest of the Prettie Girls - I can't wait to see their white cards!!

ReplyDeleteVery nice job on this white card Julie! I love your cute Statue of Liberty and your star and buttons!
ReplyDeleteAwesome card Julie! Love the shimmery white paper and the cute image... TFS!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the shimmer paper. At first it looked like really fancy ribbon wrapped around a piece of cs. The close up really shows it off though. Great card.
ReplyDeleteI think the card looks amazing, what are you talking about??
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love how you used the shimmergy white paper too, I wish I had thouht of that!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Love the clear layer and the background you made is awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Jules!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, Jules!!
ReplyDeleteI love your work! I am new to stamping although I scrapbook. i usually avoid the sketchy type stamps because of all of the detail but you make it look so nice! I am more than a bit obsessed with organization. I have found the greatest craft furniture at the following website. I especially love the workbox. I am currently competing to win the EZ View desk.

ReplyDeleteThanks in advance.
