White on White blog hop

This month Lorby's World of Hops has challenged these talented crafters by asking them to create something that is white on white with a touch of color. I know you will be pleasantly surprised to see what they have come up with. There is so much talent here.

So please begin at Lorby's World http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com) since she is our hostess and has a give away going on with this hop. She has all the details on her blog.

Here is the line up in case you get lost alone the way.



Here is my project I am sharing with you.




Hello, I made n Anniversary card. The flowers are scallop circles that I cut into them to make petals. I curled some down and some up. I used 1", 1.25", and 1.5". I pop dotted each layer. Then added white pearls to the centers. I hand cut the leaves, scored down the middle, then curled them.

The pearls and pearl frame are by Want to Scrap.

The ribbon is by Really Reasonable ribbon. The bow I made is a double loop bow.

I embossed the background paper using Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.

The card is 5" x 6 1/2".

Thanks for stopping by. The next stop on the hop is Lynne
