I love the elegant look of white on white, but I do struggle a bit to create these. . . . I die cut all my elements twice from 110# white cardstock and layered. Ran half a white panel through my Big Shot with a Chevron EF then trimmed to fit under my die cut curved border which was 3 dies sandwiched together to make a wider decorative band. Added the sentiment and bits & pieces of the SB Romantic Vines.
I decided it needed a few Nuvo drops in the upper scallops of the curved band and around the vines and then - oops as you can see see, I promptly got carried away dotting here and there until I went "oh my, what have I done" . . . perhaps a few too many Nuvo drops - perhaps not - you be the judge.
BTW - if you have a preference between my 2 cards, please note it in the comments, in case I draw your name for the Teapot Tickle Exchange.

For some reason the white drops make me think of marshmallows or candy dots. Something sweet. Something delicious. Just like your card.

Those dots do look like you could peel them off and eat them, like those candy dots on paper. I don't know why I love those...they're just blobs of sugar. I think I liked the look the most. This does look like frosting on a cake. But I would take the CAS one. They're both so lovely!

I love the graceful lines of this card, Linda - it's elegant! The Nuvo drops - didn't someone say that too much of a good thing is wonderful? I agree with that observation wholeheartedly!

Twice and layering - you really went the extra mile on this one, Linda. More dies that I need to use more often! Not too many dots at all, and beautifully done. Thanks for a fun and inspiring challenge.
