It's Tickle a Teapotter time so I hope you join us and swap cards! Linda/bubblestx4 challenged us to do a white on white card and it was fun! This was actually a relief for me - not worrying about colors/ which color will go with which/what color is each part - and I came up with a card pretty fast.
The lower part of the card is simply scored every quarter of an inch, while the upper third was done with an embossing folder. The label die cut was popped up with craft foam, and I cut the sentiment three times and stacked them. My daughter doodled some flowers with white ink on vellum, I did the fussy cutting and put an enamel dot for the centers.
Thank you, Linda for the challenge and Sabrina/Cook22 for the behind the scenes!
**I still haven't bought white cs, LOL, and I'm surprised that I still have a lot of white cs scraps, enough to make this card! **

Perfect white on white! (We should all do them more often . . .) The stripes and dots look fab together for interest and I love that you even had a piece of white grosgrain to tie them together. BTW your daughter deserves a special treat for doodling you those cute vellum flowers. Thank you for playing in my challenge!

This card manages to be sweet and elegant at the same time. It's amazing how classy simple scored lines look (now I just have to remember that), and they pair so well with the dotted part. Your daughter's flowers are perfect.

What a fancy and chic card! Love the scored bottom with the dotted Swiss top, and the grosgrain ribbon with sentiment/label really pulls the two halves together perfectly. The leafy garland and doodled flowers add such a soft and feminine touch .… can I borrow your daughter someday?

Darling. Love all the texture you created here and it's all designed so beautifully. Your daughter should get a special treat for her doodling because those flowers are really the star on this card (Sorry Gem, but she did upstage you a bit...LOL). Fabulous card.

What a beautiful card. Your daughter drew the vellum flowers and you fussy cut them…I’m so impressed after die cutting my flowers and they aren’t a patch on these beauties. TFS. Happy day
