One wonderful life.....

Hi- Hope your enjoying your Saturday.  I had another request for a wedding card - this time an all white card.  I love doing all white cards, there is just something about the elegance, clean and crispness of it.

Here is what I came up with:






Being this card is all white, I just didn't want to use plain white c/s so when I was at The Paper Pickle 
yesterday I found some embossed 12 x 12 that would work perfectly.  It is embossed with flourishes - it's very pretty.

Can you see the 4 x 4  cut out piece in the center where the ribbon is wrapped around.  This was done with an EK Success wide border punch.  Becca Feeken has an excellent tutorial on how to achieve this right here. She has some amazing artwork.

I used several different spellbinder dies: labels 20, oval, scallop oval, circle and fancy tags two.
The sentiment is from Justrite Stamps - I embossed it in silver.

I added a nestabling from Want 2 Scrap - pearls to match the Fancy tags Two die. I've had these for a while, this is the first time I've ever used them, they are so easy to apply to the die cut.

Finished off with some satin ribbon - bow was done using the bow easy and pearls in the corners.

I'm going to enter this card in the Simon Says Challenge - anything goes.

Thanks for stopping in today.  Till next time....
