TRR #61 - White on White

Hi all, it's been a long time since I have created here for The Ribbon Reel challenge. Due to building/decorating work in my house, plus school holidays and work, I haven't had time for the things I really love to do. My friends keep telling me it will all be worth it in the end, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but, I can't wait until I can finally get all my craft stuff out and create properly!

Anyway, this week is my turn to host, and I have chosen the Theme of White on White, plus a flower and lace. I dragged all of my stuff out from under the stairs cupboard, dusted off my Cuttlebug, and got creating! I struggle with this theme, so I chose this challenge to, well, challenge myself! here is this picture that inspired me:

 And here is my creation:


Inspired by the picture, and by my lovely Blog Friend Sasha (do pop over to her blog, she makes the most beautiful things!) I have made a hanger, using some Spellbinders heart dies and some new fancy label dies. My intention is to hang it in my craft-room when it's finally finished.

For the hanger I have used some White Crochet Lace, and creamy spotted ribbon, topped with an off white Gardenia, all available from The Ribbon Reel Shop.


 Around the heart, I trimmed it with some beautiful White Box Pleat Sheer, and edged with some glamour dust. Finally I added a couple of off white Hydrangea Daisies to the heart. The sentiment is an old wooden stamp, from My Sentiments Exactly, stamped in London Fog.

Here are the fabulous Design Team to get your W.O.W mojo going!

Hope to see you over at the challenge, there's plenty of time to get inspired as the challenge runs for two weeks!

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

What a wonderful photo you chose. I can't believe how many people played along. Your card with the ruffled edges is gorgeous. This would be a keepsake FOREVER! Someone's grand kids are going to pull this out of a box in 40 years! Gorgeous!
