Over at the Christmas Stampin' All Year Long blog there's a challenge this week to make a Christmas card that is mostly white - it was a challenge set by the very talented Sankari from Sankari's Sunshine Corner. If you're stuck there's also a sketch to follow if you like.
I decided to come up with my own layout and thought a predominately white card would ooze elegance. I've used Mellow Moss CS as my touch of colour. I went for a simple look - using texture to add interest. I've stamped my Lovely as a Tree pine in Sage Shadow and then glittered it up before cutting it out with my nesties. I meant to use Sage Shadow CS for the layout too - but picked the wrong sheet out - oops! The colour difference isn't too noticable with the sparkle covering the tree. Once again I wish I could photograph the sparkle - maybe one day!
I ruched the tails of the taffeta ribbon to add more texture and to frame the sentiment which is from Snow Swirled. The background was run through my cuttlebug snowflake folder.
Hoping all of you are having a wonderful week.

This really is a beautiful Card Debbie - I love the stamp you've used and the way you've ruched your ribbon. How do you work with glitter Im hopeless end up with more on me and a card that just looks a mess!!
Love your take on White Christmas... Its tricky minimising the colours to use isnt it? Love that snowflake folder. Guess I might be working on Christmas things next week.
...and I think next time I photograph something white and textured, I'll have to get more shadow. Your picture is really clear.
A simpley stunning card Debbie, just gorgeous!

Debbie, I can't tell you how much I LOVE this card!! It oozes elegance, class and the subtlety of the MM colouring balances perfectly. AWESOME card.
Lovely card Debbie, Very Elegant.
This is most definitely oozing elegance! I love every inch! And I did see the glitter by clicking on the picture, which enlarges. Don't you dare do that to my Cowgirl Ava card or you WILL see how I fudged up her face! LOL
Love the ribbon ruching (I never knew that word), too. So elegant.
I wish I had a bit of that cool here. Let's trade a bit of hot and cold and get it just right! LOL
I just went out to Target... it's nighttime and still in the mid-90's, plus now they've got lighting and thunder in the distance and it's starting to rain... it's monsoon weather, so it's getting humid. Fun!
Love and hugs my dear friend. It's good to finally start catching up!
