All White?

Happy Tuesday,

Todays card has a little story to it Im afraid!  When I was at the craft shop with Wendy last week I mentioned to the owner, when I was buying a new die, that it probably would get cut once then discarded for a few months till it hit my radar.  That is exactly what happened with this Spellbinders Adorning  Squares die.

Although I made a couple of projects using it last summer I didn't really use it that much however it hasn't been off my craft desk this weekend. 

In this card I have used it to create a Filigree card base, the square base small however, IMHO, it creates a really sweet card.






The base is Spellbinders Adorning Squares decorated with layers of Gold Circles one and classic circles dies.  The flowers are an old Marianne flower die which I shaped, layered and centred with a pearl the Ivy is again Marianne and is shaped using a ball tool to make it twist around the embossed circles.











The sentiment is from Waltzing Mouseand is to encourage you all to Try it!

Enjoy...

    Pretty card, but then it isn't easy to make an ugly one with SP dies, is it. Love the flowers, they remind me of primroses. I'm with Jenny on white on white - not for every card, but it really brings out all the textures.
