Mum

I've been wanting to try white on white for some time, so with a few challenges requesting monochromatic this week, & then Totally Papercrafts going with 'white on white' I thought this is the week to do it!

I had an idea in my head of a window in a card, to partially display a verse, surrounded by pretty flowers. Now normally I have visions of something I want to create, & they never turn out how I want, or imagined. But for once this one pretty much turned out how I wanted it too.

Firstly I made a square card from white hammered card. I then cut a window using my nestabilities labels one die. On the bit left over I printed the following verse;

This wish for you Mother
is straight from the heart.
With more special meaning
than words can impart...
May your day hold pleasures
that you're fondest of...

And remember each day
you're thought of with love.

I then stuck this down on the inside of the card so it could be seen from the front, & then read when opened.

Some time ago I saw somebody make a beautiful flower using the Nestabilities Blossom 2 die. (unfortunately I've misplaced the source details for this) So I thought I'd give it ago. This is achieved by cutting 4 different size blossom shapes. Then cutting down the side of each inlet to form more of a petal. This allows you to shape the flower. 

Curl the petals, and adhere all the layers together. I added glitter to the edges of the petals & a gem to the middle. I then finished off the flowers with the leaves from Marianne Creatables English Rose die.

I then cut a few swirls with the Sizzix Tim Holtz Elegant Flourishes die, the word Mum from the Sizzix Sizzlits Alphabet ' Girls are weird' set. And made a ribbon flower using the Marianne Creatables Ribbon flower die, and threading through some pretty iridescent ribbon.

These were all then placed around the window in the card.

I made a co-ordinating box from white hammered card, and decorated it with the Scalloped oval die from spellbinders nestabilities, a couple of flourishes using the Joy Crafts floral flourish die, Girls are Weird font again and some more glitter.
