Once again, I'm playing along with Papertrey Ink's monthly blog hop. This month's challenge was White & White.
I was inspired by Iwona Palamountain's Sketchbook Saturday Challenge #86 to create my first card, using my favourite PTI white cardstock (rustic white), PTI stamps (lovely layers, movers & shakers sentiments) and dies (lovely layers, half & half, heart border).
Since I couldn't add colour, I decided to add a lot of texture, with layers, stitching and my PTI linen & canvas impression plate.
For my second card, I decided to break out my new PTI shape-up sweater die and coordinating stamp sets.
I used PTI rustic white cardstock & stamps (purls of wisdom, knit bits, fillable frames #9). Again, I wanted to add texture, so I stitched on my card and heat embossed the knit pattern with white embossing powder. I layered the front diecut over a piece of Offray ribbon, stitched the ribbon in place and then stitched four buttons over top.
Thanks for looking!

That gray looks incredible on your white card!! Such a different look than the typical black. And your brad looks like something I would hoard for several years before using : ) Love your whites, Leigh!

Both cards are a nice use of white-on-white but I love how the whole focal point on your first one runs the middle of the card. Very elegant looking.
