Best Wishes

Hi and welcome to my blog!  Today's card is for the new challenge at Inspired By All The Little Things, where I'm the hostess this week.  Here's the photo I chose as inspiration:

I really liked the white-on-white text and the pretty flowers in diagonal corners so that's the direction I took with my card.

I was inspired by Therese Calvird who used these alpha dies with craft foam on a card, so went in the same direction.  After die-cutting in craft foam and white cardstock, I adhered the two together and set it aside while I worked on my card base.  I wanted to play along with the White-on-White Focal Point Altenew challenge, so I chose inks matching the challenge colors and starting stamping and masking with Vintage Roses stamp set.  I wanted to add some leaves but didn't want to add green, so I used a gray ink and I really like how it turned out.  

Once I'd finished stamping I die-cut the panel with a pierced frame die but didn't discard the outer edge, instead popping it onto the card base in an inlaid die-cut.  Then I realised I wanted some camouflaged die-cutting over the flowers, so I positioned my letters and then re-cut the letters that needed it from the card base.  I adhered the die-cut letters on top of the already-cut letters and you'd never know there are two layers of cardstock on some of them!

Finally, I finished the card with some clear sequins.
