WOYWW 196

Hello everyone,
I hope today finds you well and happy as can be.
I have a very messy (for me) desk to share today.
The card is an experiment in WOW or white on white.
I have been seeing them about and always fancied trying it but was scared of the blank space!!
I used pearl paper and slightly textured white card.
I embossed one piece of each for contrast and did the same with the flourish die.
I put onto a card blank formed into a twisted easel.
The sentiment is from LOTV.
Plans for this week - going to try making an Easter/spring wreath.
Progress report next week.


Why am I shaming my filth publicly - it's all Julia at  The Stamping Ground's fault -feel free to come visit and join in the fun.
I am now going to tidy up and clean my desk before starting my wrsath.

    This is SO lovely! LOve all the textures,there's so much to look at so it's certainly not a 'plain' card at all. Just elegant. Your lacy butterfly & off the card flourish draw the eye in too. Great card. Can't wait to see your Easter wreath. I'm debating on WOYWW...I'm behind again on visiting, so I need to play catchup again. Too much going on for this ole Carolina lady...I'm Slooowwww! TFS & hugs.

    Your card is really beautiful Alison. I love the papers and all the textures and elements you added. You did a beautiful job with it! I'm also so glad to hear things went well at the hospital.

    Wow is the right word for that card, it's really lovely. We might have to try one ourselves as we seem to be in a card making phase right now.

    Love from the bears @#80 this week we think!

    oh my goodness I love this WOW card and can't believe this is your first go at it. The textured and layers makes this card stunning and really shows how wonderful white on white is for showing detail. If I had a gold star to give out you would be getting it today as I love everything about this card
    Have a great WOYWW thank you for sharing your workspace today

    OMG Alison, this card is absolutely beautiful! WOW certainly works for you. I might have to try this now I have seen an example I don't hate :) Thanks for swinging by and giving me an update on your Dad - hope it all works out well. My Dad has been diagnosed as a low-level diabetic, but won't take his tablets...Fathers! Looking forward to seeing the wreath - will it be similar to the Christmas one that you showed? Happy WOYWW.

    Beautiful card, Alison, and no blank space anywhere. I love all the texture you incorporated into the design and I like a wordy topper too - I have a few of LOTV sentiment stamps too. Now, what's this about a messy desk - looks oh so tidy to me :) Hope you've had a good WOYWW. Elizabeth x #26

    That is just so pretty so different. there is so much work involved in that one. Thank you for your visit this week. I was early logging on but late in visiting too as other things got in the way yesterday. My hidden project will, sadly, not be seen until April, as it is DT work for Craft A Scene. Hope you have a good week. xx Maggie #37

    Gorgeous card! I've done w-o-w needlework but never thought of doing a card! Will this be a hand-delivered? I'd be afraid to trust the post to anything so beautiful and delicate. Creative Blessings! Kelly #156
