White On White Blog Hop

 This month Lorby's World of Hops has challenged this talented crafters by asking them to create something that is white on white with a touch of color. I know you will be as pleasantly surprised to see what they have come up with. There is so much talent here that I know they have risen to the occasion and have some wonderful projects to share.

So please begin at Lorby's World http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com since she is our hostess and has a give away going on with this hop. She has all the details on her blog.

Our guest hostess is Tee  http://tee-myspot.blogspot.com/2013/05/white-on-white.html  and she is offering a give away from The Cutting Cafe who is our sponsor this month.

Please visit The Cutting Cafe  http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/ to see all their beautiful printable and cutting files.

Now let's begin this hop. Here is my project to share.

Cartridges used CTMH Artist and Art Philosophy, Kate's ABC's and Lacy Labels. 

The center mat was cut from Lacy Labels  twice 

One at 4 inches and embossed with Victorian cuttlebug folder  and the second at 3.5 inches.

The butterflies and their layers were cut from Kate's ABC's at 2 inches  I used the Swiss dot folder on the wing first wing layer and used the deboss side, the top wing layer and the body are covered with "Diamond" stickles.The roses were cut from CTMH Art Philosophy at 2 ", 1.5" and 1.25" the tips of the petals have a smidge of the "diamond" stickles.

The leaves were cut from the CTMH artist cartridge twice at !.25'

The swirl on top of the leaves was cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge at 1" and Diamond stickled as well.

The card measures 5" and the base mat is 46/8 " embossed with a folder I don't know the name of . I edged everything with a hint of silver ink from Martha Stewart.

The sentiment is from a set by "My creative Time" 

Thank you for stopping by today and your next stop to visit is Anita and Bugs.  Hope you have enjoyed your tour and have been inspired to create a "White on White " piece of your own.

For my first holiday I chose 'Nurses Day' only because I've spent the last 48 years doing just that!

The image I found last year it is called 'candy striper' by A Fenton I colored it with my colored pencils. The back ground paper I found on the internet just today and id from "paper bicycle Featured Friend"

All the other paper is from my scraps been trying to use those as much as I can.

My second holiday is 'Memorial Day' I have many fond memories of that day when I was a child. 

The image is from TLC creation "Vintage American Soldier" the sentiment is a quote from Lee greenwood song
