Hello.
We're midway in our current 'White On White' challenge at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog. It's Team B's turn to post our cards/projects as a midway reminder--Team A posted theirs last week. Visit the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog for complete details on the challenge and how you can join in the fun. And have a look at what my DT teammates have created to inspire you.
I love making white-on-white cards--it's another favorite style of mine...hmm, I have many faves! One reason is because I don't have to spend time searching for co-ordinating paper for a colour scheme...ha ha--it takes me forever to do this. And all those whites make the coloured images you're featuring pop out.
Tutorial on the pine cones you can find HERE.
Here are close-ups of the Magnolia images I've used:
- Tilda on the Roof from the A Christmas Story Collection 2012
- Mini A Joyful Tilda from the Winter Wonderland Collection 2013
- Mini Show The Way Baby Rudolph from the Winter Wonderland Collection 2013
- Old Swedish Church from the A Christmas Story Collection 2012
I used this image to help me create the background scene.
Magnolia stamps are available from Magnolia-licious, Diana's on-line store where she carries a large selection of both full-size and mini Magnolia stamps. And if you don't see the particular one you are looking for, ask Diana if she can bring it in for you.

I think white on white is a difficult challenge, but I agree with you that it does save having to look for coordinating paper (at which I struggle). Anyway, this is gorgeous and you created so much texture and interest that it almost doesn't even look like it is all white. Those pinecones are fabulous; they look almost real. Thanks for playing with CSAYL. Sorry I'm so late in commenting.
ReplyDeletec'est une magnifique création Norma, cette scène toute de blanc vêtu et ces touches de couleurs, c'est très beau, merci de jouer avec nous chez CSAYL, biz
