White on White

I've never tried just white on white before, and I must say I really enjoyed myself playing with different dies and textures.  In the end I settled on swiss dots embossing and fleur de lis squares.

Stamps: Verve Stamps love story
Ink: Archival ink jet black
Accessories: Cuttlebug, Spellbinders fleur de lis squares and swiss dots embossing folder, clear embossing powder, versamark and satin ribbon.

I'm playing along with
Totally Papercrafts - white on white
Allsorts - black and white
but as I'm late posting this I'm out of time for both - oh well, I did enjoy making this card and for me that's the main thing :)
