Here's my entry to this week's Less is More challenge which is for a white on white card. I'm not all that happy with it, firstly because although it was quite quick and easy to do it's not truly a CAS card and secondly because I feel it's crying out for some additional colour. Although I quite often make white on white cards it's very rare for me not to add some inking however the LIM ladies seem to be purists so I thought I'd better not bend the rules. I am happy with my flower which I made with my new toy, the Spellbinders Rose Creations die.
From time to time I get asked what card or paper I use to make my flowers. Generally I use the same card to make the flower as I use for the card itself. All the paper elements of this card are Creative Smooth White card which I buy in large uncut sheets from Craft Creations. It's 240gsm and is a lovely warm white. I use it whenever I'm not using digital scrapbook papers.
Lastly I would like to say I was very gratified to make the LIM showcase with my previous entry to the challenge.

Absolutely beautiful Julie! I love white on white cards and I love your flower too. Thanks for the tip about the card you use, I've been looking for a warm white card for ages, so many of them have that horrible blue tinge. Hope you're well :).
I absolutely love the flower - simply beautiful!
