Not quite WOW!

Well I had in my mind to do a WOW card, that's white on white. I have always admired them and wanted to have a go myself. Not as easy as it looks, I just wasn't brave enough to go the whole hog. So I decided to go with white and the palest pink I could find.
I did enjoy doing it once I had made that decision and it came together much easier. I have used the sketch from Sketch Saturday. Another great sketch from the girls over on their challenge blog.


  The Sketch



I was going to also enter into the WOC challenge, as this is white and another colour. But I realised everything was made either by embossing or diecutting. You have to include at least one product from them.
So Tilda was coloured with Copics, the pale colours of course! All the paper shapes were embossed using a selection of embossing folder and my cuttlebug. The little flower are punched and shaped using an embossing tool. I finished them off with a tiny pearlised gem. I did the same thing with the little butterfly. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.
I think this would make a lovely wedding card if I use any of the Tilda's from those gorgeous wedding collection.
