All White Plus Coloured Image!

Hello everyone! so yesterday was my first official start back at work since having my injury..it wasn't too bad, quite sore though after being on my feet and my back was hurting by the time I made it home, but hoping that in time and with continual massages I will be starting to feel good again...lets hope!

Now before I start my afternoon duties I had better share today's card with you all, and with it being Wednesday, it is time for the new challenge to begin over at....

Photobucket


The theme for this week's challenge is to create a card all white with a coloured image...the DT gals are using white with a Magnolia coloured stamps...now I do have to say and I know that there are a lot of you out there that truly adore these stamps...but I struggle to do so..maybe it is the fact that they don't have a mouth on them, I really don't know why? You either like them or you don't, who knows maybe the more I create with them, maybe I will too begin to enjoy them, whilst they are cute they are not really my cuppa tea...so with that being said, I used the only Magnolia stamp that I posses and created a card for this week...

Lots of white card stock, layering, white embossing with the Flourish background stamp from Hero Arts, punched piece of card stock, white string and coloured Magnolia with sentiment completed my card.

Here is a close up view of the card...

Dawn said...

ADORABLE.... what more can I say Joy. This one is just so cute. I love Tilda... just ordered two more. This makes me want to make a white card right now, but it is time to head off to bed...

Well for not being your "cuppa tea" you've done a beautiful job, Joy! The background is gorgeous and I love the white on white personally. These stamps remind me of some other drawings from years earlier by a woman who drew all her children with no mouths. I can't remember her name but, she was very popular, it's bugging me. I'll have to do a search to figure it out now! Anyway, have a lovely day or night as the case may be. Glad to hear you're mending well. I'm praying for you to recover completely!

such a darling card, love your shading and colouring on this little gal :) The added soft textured background is a beautiful touch! Have a great day Joy :)

Hi Joy, I feel totally the same way! I just want these images to have more of a face! They would be so much cuter, in my opinion. You really have colored this one beautifully though! Wonderful card!

Such a beautiful card joy! I am with you, I think these girls look a little funny without a mouth and I would be tempted to draw one on! They do look lovely on cards though and I cant wait to have a go at the challenge this week. Hope you are feeling better and have a great week x x

It's a lovely card; as others have said, you did wonderfully even though it is not your "cuppa". Thought I was the only one who wasn't enamored of these girls; I know they are immensely popular. Love visiting your blog...thanks for sharing your talent.
May you mend quickly.

I'm with you Joy. I have not done any Magnolia stamps. I have seen some really cute ones, but not having a mouth really turns me off. I have considered drawing one in but my drawing skills are not that great. You did a great job with yours by the way! I love your card, especially the white embossed background.
