a whiter shade of pale..

well hey there blog friends and thanks so much for stopping by..
here is a make and not a tag!
 that's two days and no tag!
there is some ..rock candy loose glitter though...
so here is my make today:
 
 
well as i know own a stampsmith stamp...
hope to add more to my stash soon!!!
 
(selling some stash here to pay for them..
fungers crossed!!!)
 
i wanted to enter their challenge white on white..
i started by covering the canvas board in tissue wrap
and covered it in a thick layer of gesso..
to create texture.
 
the edges were embossed with white frantage.
i added lace
flowers..painted white
and
yes you have guessed glittered!! with rock candy distress loose glitter..
did i say i LoVE this!!?
 
 
dream was cut,
lightly coloured with antique linen..just to lift if from background
and triple embossed.
 
 
the image..gorgeous isn't she
was stamped in black archival
on card with a slight coating..i love her...
i did scuff the edges with a tonic tool
 
 
and finally some snowflake die cuts
with little wooden stars..
painted white
and liquid pearls centres..
 
i loved making this and had a ball.
 
 
i am entering this for the following competitions:
 

p.s i have some stash for sale here if you are interested!

 
have a fun and inky day!

  6. White on White suits her to perfection to create a dreamy feeling, she does have such a wistful look in her eyes. Beautiful texture achieved and of course that dash of sparkle.
    Thank you for sharing with us at TSC and good luck with the prize draw. You never know, you might just be adding to your Stampsmith stamps :)
