This month, the challenge was white on white. Here is the photo:
I die cut 30 white hearts using the middle size die from Heart Prints, and adhered them to my card base. Then, I cut 7 more hearts, ran them through a variety of Impression Plates (Picnic Plaid, Aida, Woodgrain) and popped them up randomly. I took one more heart, stamped in red with the word 'Love' from Mixed Messages, and then coated that heart with a few layers of UTEE. The UTEE turned the white a bit more cream, which makes it stand out even more. I am very happy with the result, which is my first Valentine card of this season.
Enjoy the rest of the hop.
Thanks for Visiting
Very cute! I've never worked with UTEE, and didn't realize it would change the color of your cardstock a bit - but it works perfectly here! Happy holidays!
