Hello there friends! Are you ever stuck picking colors? I am – all the time! Sometimes the selection of the design paper and card base take longer than it takes to make the card. If you’re paralyzed, stop, drop what you’re doing and try white on white. Layers with non-competing textures look fabulous in white and it’s always a classic card. I pulled some of my favorite dies with the goal to get the card done instead of spending so much time fine tuning – when that’s the game plan I know that a tone on tone card is the best bet.
The shaped card is made using Spellbinders Heirloom Rectangle – cutting with just the outline for the card base and cutting with outline, filigree and inner rim for the upper layer. Remember, to make a shaped card, you do not have to cut two full pieces at once, simply cut one layer with a fold at the top of 1″ being sure to seat the fold inside the cut lines in order to make a hinge – if you’re a visual crafter, I have a video on how to do that HERE. Next I stamped my Quietfire Design sentiment There Are Two Things We Can Give Our Children on to Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles. I finished off with a bow and embellished with Spellbinders Cinch and Go Flowers – these flowers are so versatile, I use them a lot. For these buds use only the two smallest sets of petals, cinch around a pearl on a wire and secure with glue on the pearl and after the first petal. For the leaves, cut two from Spellbinders Loopy Roll Flowers and pare down the leaf to the size you desire. They take about 2-3 minutes each.

All I can say is Great. I am in awe. Beautiful

What a gorgeous card. Love the saying you have put on the card.
White on white is the greatest! The black ink lettering makes it looks so classy too. Though no one likes being stuck trying to figure out patterns and colors it is comforting to know that even the most experienced have the same time consuming troubles putting it all together. Thanks for sharing that tidbit Becca!
That’s a keeper of a tip! Beautiful card.
Another amazing card from you, I had to take break during my busy day and saw this beautiful card and the sentiment is so true.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us. You made my day better.
VERY PRETTY BECCA!!! AND OH SO TRUE! ;) I will try this the next time I am stuck on picking a color for my cards, white on white. It IS STUNNING!!! ;)
This is a beautiful card, I love white on white cards. Christine S.
Monday morning just became special by this posting on your blog. This is card perfection! It’s a wonderful example of what you do so well-exquisite layering, lovely bows, beautiful hand-crafted flowers, expressing a heart-felt sentiment, rendered in beautiful and elegant calligraphy. A delight to the eyes.
Thank you for getting my week off to a beautiful start.
Love and blessings,
Sandy
Oh my, another Becca “beauty” so soon after the last one. You are definitely in a card making mood – me too! This tone on tone is lovely. I see you used white card stock this time. I now have your clinch and go flower die set. I must make the time to try my hand at flower making. Thanks for the video for making the flowers. Wishing you a beautiful week.
Oh my! This is so beautiful Becca, and I just LOVE the sentiment, you´ve used on here, it really says it all and is sooo true. The card is soooo gorgeous and sooo elegant, and is just sooo perfect in any way, I absolutely LOVE it.
Becca, you never disappoint. I have always loved WOW cards but this is something else! Really beautiful! Hugs Christine xx
Hi Becca, Just another beautiful card–classy and elegant. These two dies blend so well together with a touch of color in the flowers. I am much more comfortable with monochromatic color card, especially white since I don’t have an eye for mixing colors and patterns. Always a good safe place to start. Thanks for the encouragement and ideas. Barbara
Wow what a gorgeous card. I love using white on white it is simply a stunning card glad that you are back and bless you and the beautiful work that you do I wish I had the creative juice that you have You are one gifted person who is truly belssed
Wow…this is absolutely gorgeous Becca. Thank you for sharing!
A stunning card Becca…and oh such a true sentiment!
I also have trouble picking paper for my projects, pulling out many different colors and patterns till the right one strikes me.
Wow. So beautiful and elegant!! There is nothing fresher or prettier than white on white. Thank you for the inspiration!
Such a wonderful sentiment for our children, a beautiful card too.
Oh my dear Becca,
White on white is one of my very favorites! This is truly awesome. I will be buying the Radiant Rectangles at Scrapbook Expo and the rest I have. The sentiment is bodacious as well but then that is what we expect from YOU!! Thanks for 3 days in a row; you are spoiling us!!
Hugs to you girl,

I love tone on tone! One of my favorite sentiments on a gorgeous card!!
Oh Becca, I am loving this card. So pure and clean. Love the tone on tone.
Thank you Becca for your U Tube instructions on the hinged cards. Yours are so beautiful. I’m loving the cinch and go flowers. I even die cut some from the organza petals that you can get at Michaels. So simple and easy and beautiful. Just finished a raft of ladies shoe cards and noticed that one tiny area of the score line cut through. Must watch that next time. Perhaps my Designer Paper was too thin.
Hugs,
Sara
OHHHH, I just LOVE this card! Love that die, just wish it was an a2 size…cause thats what I do the most. Uggg..it’s just beautiful!! I love all white cards too, or mostly white, whith just a touch of color…especially for weddings, and this die would make a great wedding card die. Just BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Good morning Becca, wowza, wowza, wowza!!! White on white is simply Devine!!!
