I'm submitting this card to Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog - MLCCB#30 where it's Anything Christmas goes.

I find White on White a real challenge, but then that's why we do this!! For me, it's important that there are lots of different textures on this type of card. I started by embossing a piece of white card with some lovely big snowflakes (it's been ages since I've used my embossing folders). Next, I stamped the large magnolia wreath in Versamark on white card and heat embossed with white powder. I stamped the next layer in Versamark and heat embossed with kaleidoscope embossing powder for some sparkle. I used the matching die to cut out the wreath. In the stamp set there is a leaf branch which I stamped four times in Versamark, embossed two with white powder and two with kaleidoscope powder. I used the matching die to cut out these leaves. I adhered these branches to the wreath, wrapped some white ribbon round the wreath and attached it to the embossed panel. I then adhered the whole panel to the front of a card. I cut lots of little branches and berries from white gloss card and added them to the wreath. I finished the front by stamping the greeting in bold black, heat embossing with clear powder and fussy cutting the sentiments out. I used dimensional pads to attach them to the front of the card. On the inside, I cut a white panel and added a Christmas greeting. I also stamped the leaf branch in soft green and added some red berries.

I'm really pleased how this turned out. I don't think I'll be mailing this card though, there is quite a bit of dimension, so this will be hand delivered!
