29 days to go - and a completed challenge

Margaret A - thank you, and well done.  My random number selector picked you.  Margaret challenged me to use white on white on white.  I really love this challenge.  I didn't want to use dies, as I know I would end up with a card similar to a Sue Wilson design, as when I think of a card with predominately one colour, I always think of Sue's work.

Instead, I decided to do a little bit of paper cutting.  This will definitely not be as intricate and skilled as Paperpanda, or the like.  I want to get it done this evening, and my craft knife isn't up to much (what kind of crafter am I).

I decided the first white would be the paper.  I went for approx 180gsm.  Not too heavy, but not flimsy either.  I decided, as it will be sent out to Margaret, I wanted to pop it in a frame, so my second white will be the frame.  The last is another piece of card, which this time I embossed.  I did add a little bit of glitter - which should have been white, but actually has a little touch of blue in.  I hope this isn't cheating - but it does look rather nice.

You'll giggle when you see the sketch I did to plan, look at this for detailed:

Yep, that was my incredible plan!  I then drew some sketchy waves, to give me a little guidance as to where I needed to cut

I layered one on top of the other, so each wave was mat and layered

As usual, I like to build up my image in situ, so I can keep an eye on the composition, and tweak where necessary

I cut my little sailing ship, which I was quite happy with actually

I then embossed my background, and started gluing everything in place.  The frame does have an inner frame, which means I would looks about 5mm around the full image.  I did try and trim the cloud so it would fit perfectly within this inner frame, but didn't like the end result.  Instead, I decided to cut the elements to fit the base, and then squashed them in place with the inner frame.  I did use 3D foam to give my waves extra depth

And finanlly, the glitter.  All the glitter.  I feel I may varnish it tomorrow, I'll see what it looks like in the morning.  If you would like to email me your address please Margaret, so I can get your little sailing boat in the post for you.  My email address is: leoniepujol@hotmail.co.uk

Thank you, again, everyone for joining in.  I really love reading your idea's, and even if I don't manage to use them for the challenge, it does give me inspiration for future projects.
