Simon Says Stamp
I am a complete sucker for this style of card. It can be a little tricky with different "shades" of white but the overall effect is really quite stunning. I find that my most successful white on white cards are the simple ones, I can over complicate things if I don't stop myself. I used the Starlite Black ink instead of black as it would look a bit too harsh and that little hint of shimmer looks so elegant.

I hope to be back later today with a few more cards. It looks as though we will have an on-again, off-again rainy day, and with a sick daughter, I don't think we will be going anywhere.
