White out...almost!

I wanted to make a very white card that relied heavily on dry embossing and I was able to do that with my Cuttlebug embossing folders and my Spellbinder dies. At first I wanted to white emboss the scripture, but when I added it to the card it didn't look quite right. Then I stamped it in black and it looked too plain. Then the words "EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL" jumped out at me and I just cut them out and popped them up.

I was able to work it into this week's Mojo85 sketch:

and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. And LOOK! No stitching!

Card Recipe:

Stamp: ODBD Scripture Collection 1

Ink: Versafine Onyx, Versamark

Paper: SU Whisper White cs, column cs

Supplies: Spellbinders Timeless Heritage and Flourish Accents dies, Cuttlebug Textile, Swiss Dots and Birds & Swirls embossing folders, white ep, Martha Stewart pearl, ball chain, Fiskars Apron Lace border punch, SU Crystal Effects (to keep ball chain in place)
