Less is more Week 14 White on White

Well here I am, definitely earlier than last week, when I made my card just before going to the theatre and 3 hours before the deadline. When I got back and saw I had 2 comments I thought it was Lady and Diva Lim but it was 2 of my lovely followers and there was no chance of any more because I forgot to link it to the Lim blog. Here's hoping I remember this week!!!
Well the challenge is White on White and the entries are beautiful!
I chose a white card, obviously, and decided to make an envelope card. I embossed the flap and attached it to the tent card which I had embossed with dots in the cuttlebug. I made a large flower from some diecuts that Jacki had given me and glittered them and added a pearl brad in the centre.I added a ribbon across the top and some pearls and cut out some letters in my cuttlebug and attached them under the knot.
I hardly commented on anyone's cards last week for which I apologise and we are off to the South of France on Wednesday for 2 weeks so this is my last posting for a while. We have internet access but I am not packing any crafty bits! It will just be me, a book, a glass of wine and the POOL! Oh and my OH :)
Thanks for looking :)
