Cant wait to see what you doand, as always, try to keep it simple.Most importantly have fun!!!
I found this lovely card in the SCS Gallery, done by Becki, queenoe on SCS. Here it is onBecki’s Blog, Rocky Road Forever. Check it out and leave her a comment — it’s worthy of many!!! This card was the inspiration for today’s challenge. Thank you, Becki!!!

What a fabulous Stamp Simply Team!!! Thank you girls!!! Much appreciated!!!
And heres my card:
This is made using SU’s Always and Garden Silhouettes — not much stamping, mostly just working with paper, and I diduse all scraps or recycled paper for this card so it qualifies for Julia’s Ways to Use It Challenge on SCS this morning to make a scrappy card, using scraps and in the scrappy style if desired. My bird was stamped onto the back side of another previously stamped image, and my embossed sheet was cut from another project gone awry! Can you see the little button I made in the center of the flower:
I ran a small scrap through the Cuttlebug with the textile embossing folder, then I punched two holes for the button holes with the double hole punch by SU, then I punched it out with a 3/4″ punch, and there’s my button! I ran the light blue organdy through the holes, ran the tag through the ribbon as well, knotted, and done!!!

So pretty and the blue is perfect Sharon. Looks like I need to break out the stamps… oh wait they are out. bawhahah.. Sorry.. :0)
Beautifully done, as always! We were really on the same wavelength! Mine will be up in a little bit! 🙂
Gorgeous Sharon! I love the little black feet on the bird, too cute!
Oh! This is SO PRETTY!!! Love the “button”, especially! What a fabulous idea! The white on white is lovely, indeed!!
Hi Sharon:) Your card is beautiful! I absolutely love the white on white!! I have been out of the country for a few weeks and have not had a chance to stamp, so I am dying to get back into to it and your challenge is definitely the one to get me going!! I will see what I can come up with in the morning!
Sharon, thanks for posting early tonight.. I fell in love with your wonderful card… hope you don’t mind.. I just had to make one..
I changed it just a little to not be a total copy cat..
white on white is always so classic..
Here’s my card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1003343?cat=500&ppuser=42410

Lovely and so white and pure. This SU bird never looked prettier. I just got Papertrey’s Select White CS (110#) as recommended by Laura (scrapnextra). It is the heaviest white I have seen and perfect for a card base. Thanks again Sharon for the beautiful inspiration.
Your card is quite beautiful! I’ve never tried white on white before, so this will be a real challenge for me – I look forward to it! Thanks!
Beautiful Sharon and your decision about Flourishes could not have been an easy one but you have to do what is right for you and your family.
Have a great weekend.
I love that big flower — and the button treatment. I’m glad you said we could use a touch of pastel on the white on white — hope I didn’t add TOO much on this card — http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1003447?cat=500&ppuser=72594 It’s actually white on pink on white. LOL!!!
This is another lovely card Sharon. The big, lovely flower is perfect. I’ve been wanting to make a white on white card since you posted one near the end of June. You are such an inspiration!
Beautiful card as always. Sorry you will not be a part of Flourishes team but I will be back here looking at all your gorgeous cards. Absolutely stunning work that never ceases to amaze me. Julie and I had ESP as we both did chalking without even knowing it. My card is simple and took just a few minutes. Pat

This was a great challenge for me this week. I needed a wedding card and for some reason, have very few wedding sets. I used a dollar stamp from Michaels and this is what I ended up with:http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1004033?cat=500&ppuser=113844. Thanks for getting my mojo going!
Fabulous card! I love the look of the blue bird that stands out so great against the white! Great job. TFS

Well, I’ve played so long I hate it now, but since you’ve already seen it, I’ll upload it. Much more color than most of the cards and way too dark in the picture. Thanks so much for being part of the stamping week-end. It was fun to have you there.

After many tries I finally finished my card. This was the most difficult challenge for me as I rarely use all white. I’m still not thrilled with the results, but it’s the best I can do……this time 🙂 Thanks for the challenge Sharon, it’s always fun to experiment and think outside the box!
Here’s my card:

Thanks for another winner!!
Sharon –
Although I didn’t actually participate in the challenge – I wanted you to know that I LOVED Tammy’s card so much, I scraplifted it!
Here’s mine – almost exact!

Thanks to both of you for the inspiration!

I made this in early July, inspired by one of your earlier white-on-white cards as well as an Easter card by Debbie Olson. You can find it on my blog at http://debrymer.typepad.com/my_muse/2008/07/what-god-has-jo.html
