I Can't Do White

 I challenged myself to create something in low-color, specifically in shades of white.  I see it done!  I like it!!! Surely I can do it myself if I put my mind to it?  Well, I can't.  I failed. I looked for interesting papers, but, really, what is interesting about white papers?  So I whitewashed the papers I chose, using a smear of cream acrylic paint.  I added texture with a Spellbinders strip die and a border punch, a cute circle sticker in the middle of a crepe paper medallion. 

 I followed along with a design from Alpha Stamps using a note card envelope as the base.  I used a shell themed cocktail napkin I've had for years as the background paper, then mostly papers from Graphic 45 for the images.   

It's cute and it was fun to make.  I want to make a French themed one, too, as Caroline Ouzts-Hay did for Alpha Stamps.
