WOW

Happy New Year!!!
Ok a few days behind...I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and a wonderful New Year's celebration!  We are getting back into the swing of things after our trip to MI to see family.  Of course, we were greeted so wonderfully by 3 feet of snow once we returned to Montreal on Monday at 9:30 pm :)  Burned off a few of those holiday calories shoveling out our parking space!

Now it's time to head back to work and calm down from the holiday craziness.  We start that off with a new challenge at Digi Makeover and it's perfect as it matches the scene outside my windows!  We are challenging you to a white on white project!

I've seen some absolutely gorgeous white on white projects while browsing the blog world, but I can never seem to make one that stuns me as well...but I tried anyways and I must say that this card, I Love!
There is a small amount of color in the images...I used the cute little monster Baby Horatio and cut him out with one of my new spellbinders dies!  I thought the shape fit him perfectly!  Before I removed the cut out from the template, I used a little bit of light blue chalk around the edges.  Can't really see it in the pic.  I also colored some light blue detailing on the cloud, his spots and horns.

I embossed the background with my Swiss Dots folder and cut out the corners with another new MS punch :)  I love those hearts!

Of course, this is a new card style for me.  I don't think I've ever really made an easel card.  I've been trying to think of different styles I could start doing to make my cards a little more unique and decided to give the easel a try this time, and I love it!  Of course, there isn't very much weight on the top of the card so it just sort of floats there instead of being pushed down...but it's still awesome!

I trimmed out a few flags to put under the image and used my Lacy Edge Punch on the bottom of the top panel.  There are a few liquid pearls around the sentiment and down the sides.  And then of course the glitter!  Again...hard to see in the pic, but there is a lot of it!  Around the image frame, the cloud, the flags, the sentiment, the hearts, and the inside panel!  Love my glitter and on a white card, it looks fabulous!!
After I finished the card, my dear hubby suggested making the sentiment say Sweet Little Monster :)  I'll have to remember that next time!

Be sure to join us this week!  And don't forget to check out the rest of the Makeup Artists creations, they are fabulous!
