The team over at Papertrey Ink have worked hard to create a day of crafting challenges and inspiration. The first was a bridal challenge using white supplies. I loved the idea of a monochromatic card and kept mine super simple.
I took the Twist cover plate and embossed the background of a 110lb white piece of Recollections card stock. I then die cut 'love' using one of the Wet Paint dies four times and layered them one on top of each other for dimension.
I temporarily glued this to a piece of scrap paper and added Glossy Accents and then a healthy sprinkling of Ranger Rock Candy glitter.
I decided to try another technique using some Versamark ink and Perfect Pearls powder in the shimmery silvery colour Perfect Pearl. Confusing, right? ;)
I repeatedly stamped one of the vases from Gracious Vases and then added the powder over top. (You'll notice they're not even since I couldn't see where I was stamping due to the clear nature of the ink ... let's just pretend that I did it that way on purpose!) I cut a strip of striped vellum and adhered a white Circle Scribbles die cut over top ... super simple and monochromatic.
Above you can see a peek of the inside of the card - I used Betsy Veldman's trick of an added pop of colour with a aqua mist card base. Love this idea but always forget about it!I love the shimmer of Perfect Pearls but it is so hard to capture, especially when the sun is not out! We have needed rain for a while on the West Coast due to the drought and forest fires but it is not ideal for good pictures with lots of natural light! :)
So what have you created so far? Are you enjoying the festivities?

Great cards! I especially love the Twist cover plate and the dimension of the layered love word.
