Jacksonbelle Tuesday ~ A White on White Challenge!!!

Good Morning!
We have a fun challenge for you today!  If you haven't tried this, you really have to!  I never would have thought to layer white on top of white but what a beautiful effect it has!  I was totally inspired by THIS card of Denise's.  It is SO pretty!  My card actually has more color than I initially wanted.  I will definitely make another card using this technique and TRY to follow the instructions better!!! LOL!!!  I was on the phone with my friend Trudy last night while finishing my card and I was telling her that my card today didn't EXACTLY follow the challenge and she said that I NEVER can follow instructions!!! LOL!!!  I know huh!?!?!  This one is close though, ok....maybe not!!!! LOL!!!!
The base of this card is Whisper White and is 4" square.  I added a white mat that I ran through my Cuttlebug using my Birds and Swirls embossing folder.  The VERY SMALL SQUARE of beautiful blue paper is by Basic Grey and is from their Marrakech collection.  I matted this VERY SMALL piece with a VERY SMALL piece of Basic Black CS.  The black satin ribbon is from May Arts and was ran over the white scalloped oval which I also ran through the Cuttlebug using the Birds and Swirls folder and then cut it out using my oval Nesties.  I stamped the darling Inkadinkado image called Duet on Whisper White CS using Basic Black ink and then cut it out using my oval Nesties.  I colored the birds and branches using my Prismacolor Pencils and colored the flowers using Pink Shimmerz, added black Kaiser rhinestones and then added Candle Light Shimmerz to the birds bodies.

Do you want to play along???  If so, when you post on SCS, be sure to include the keyword JBE048 or you can link your card on the Jbelle Blog HERE!  Need more inspiration from people who can follow directions??? LOL!!!  Be sure to check out the girls blogs below ~
