It's all white now….and it's harder than it sounds!

So while I was checking out the challenges this month on the

Flying Unicorn Forum

I came across one hosted by Denise called

It's all white now.

Ok

My interest is peaked.

The rules:

 Your layout must be all white. Off white is ok and so is ivory but no color!
 You must use a black and white or sepia photo. No color pictures.
 You must use a stencil
 Must use Gesso, molding paste, or white paint.
 Must have at least 7 flowers.
Must have at least 1 embellie

I knew no matter what other challenges I did this month I HAD

to do this one.

It really is a challenge!

First off I had to find some white paper. 

Seeing as I apparently have used every piece of printed white paper I created my own background design on a piece of Bazzill Basics.

Using a large crackle stamp by Impression Obsession and white

embossing powder I created an all over background pattern.

My 7 flowers were a combination of fabric ones cut off a strip of tulle

and some Petaloo ones. 

The center beads were gold and I repainted them White with 

High Impact paint from Tattered Angels.

Modeling Paste through a Club Scrap stencil.

I heated it with my heat gun to get a bubbly sort of grunge effect to go with my photo.

You can see the embossing really well in this shot too.

The Moments title is a clear Prima sticker.

more embossing and paste.

You can also see where I melted the edges of my photo in spots,

started as an accident but was a happy one.

The melted edges so fit the photo.

Lace was layered under the photo 

and 2 stick pins were added as embellishments.

And this is my all white layout.

It was most definitely a challenge once I got going.

This girl needs color!

Make sure to check out the challenge thread 

and see how others are going all white.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
