White on White with Parchment

This card is being entered into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge

I love the idea of white on white, so elegant, and being a Pergamano Tutor I thought it was a good opportunity to add some parching.

I started by a quick sketch to create a parchment pattern and then embossed it.

After embossing the design I coloured it lightly on the back with antique linen distress ink.

I embossed the white background mat using a Cuttlebug script embossing folder and again lightly distressed with Antique Linen.

The leaves were die cut with a Marianne Creatables Bird on a Branch die.

I finally added a bit of seam binding - it is so difficult not to alter this in any way -and a button was stitched on.

Hope you like.
