I've never made a stamp-less card before, never mind one totally in white. But what a blast. I really enjoyed doing this and it all just seemed to flow quite easily.
So I started with white cardstock for the card base. Then I texturized the background (with an argyle pattern) and then textured some white cardstock with dots and cut the flower from it. I assembled the flower, reversing the middle ring of petals so the dots went downward not up. I think it helped make the flower rings stand out from each other a bit. Before I attached the flower I put down 2 rows of thin white lace, attaching them in opposite directions to make them into 1 thick lace row with the little lace hearts pointing in the up and down directions. At the top I attached 3 die cut butterflies cut from white cardstock that I did not texturized, and to those I added some clear Viva glass effects to make their bodies and antennae.
I only wish I had some textures or words so I could have added those in white, but I don't think it really needs that. It just would have been nice, that's all.
Thanks for stopping by and looking.

Good mornining from Greece.
Thanks for visiting my blog and your lovely comments. Your card is fantastic , love the embossing and that flower is gorgeous plus the addition of the butterflies , I like the fact that you didn't texturize them. It didn't need anything else it's perfect.
