Here’s a little card that came together over the last two evenings … yep, had a sleep break in between times!
I started by embossing a card panel using my only NBUS EF (there are five BUS ones in my extensive collection!). I really liked the white on white so limited additions to a touch of this and that … Wink of Stella and gems on the blooms, Tumbled Glass DI and Wink of Stella on the hearts, and some PTI stripes along the bottom to ground the image. The sentiment’s from Annabelle Stamps (hello) and Avery Elle (my friend). The panel’s mounted flat on the card base. You can see some of the shimmer if you look closely … here it’s glistening it’s socks off!
I was inspired by these challenges …
Darnell’s 500+ followers NBUS Challenge (Friendship) … my third time joining in … if you haven’t played along yet there are still a couple of days left … you REALLY don’t want to miss out! (My NBUS was the EF)
Taheerah’s Cure For The Monday Blues (Geometric Generation) … see below for the amazing inspiration picture. This is only the second time I’ve played along … and this is challenge 22! I focused on the two suitcases under the table for my colours and for the stripes … and kept the open, uncluttered look using the white on white embossing.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday (You Gotta Have Friends) … the sentiment.
Simon Says Stamp Monday (I Ought To use This More) … the EF … there are so many possibilities … if only I had the free time!
I’m taking a trip round the blogsphere next, so may see you there! Thanks so much for coming by, your visits and comments are always a joy! Anita 🙂

This is such a sweet little card Antia! I love that EF, I’ve got this thing for dandelion fuzzy’s. lol I love those heart stems too! You sentiment is just perfect and I love the touch of design paper and of course who doesn’t love some bling?!! Hugs, Brenda
fabulous card. I love the embossing folder.
Another fantastic combination of challenges! I love the pink stripey ground and all the little details that make this sweet card so adorable!
Anita way to use the dry embossing! Adding the rhinestones to the flowers is brilliant! LOVE!
I love this card! You added the perfect details, the “grounding”, rhinestones and hearts, plus the Wink of Stella. I want to use many of these ideas, starting with the ef. What is the brand, please?
Hi Char, thanks so much! The EF is called Dandelion Whisper and is from Craft Concepts (10.5 x 14.5 cm). Hope this helps! Anita 🙂
Thank you for replying! I just made my first international order, and found several other items to buy with it. Of course. 🙂
I’ve not seen that ef but what a darling card you made with it. I love that you used bling in the middle of the flowers.
Oh my Anita !!! This is such a beauty, I can keep looking at this one forever, gorgeous, simply stunning and all the synonyms and adjectives that are possible 🙂
Another winner, I bet! I love your pure white bejeweled dandelion puffs and those sweet heart posies standing on the pink stripey ground! Just delicious, Anita! Thank you so much for linking again with my NBUS Challenge and reposting the button!! Hugs, Darnell
Gorgeous card Anita, so elegant and pretty.
Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Absolutely stunning…and definitely another winner! You sure do know when to ‘step away from the card’ … compromising the glorious white on white with any more colors would definitely affected this stunning creation! The hearts rock! The pink lined border at the bottom totally anchors the vibrantly bejeweled flowers!
If this is what can be accomplished by actually sleeping, then I best get my pajamas on shortly and head off to bed!
Awesome card pal 🙂
The embossing on this card looks fabulous, Anita, love!!
Wow…what a wonderful embossing folder and your card is simply stunning. Love all the sweet jewels too, adds a bit of pizzazz to your already amazing card. Hope you are doing well, so sorry to be so far behind on commenting too.
Gorgeous card Anita – love the white on white embossing with the WoS making the flowers glitter.
Hugs.

Would you believe my current card has had about 4 ‘sleep’ nights… I was starting to give up but had an epiphany yesterday and think it can be saved, now just have to find the time lol. Your card looks very happy there for it’s little nap love the subtle texture!
Love your EF, Anita!!! The pink rhinestones are perfect as the centres of the flowers and the sweet little hearts are so cute!!!! …and I can see some of the shimmer and the pink at the bottom looks great!!! Lovely card!!!
your creativity never ceases to amaze me, anita… another stunning CAS design… you ROCK!!
I am so in love with white on white, Anita… just the perfect little accents on your beautiful card. Makes me wish for sequins… yes, I what is known as a ‘cheap date’ =]
What a crime not to use that embossing folder Anita – it’s so pretty and I love how you’ve blinged it up. I really must check out Darnell’s challenge – the amount of unused stuff I have is ridiculous!
You’ve done it again!! Just loving that white on white, its so crisp and clean and the embossing folder is incredible. Its brilliant that you held back and highlighted all the good bits. Its a perfect card!
Hi Anita!! Such a gorgeous card with your minimal coloring. The few colored accents really make it sing! Just lovely.
Sweet!! I am in love with this style card – so delicate : )

Hi Anita, this is so pretty and delicate. The embossing looks beautiful with the added bling 🙂
A very classy card Anita. The white on white with just a touch of colour is gorgeous. Love the EF. My last card morphed over 3 nights
I’m late in commenting, but here i am, clasping my hands together, gazing in *nearly* speechless admiration and awe at how stunning this card is, with essentially simple, perfectly executed elements! The ef is so lovely, and your decision to keep its elegance the star of the show has resulted in a nothing short of stunning card! Wowsers, my friend!! I’m excited to see what dazzles and delights will emerge from the remaining NBUS folders!! Love this oodles, and I’m joining Geri: Winner, winner! Hugs~c
I love how you embraced all the white space here! The embossing is fantastic, with just enough sprinkling of colours from the stripes, gems and heart leaves! Thanks so much for playing to find a Cure For The Monday Blues!
LOVE the white-on-white blossoms with the small touches of color and sparkle. Loll xx
Such a subtle beauty! Gorgeous!
