My Sheri Crafts - Challenge #93

Labor Day is upon us and as you know it is also the last day to wear white so the challenge at My Sheri Crafts this time is create a card or project that is "white on white." I must say this was a tad difficult for me since I'm typically a very colorful person. I just received my CTMH Cricut Artiste cart so I thought I'd see what I could come up. I found this cute 3D box and thought what a cute idea for a wedding favor. So I cut the box, the design for the top, the flower and Mr & Mrs all from textured white cardstock. I used a little white pearlized Smooch on all elements except the box itself. I added some cute pins I had in my stash and thought it looked pretty good for being all white. I know if I can do so can you so jump on over to My Sheri Crafts and check out what the Design Team has created and submit your project.
