Bright white linen cardstock used as a base.
The flower border is a punch and I glued on some pale blue pearls.
The centre panel is a scrap of K and Co paper which has been lying about for about a year I scooped it up when we moved house and lo and behold it found it's way back onto the desk here - after I'd cut off all the dog eared bits it was literally just enough to put across the centre!
I edged it with some blue shoestring ribbon.
I quite enjoy making these flowers by using nestie dies and again this one was made just using up scraps of white card. To achieve the blue colour I dabbed on some 'Sea Breeze' Versamagic Chalk Ink.
The flourish got the same inky treatment as did the tag. The 'Special Friend' stamp was a freebie.

I love this one VIV! Thanks for joining CAS on Sunday!
Been away and just seen your cards on The Snippets Playground challenge and I have to say that I am blown away by them, they are both absolutely stunning, I adore white on white and have done a few myself but nothing to compare with the two that have been showcased.
Very well done.
