White on White with One Colour: My Die Cut Divas Challenge Cards

It’s time to share my cards for this month’s challenge at Die Cut Divas, where our theme is “White on white with one colour.” We’re lucky to have Birch Press Designs sponsoring the challenge this month, and if you love beautiful dies, they have some wonderful designs to explore.

I don’t have a large collection of Birch Press Designs products, but I do have their String Art Hot Foil Plate. It took me a little while to work out how best to use it for a white-on-white card, but in the end, I decided to emboss a white panel with it. The subtle texture gave the background just enough interest while keeping the card elegant.

For the focal image, I used an already stamped and cut Couture Creations Ringing Bells image, which I had cut with my Scan’n’Cut. I coloured the bow and clappers with red pencils, then added Star Dust Stickles for texture and sparkle without introducing another colour. The sentiment came from the LDSR Christmas One and Go stamp and die set, which has left me with lots of extra sentiments ready for future cards.

While I had the hot foil plate out, I also cut some red foil and created another card panel.

For this card, I wanted the focal point to stay white on white, so I die cut the Spellbinders Poinsettia and built it into a layered flower. A small red glitter dot in the centre tied it back to the one-colour theme, and I stamped a Merry Christmas sentiment in red ink before clear embossing it. A few more red glitter dots finished the design beautifully.

I really enjoyed finding ways to add texture and interest while keeping the palette so limited. White on white can be such a lovely challenge, especially when that single pop of colour is used thoughtfully.

Do come and join us at Die Cut Divas this month with your white on white with one colour projects. Just remember to use your die machine to cut or emboss.  We’d love to see what you create!
