TSTR #4's Hostess With the Mostess - ME!! :)

Hello everyone! 

Welcome to another fabulous installment of The Shabby Tea Room's weekly challenge!  This week's challenge is my brain-child ~ "Embrace the White" ~ something I am NOT very good at.  As you will see from my sample, it's *still* something I need to work on.  I have such a hard time letting the white (color or space) be the star - I guess I love my colors!  :)  Maybe I'll take another stab at it this week with y'all.

I hardly ever make long, narrow cards so when Sarah created a Mojo Monday sketch a couple of weeks ago, I thought I'd take a stab at it:

And this is The Shabby Tea Room inspiration picture - it's so pretty and clean:

I used Tangerine Tango in a card the other day and realized how much I enjoyed this color when it was in the "In Colors" collection but I don't get the chance to use it very often anymore.  *sniff*  So, taking my inspiration from the dark shade of orange in the pear, here's what I came up with:

I got to use my new Verve stamps again - lucky me! This set is called Beautiful Kindness -ain't it purdy?  I'm not sure Julee can create icky stamps!  LOL

So, you've seen what I've done with this color challenge, now it's your turn.  All you need to do is make a card or other project where you "Embrace the White" - use mostly white and your choice of one other color (does not necessarily have to be in the inspiration picture).  Make sure you stop back at The Shabby Tea Room to link us all back to your project because one lucky crafter is going to be the winner of this little grab bag of goodies:
