This weeks challenge at Less is More is "White on White" - no other colours at all!
For my card I embossed Woodware Birdcage stamp with Versamark and white EP. I then highlighted some areas with Cosmic Shimmer White Pearl. I then added a Mariannes Large Bird on Branch die cut.
Very difficult to photograph!
Thanks for looking
Sandra
Update!
Followed Chrissie's advice and played around with contrast.
Hope you can see it better now!

This is lovely Sandra, but as you so rightly say... very difficult to photograph, I can't offer much help either I'm afraid apart from trying a little enhancement in Picasa.
It's great that you tried heat embossing too! Super!
Thanks for another great submission!

This is beautiful and really serene looking. Great idea to white emboss directly onto the card, xx
But worth the effort as this is a lovely card and you CAN see the detail

Beautiful card, very clever embossing too. Love it
it is a bit hard to see - but its absolutely BEAUTIFUL :-)
A gorgeous card Sandra xx Jan
The combination of whites is striking here. The only suggestion I have as to photography is to angle the photograph under a light - I'm about to do one using Twinking H20s. Love the idea of the die cut on the wet embossed bird cage. Lovely concept & I love the textures. The only other way would be to use glossy accents or glitter as a highlight but I like the subtleness of the Cosmic Shimmer.
Much love

Gorgeous card. I love the bird and bird cage and am sure that they look even better IRL! Love Sheila x
Just lovely Sandra - great idea with the white heat embossing for the cage.

Fabulous card! Love the shimmer you have created.
When I take my cards I'm lucky in the fact I have a fluorescent light in my craft room, rather than a spot. I then use Picture It [Picassa is as FAB]to adjust the levels.
Thank you!

Wonderful card Sandra - so elegant but I think white on white always looks good.
Oh my, this is a beautiful card! Great touch to emboss the bird cage!
Well done for getting the photo to show the detail. It is hard with white on white to get any depth. Love your design. Sue

Embossing in the same colour can be a problem sometimes, but not in your case!!!
Beautiful. I love your embossed birdcage; I'm sure the photo is not doing it justice. W/W is so hard to photograph.
Love the bird and branch too.
