Sweet & Sassy Thank You

My card today is a white on white using Elizabeth Bell's cutie 'Sweet and Sassy' stamp, coloured with Copics and Distress Markers. I've stamped the background with a Fiskars background stamp and heat embossed with Papermania's embossing powder and distressed the edges of the matting. I've used my Marianne D's Clockand  Mistletoe flower dies, the flowers are embossed with a Papermania freebie folder and i've added some pearls to the centres. I've also used Marianne D's Vintage 'Richelieu' lace. The sentiment and frame stamp are also Fiskars.
