As well as my entry for the LIM Challenge this is one of my inspiration pieces for the May challenge at the Cubby Hole. I know, I know it's not exactly less but it is white :)
I used three shades of white , five if you count the two shades of pearl embellishments.
It is an 8x8 hard canvass panel.
Hope this still qualifies for LIM :)
I had some difficulty with the photos...
you are quite right Chris photographing all that white isn't easy
hence three different shots.
The one above was taken outside this morning.
This was taken by Joe indoors with an artificial side light, using his lovely little Cannon Ixus..
This shows lots of interesting shadows.
This shows lots of interesting shadows.
( I covet this camera:)
This was taken by me with my Cannon Power Shot A650 ( as are all my photos ) indoors without artificial side lighting
It has been difficult to show up the white, every photo looked blue and hitting automatic levels made it worse! but I'm sure you'll get the drift :)

Its a beautiful card, I know what you mean with the photographing its not easy.
This is breathtaking! Love your story about your GD too!
The photography is difficult, but so much better than scanning.
This is lovely with a great feeling of movement within the foliage!
Thanks so much!

I really like the different photos in different lights - you can really see the textures and depth on your card. And it's lovely!!!
What a lovely card Suzi - I also had trouble photographing my submission but you've certainly done well here.
Lovely card. I like the dimension in it.
Hugs, Sandra
wow this is stunning, love the birdcage!!

Glorious, loving your touch of 3D to the bird cage

Simply stunning-LOVE all the foliage around it.
Your photography skills are much better than mine any day!! xx
This is gorgeous and I have to say it - Joe's side-lit photo is the way to go! I reckon it is a bit difficult to be really minimal and keep everything white as well - I'm still thinking about mine but I reckon it is a trawl through the embossing folders!!
Gorgeous card Suzi :-)I love the design of this :-)
I hope you don't mind me putting in me tuppenyworth but Debby ( aka A Scrapjourney) gave me a lovely tip about using an embossing tool to round the images from the underneath side of the image and I think this technique would work well with the bird, make him look fatter and more puffed up ,,,, just my thoughts :-)
