I don't know about you, but I have great difficulty getting a good stamped image from white ink.
I saw a really cool card that Juli Baca made - she used white ink and it looked amazing!
This is my version with white ink - and I added more ink to the pad before stamping, and I also stamped each image multiple times.

I was using Crumb Cake as my card stock, and even with 3 stampings of each image you can see it didn't show up all that well.
I left it for a few days, then I thought - OK - white stamping is not my thing, but here's how I can make a card that looks as good as Juli's did. Here's what I came up with.

It's still Crumb Cake cardstock (with an Early Espresso frame this time), but I also stamped each image with Versamark and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. What a difference!
I've used Garden Green ink for the stem and leaves, and Pebbled Path ink for the flower centres. These cards are for thank you cards for those who have ordered off me - an order really does make my day!
In order to add another element I gently flicked my White Stampin' Chalk Marker a few times which gave me the white flecks on the front. I originally tried to do these with embossing powder, but I couldn't get it work the way I wanted it to.
The ink for the sentiment was Early Espresso.
On the inside of the card I used an Early Espresso cardstock frame, then a top layer of Very Vanilla cardstock.
Measurements
Early Espresso layer: 10 x 14.4cm
Very Vanilla top layer: 9.5 x 13.9cm
