Sugar Nellie - WOW

Hi Peeps,

Just a quick post as I wanted to get my very first white on white card loaded.  Don't know if you have heard but Sugar Nellie are running a competition to win a new Grand Calibur.  Woo Hoo.  So here's my attempt at white on white.  I'm not particularly happy with the photo, but then what do you expect at 10pm at night, so I may re-take in daylight tomorrow.


Here's a close up of this gorgeous stamp


EDIT - Here's another picture as I wasn't entirely happy with the first one.



Here's the competition rules.
