Oh boy. I voted "Sometimes" but it's rare. I try to not limit myself with these kind of things but this one is hard PaperAngel.  I tend to be drawn to the cream or off-white based papers and have a hard time adding pieces of white based papers to it or white-based embellishments. Example: Recently I made a l/o and wanted to add some floral elements to it and picked up a pack of PinkFresh die-cuts. I placed them and just couldn't make myself think it was OK. My eyes just wouldn't adjust to it. Great question. |

I voted "yes, frequently" because I do what I want, when I want. š If my page is mostly cream based, but I have the perfect embellishment that is mostly white, I will throw it on there. Then I just add some more white throughout my embellishment clusters to make it seem intentional. Sometimes I'll use white paint for splatters too to help tie everything together.
ETA: I always print my photos with a white border as well.

Thanks for your participation in the poll & responses. While I prefer products with white backgrounds, I sometimes include both white & off-white on a layout. Simple Stories is one of my frequently used manufacturers, & its off-white base colors vary among (& sometimes even within) collections. I gravitate toward its off-white bases with pink or taupe undertones (vs classic cream with yellow undertones) & find they contrast (since they appear either pink or taupe/brown/grey in comparison) - &, therefore, can coexist in a color palette - with white. I consider using 2+ distinct shades of white no different than 2+ defined shades of any other color/neutral (e.g. black/grey, navy/Carolina blue, dark/light pink, emerald/mint) in a color palette.

I donāt like to but do it if the embellishment works with the page. I donāt out the cream directly on the white though.
