Hi everyone, greetings from rain soaked Florida! It has been coming down in buckets for the past two days with thunder and lightning like I have never experienced before! You know what that means... more indoor crafting time! While I have been busily working away on new samples for the upcoming POTW shows in a few weeks, it is still too early to show them unfortunately. Here are a couple of pics of a card I made for the last shows (hope this will hold you over!) Although my camera skills are limited to say the least, I think you can at least get a feel for the fun of this card. I used the parisian die border to create a lacy petticoat look for the bottom of this card by stacking ten of the borders in three colours on top of each other. It really needed a closeup as well as the centre of the card where I stamped and clear embossed a sunflower with the sentiment going around it. I did, however, take a close up of the tulle flower that I added to the top of the card in the middle of the toffee beige vintage ribbon bow. I love the way the tulle looks as a rolled flower, but it is hard to see in the top photo. I really like the way tulle gives a card such a soft romantic feel to it, don't you? Let me know what you think? All for now, Sue x

Wonderful card, sorry about the rain, it will remind you of the UK in the summer. Hugs Bee
Bad luck about the weather but at least you can craft without feeling you should be outside doing something else! Great use of time. Keep them coming.

Hi Sue, what a lovely detailed card, love the tulle flower , i think we call it net here, in the UK , but it looks great, very intricate.
Hi Sue - Going back a few posts you had some beautiful xmas cards in white and a beautiful soft blue (duck egg-ish)
My friend and I have gone through our ink pads (quite a feat!!) trying to find a similar colour, without luck! PLEASE could you tell me what ink did you use???
Thankyou

Ten layers? Wow. It sure looks great. I'm not sure how I feel about the flower though.

Hi Sue ^^ Another stunning and elegant creation! :) Love it!
Beautiful card! Love the very neutral coloring and all of the layering.
This is a great example of how to make a stunning card using only a couple of complimenting tones of the same colour. Love how the border has been layered at the bottom of the card.
Oh wow, it looks lovely and frilly. Very feminine.
what a lovely use of such a different colour, it works so well for a feminine card, which i wouldn't have expected
