Hi blog friends! If you don't have a great deal of time, this is the card for you to make. It only uses a small bit of decorative paper as an accent so you don't have to part with too much of your treasured stash. I really liked the autumnal colours to this piece of paper. I cut a decorative edge into it with the edgeabilities for some added interest then matted it with black card. The focal piece is simply the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Rectangles cut out of black in the largest size. I stamped my sentiment on white card and cut it out with the next size of the same die set. I left a bit of space to the right and stamped my ivy down the side while the piece was still in the die. I also used the die as an edge to make stitch marks around the focal element with a fine tipped black pen. I embossed the top of the background card with the leaf mask and then wrapped my frilly edged ribbon around it and made a bow. I added some of the moss green vintage ribbon to give the card a bit more colour. Topped it with a wood button, a piece of jute tied through it and a few decorative stick pins. I layered up the piece on a larger piece of white with a pierced edge to it and finished it with a mat of black for balance. It sounds like a lot of work but it was a very quick card to complete. Give it a try if you are in a pinch! All for now, Sue x

Fabulous card Sue
Absolutely stunning - the colours are just beautiful!
Love the style of this card. The mixture of soft petals in the edgeabilities with the ironwork of the matts makes for a very striking card. I love to mix 'textures' even this simply. Stunning. However I have one 'sorry':- not sure of colour scheme. But I can't love everything, can I. You're still my favourite! (major sucking up now. lol..) regards Linda
This is beautiful Sue, really stylish and I so love the way you tie the ribbons on your cards :)
