Hello to everyone! I have chosen a wine and rose coloured card for todays post. This card was to have been a demo for the past weeks shows but there were two shows that were cut from the last day due to the lack of remaining product. While I am on the subject,though, I would like to say a great big thanks for all your support and incredibly kind emails during the shows. It is lovely (albeit , a bit embarrassing too) to hear such wonderful things read out from all your emails. I am hoping that I can give back to you through my blog by posting daily. (that is the goal, at least!)
This card uses the Spellbinders beaded square nestie in the largest size, then a frame cut from the blossoms four set and the small labels four for the sentiment piece all layered up for the focal element. Easy as pie! I used an embossing folder for the background and you should be able to see it in the close up pic below. I added some frilly edged dusty rose ribbon down the side of the card and tied it into a knot rather than a bow this time. I added three pink organza roses, but I inked them softly with Victorian Velvet Distress ink to match the card. I also used my heat tool on one of them to shrink it slightly. Organza melts very easily under heat so you have to use short blasts from your tool or it will shrivel up too fast. It is an easy way to create dimension with your flowers though. I completely the card by adding some of the new pearl swirls along the right hand side of the card. I love the romantic feel they give to a card! I hope it's not too girlie for you, do let me know! All for now, Sue x

The pearly swirls look great on this card, echoing the embossing and the ribbon and roses are gorgeous.
Wow, this is soo pretty.
Oh the girlier the better for me Sue. Ultimate inspiration - who needs to look anywhere else.xxx
This is absolutely amazing but then again we wouldn't expect anything less from you. I love watching you on Create & Craft and the inspiration is second to none. Could you please tell me though what are the best products to use for inking around your sentiment whilst still in the dye? Is there a particular item to use in order to put the ink on with? Thanks Alison H x
Good enough to eat!! I think you've already given enough Sue - your generous and sharing spirit is a treasure and makes a lot of people happy.xx
God Bless

Such a pretty card, not too girlie at all. Love the flowers and the swirls.

Beautiful card love the swirls too Hugs Anne x
Great use of labels four & blossom four! Not sure I would even have attempted those two together, but it really works. Like the way youve got that subtle inking on the edges of the rose petal flowers.
ps I dont actually like pink, but I like this card!!!! :o I think its the way you have added the darker burgundy colour to tone with the pink, it makes it much more elegant than just frilly pink and flowery!!
Beautiful Sue, just right for a special friend, Edwina
Hi sue, love the card, I like the idea of melting the organza with the heat gun, will have to try this sometime, vanessa x
Yes a girly card, but not a fru-fru girly card. I love it cos it more 'Victorian' is style. Lovely Regards Linda x
Such an adorable girlie card. It's gorgeous!
The organza ribbon and flowers are lovely and I like the idea of heating up the flower to make is smaller.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
I would like to tell you what is my favorite among all business card template, but there are too many great designs to be able to choose! I chose to tweet about the contest however, that is the least I can do!

This is a beautiful card. The colours are lovely and girlie and I love how the blingy pearls go over the centre piece too. And I love the flowers. Lee x
Gorgeous! I love the colours...I ordered this ribbon and the roses when you were on POTD, (along with a few dies!)and they arrived at the weekend. Day off work tomorrow so am hoping to play!
