Wishing You The Best in Teal

Good morning everyone!  First things first, we have a winner in the comment game!  On the post of Nov.22nd we had over 100 comments so I randomly drew out number 12 which corresponded to Vee Cassidy's comment.  Congratulations to Vee!  Just email me your postal details to confirm and I will post off your prize to you.  Just to let everyone know, since I have been pre-scheduling my posts the announcements of the winners may lag behind the actual post by several days.  Don't worry, though, I am keeping track of it and since the comments are time stamped. it is very easy to go back and check!
As you can see, I am going through a teal phase.  Teal is just such a soothing colour I think, you may have to endure more of it!  I embossed the background using my fretwork mask.  Since I wanted to do a background that is larger than the mask size, I cut one edge off the mask.  Now I can move it and line it up to do a larger area and it won't leave a line.  In essense, you can make the background any size you want.  I cut three sizes of the Labels 22 dies and added the matching Nestabling in the black rhinestones.  It's a bit much, I know, but it's fun!  I cut one of the fancy tags in aqua and cut it in half and added to either end of the largest Label 22 die.  It has those "holding hands" swirls that are so versatile.  I added a messy bow out of the teal vintage ribbon and a black organza rose for the centre.  Two decorative pearl pins were just calling out to me to be added to the bow, so, of course, I had to oblige! Lol  A bit of piercing a round the edge and we are finished.  What do you think?  All for now, Sue x

Hello Everyone and congats to Vee. The labels stacked together with the nestabling looks very 3d. What a good idea to cut the line off the template - so useful. Hope u r having a relaxing holiday Sue and have a good weekend everyone.

Gorgeous card, I love the teal colour

Tracy Heaton said...

Loving your 'teal phase' - even though you're using it a fair bit, no two cards ever look samey

Anonymous said...

A beautiful card, as usual. Teal in various shades seems to go with so many other colours. It looks as if the spellbinders make card designing much easier.
Congrats to Vee.

Just Lovely Sue - as ever. Many thanks for your efforts and inspirational, you are the first thing I look at when I want to make a card.

Hi Sue, a wonderful card with my colour of the moment, Teal, just bought a jacket that colour, lovely and bright for a very wet day.

Linda (Lindyloo) said...

I must agree with yourself and Christine, teal is very soothing. It makes a lovely card for anyone, whatever time of year. Sunny beaches and wintery snowy skylines (The same feeling I had with your Parisian in Teal 17th Nov). Funny isn't it, even though you have done a couple in teal, as Tracy says- they are not the same. I now have these spellbinders, thanks to you, and can try this one for myself. Its delightful. Hope all is well with you and yours. Regards Linda

I do not have all the dies you use but have taken on board what you say about playing and boy! have I been playing.
It amazing what you can come up with even if you don`t have the particular die.
Thank you for sharing all your wonderful work.
