Hi my crafty friends! I hope everyone is bright eyed this morning! We are having a bit of a turquoise and tan day today. I was having some fun here mixing and matching different patterned papers from my stash (did you spot the houndstooth, I told you I can't pass it up!) The two tan prints are the front and back from some My Minds Eye paper I had while the turquoise paper is from another company, but I really liked the way they looked together so voila a card! I had a play with the dies to make my focal element and decided on labels twenty for the background piece. I cut a frame using labels 18 on the outside and labels 22 on the inside of the frame to give it a different look. In my typical fashion, I added three of my handmade vintage ribbon rolled flowers as an accent to the top. I added a few pieces from the foliage set as accents to the floral corner of the card and balanced it with a textured bow of frilly edged ribbon and vintage ribbon in the opposite corner. A very easy card to put together as it is just a bit of matting and layering different papers and doing the same with the Spellbinders dies too. Hope it's not too girlie for you! All for now, Sue x

I love everything about this card Sue and I will be looking for the papers from My Minds Eye because they are fabulous. Very clever using the labels 18 and 22 as a frame, something I wouldn't have thought of so thanks for the idea once again

Love the oolours Sue. Need to go out and buy some more patterned papers to add to my 'plain' stash. Anne RD
I love this card Sue!! Brown and turquoise are one of my favourite colour combos. I maybe have a go at something similar to this (if you don't mind me pinching your idea) but I don't have labels 22 so I'll have to play around with that a little.
Love & hugs

This card reminds me of frothy,marshmallow hot chocolate. Frivolous, fun and utterly delicious
Beautiful colour combination Sue, those flowers are so pretty. Makes one beautiful card.
Great combination - you always seem to have just the right papers to go together
Love this card
'Pretty papers, pretty ribbons of blue' (Roy Orbison) or 'Brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favourite things' (Julie Andrews from Sound of Music) I was inspired right through to my core with this card.
I love it because it does actually remind me of the time I could only afford brown paper parcels wrapped with string and bows for my children. I stamped the paper with christmas images to cheer it up and believe it or not, everyone loved it.
I wish for you all a very warm, Happy family Christmas. With love Linda
Linda I still use brown paper, looks great with all the trimmings on

Beautiful and very Sue-style! Loved the colour combination and the bows. Did spot the houndstooth, it will always remind me of you now but I have a vague memory of someone famous wearing that pattern - Jackie Kennedy? - another very stylish lady!
This is not too girly at all. I love this style card and can be used to give to anyone. This is very nice!
Oh my goodness, this is beautiful.
Like the color combo and using a different die to cut out the middle worked beautifully. Another winner!

Another stunner Sue, love tan and turquiose combo.

Wow, the turquoise colour and the roses etc really lift the tan colour.I'm wondering what the card would look like with the final tan frame horizontal - did you try it?
Best wishes
Lynne in Spain
Love this card Sue. The flowers are stunning. Hugs, Carol S.xx
I love the vintage flower ribbons!
How did u get those papers to match? Wonderful how they flow one to another. Think i need more layering as yours looks brill. Silky ribbon looks good too, i have trouble finding the antque lace you use.
