Good morning all! I can spell "anemone" but don't ask me to say it. I don't know what it is about that word, but it never wants to come out right! At least the dies are lovely, I can say that. Another really quick and easy card. Just lay all your anemone dies on your base plate, cover them with white card and cut them. Now you have the background for this card with the negative leftover piece. I stamped my sentiment in the most open leftover area and clear embossed it. Next, I matted a piece of decorative paper behind my cut out flowers. With the actual flowers that I cut out, I removed the inner part of the petal leaving the thinner flower shaped piece. I glued them in place over the flowers, but offset them between the cut out petals. I added some black decorative buttons from my craft stash to the centres of each flower. I decided to mat it with a piece of eggplant coloured card (aubergine, sorry). I had just finished two all black and white cards so I just wanted a pop of colour (any colour would work here too). I finished the card with a bit more matting and layering, but not a ribbon or bow in sight. Aren't you proud of me? LOL Don't worry, I'm sure I will make up for it later on by subjecting you to some sort of ribbon/bow frenzy when you least expect it (expect it!) All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
Another wonderful card. The colours work so well together, with different colours this would make a great Christmas card.
Sue
A great card. Simple but effective. Karen x
Great shape die, love monochrome! Trace x
A really beautiful card aaaaagain Sue, and I really like that there´s more people than me, who likes to use the negative parts of the cut outs. I have been told sooo often, that it´s me, who´s just stingy with my cardstock, when I use them all the time, so it´s good to see some more profesional do it too he he he.
Hope you´re arrived well and not too tired after the long flight. Have lots of fun.
Lovely card Sue, and I think this could be one of those cards to do when you need a card in a hurry as there is only one die.
Chris
A very effective card which would change depending on the choice of papers and colours a very useful design.
Maggie
A lovely,simple but effective card...I had these dies as part of my 'spellbinders' Christmas present and I really love the way they make a card 'pop' love Carole Z x
Well done one no Ribbons! bet that was hard, but you did a good job, a very effective, quick card, that will change with the season, adore it, xx
Such a nice clean cut looking card Sue .x
Lovely card Sue hope you had a easy journey, enjoy your trip.
I must think about where I put my dies so I can use the negatives, I tend to fill in the spaces with other dies so the negatives are put in the bin.
Lovely card

Your card is so lovely and the dies are so beautiful.

Great idea, must give this a try.
No ribbon and still a stunning card, love it.

Lovely card, I have a sheet of red mirror card that I used to cut lots of the poinsettia dies with and I have not been able to throw it away as I was sure I must be able to use it somehow and it is so pretty. Now I know exactly what to do with it - thanks for the insperation x

Good Morning
I hope you are enjoying your trip.
What a lovely idea with the anemone dies and the patterned paper, it gives inspiration for using coloured card and toning papers to do the same thing and get different results every time. I can't wait until tomorrow's post, you certainly have lots of great ideas.
Great card. Very beautiful.
I love those flowers!
oh yes I really like this one ....its a card you could use for anything.......shame I havnt got the dies but I am sure I will be getting them soon!!!!! hope you are over the jet lag Sue.....take care Margaret
And how you managed to add the "reply" button for the comments? I want this feature in my blog as well :-)
Thank you.
Looks like I might *have* to purchase those anemone dies soon - you do such wonderful work with them (even if you can't pronounce them :D )
It's nice to see the negatives being used in such a creative and elegant way. I really like the techniques you've used on this card.
Once again, gorgeous card. The negatives often seem to get forgotten so good to get inspiration on what to use them for. I have this die so think I'll be having a play. Thank you Sue

Fab Sue and a great way to use up your negitaves, I think It would be a help if you could tell us the size of card stock you use please
Ita
Just as a joke we always called them "anna mones" but however you say it, what a very effective card! Meg xxx
Lovely card Sue even without the ribbon! Regards, Anne Rx
I love this striking yet simple card Sue, but I have to admit I love your ribbons, bows, flowers and paper piercing, a whole lot, so bring them back soon, lol.
Hope your journey was ok and you don't feel too 'out of sorts'.
Love and hugs

Purple my fav! I love the simplicity of this card. I will try using the negative more on my cards thanks to your inspiration. Hope you had a safe journey Dawn x
Love those Anemone dies! What a nice way to make a CAS card. Hugs, Hanneke
I receive these dies as part of my Christmas pressie, but yet to play with, lol. Again I love the idea of using negatives as I hate to waste anything. x x x So many ideas, so little time. x x xCraftylicious.
What a fun card. TFs.
Loving the different look.
Tracy x
Dear Sue
This looks REALLY good. Vee x
This looks cool, I forget to make use of the negatives - thanks for making me think of this
Hi Sue
Another nice card but what, no bow!
Ria
This is beautiful, so simple and elegant. The differences between UK English and American English are so interesting. It must be really confusing some times.
When you pare things back and just go simple and easy I think it always gives you a surprise how lovely they turn out.
Stunning csrd Sue, a bit different from your usual ones but lovely.
I love this fun game, oh n ya card Sue :D
This is so C.L.E.V.E.R.!! Okay, that was probably dumb, but I figure it's an inside joke by now. :) But seriously, very, very clever!
Just can't get enough of your ideas sue, love your way of thinking outside the box, your card is fan dabby doozy xx
Simple but still a lovely card. Like the colours
-Sue XXX

Hi Sue,
A short post today as I am so late and must get some rest.
Firstly hope the journey was good and getting home to mum brought some relief for you both.
Todays card is lovely, simple but very stylish. Have made a few cards myself over the past 5days and going well now.
Best wishes Linda x
Not one of my favourites this time. I like the style but its the colours that I'm not too keen on. - But - hey - whats my opinion compared with the 'master'.!!!!
I love this card Sue :D
Sue H. xx
I love this card Sue :D
Sue H. xx
Initially I was undecided about this card. However, the more you look at it, especially in close up, the more it grows on you.
Enjoy your time with your family, Anne x
Lovely, simple but effective, I have these dies so think this will be my next card.x
Hi Sue
Sorry my comment is late buit have had difficulty getting on your blog for the past few days and have so missed checking out your daily designs. Anyway back now and this card is simple but stunning.
Jean
Sorry for late comments, not being able to for last few days, love the monochrome look, and the
colour combinations
Just great..
Wow Wow Wow!
Just beautiful, I love the colours used and I must give this one a go!
I have this die will have a go at this one realy pretty
Jane xx
What a beautiful card Sue I must get this die (it must be the only one I don't have) LOL
Heather x
simple but beautiful nevertheless. Love the way you have used the negative shapes and done that offsetting.
very different from your usual cards lovely x
I have no problem with anemone but for many years phenomenon was a no go area for me (interestingly, they have similar letters). I remember my Dad patiently trying to coach me but I could never manage to say it until I must have been well into my fifties (and I think actually telling someone I couldn't say it at the time!) when it suddenly popped out perfectly without warning and I've never had a problem with it since! So there is hope for you and anemone, Sue.
I don't have the anemone die (yet!) but if or when I do this would be a lovely card to try. I am having your blog sent to my email address so it is easy for me (I'm not a computer whizz by any means) to print out and keep all the ones I'd like to try (which is most of them!) Sue x
Hi Sue, I love how you used ink in the bg of the cuts. The colors are great, they work very well together! Another awesome card!!! Mimi
Hi Sue - love this card the colours are fab and the design beautiful - definately one Id like to try x Hilda
I am just commenting to make you know of the notable encounter my cousin's daughter found visiting the blog. She picked up a wide variety of issues, with the inclusion of how it is like to possess an incredible teaching mood to get many more completely know precisely selected advanced things. You truly surpassed my expected results. Thanks for giving such great, healthy, explanatory and in addition fun guidance on your topic to Janet.
