Good morning all! Another card from past POTW shows in either November or December, a while ago anyways. How quickly it passes, huh? I was playing with some different colour combinations when I thought how lovely the purple and brown were together. I don't recall using those two together for quite some time so I thought, why not?!
I used the Lattice Rectangle die templates as a background for the Samantha Walker Twisted metal tag dies. I found that if you play around with those, they interlock into each other and form a very pretty frame for your sentiments. We had some beautiful colours of the vintage ribbons on those shows so I took that opportunity to make several of my rolled roses for the corner. I will put up a tutorial on those very soon, I promise. The foliage die set is what I used to frame the corners of my sentiment and give my flowers some pretty coloured leaves. I inked them while still in the die to bring depth to them. I added a crisscross of vintage ribbon behind everything and then my usual paper piercing around the card for an elegant finish. There are a couple of close up pics of the flowers and the sentiment below for your inspection. Hope you like it! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, another beautiful card, love the flowers
love jan x
These are colours that I just wouldn't have thought of putting together, but they work so well.
After following the spellbinders blog I can't wait to see what you do with the new dies.
Good morning Sue,
I adore your floral composition at the top of todays card. Along with the Twisted Metal Tag diecuts it reminds me of the trailing roses and grapes adorning the overhead trellises of a Greek restaurant I visited in Kos a few years ago. The colours of your card are an almost perfect representation of the natural wood trellis, grapes & vines and below them the wooden benches all laid with (squares) of white tablecloth. A lovely memory for me again. Only thing I need now is the Twisted Metal Tag Dies as I have been having trouble getting them and I can try this linking.
Have a great day. Love Linda
Good Morning Sue, Watching your DVD as I write. I'm going to try the crackle effect today. I love how you have used the lattice rectangle dies on this card. I dont have them 'Yet' lol. Linda x
Hi Sue,
Yet again, a beautiful card, your colour choices are always amazing.
I love the ribbon roses, I tried this, but mine looked more like a knot, lol.
Hope you are back for the next shows on C&C.
Best Wishes to you

Stunning, love the colour combo. Unusual but beautiful and rich...
Love the colour combo and must get the twisted metal die. Have seen it a few times now on C and C and it is so different and striking. Definitely a "Sue" card.

Hi Sue, What a stunning autumnal coloured card. I have made many a brown and deep purple card, inspired by one of my favourite chocolate wrappers, but never brown & lilac / pale purple. Loving the interlocking frames, ribbon roses & piercing. It's all these little extras that make your cards exceptional. With love & Light Theresa. H

Dear Sue it has been fun to see many of your cards on Spellbinders / Caliber shows this week. x
Not your usual color combination. I like how you experiment with color. Love the ribbon flowers and the leaves and all of the other elements on this card.
The roses are so very pretty. I have been trying to do them like yours but don't quite have it down yet. Yours are always sooo pretty. Love how you locked the spellb's together. Awesome again! Mimi
