Good morning! I just love Nestabling and it adds just the right amount of bling for the focal element here I think. If you haven't tried it yet, Nestabling is pearls or black rhinestones that have been done in the exact shape of the Nestibility shapes. Here I have used Labels 18 and the pearl Nestabling. I added a couple of end pieces which were cut from the Ironworks dies and then inked.
I embossed the background with the itty bitty dot mask for texture. I cut three of the lace doily borders, two from dusty rose card and the other one from cream card, giving the card a pretty petticoat look. I love doing that as it adds some femininity to the card, but also adds texture and a lovely accent for a simple card. I added a messy bow tied from basque red vintage ribbon. I topped the bow with some pink Bakers twine and a wood button. Two decorative pearl stick pins completed the accent to the bow. I added pearl PVA glue dots to frame the edge of the card. Another quick and easy one for any occasion. I hope you like it!It's time again for the new list of current winners of the Comment Game! Thanks for all your support.

Congratulations to all the winners!! The colours you have used on the card are gorgeous!! Cxx
The colours are fantastic on this card , it loks great !
Hi everyone. Congratulations to all the winners. Sue, yet another fab card. I love the colour combo & the simplistic look. Cutting up the iron work pieces & placing them behind the labels die was inspired. When I first saw the card I thought you had used 1 pre-shaped die. The nestabling definitely helps with this look as it hides the joins. With Love & Light Theresa. H
Hi Sue, What a wonderful card , beautiful colours as usual. You are one talented lady, many thanks. Yvonne xx

What a lovely card! Great colors and cute pins. Hugs, Hanneke
great colours yet again Sue it reminds me of raspberries and summer, and we have 4inch of snow outside..........The lace dies I love, they are a bit faffy to get out of the die but worth it in the end. Loverly card. Can I ask do you ever worry about how to post your cards I find it a real headache, so leave 'the deep ones' to people I can just hand them over to.
Hi Sue
Stunning card, have a few days off so really going to experiment with my dies, you give so much inspiration. Congratulations to winners

wonderful card Sue

Lovely, pretty card Sue.
Hi Sue,
As some of the other followers have said, the way you 'grow' a die is fabulous. Just by adding a little bit here and there you completely change the look of a die or layer and always produce something not only clever but beautiful; and as CraftyJo says, I like your petticoat...LOL!!
With your permission Sue I would like to ask Lilygee how her husband is now he is home from hospital? I do hope he is doing well and you too. Also Sue, I have been chatting to a few of your followers (because of your lovely blog) and I am a little concerned as BIM hasn't commented for ages. She has always been an avid follower of yours and I just wondered if you could tell me if she is ok. You have my email - if you are able to let me know of course.
Congrats to all the winners, enjoy your candy.
Thanks and hugs Linda

Wow, can't wait to have a go at Nestabling!
Dear Sue
I really like this one; I love what you do with borders. I ordered the nestabling but I wanted labels 20 and got 22! Oh well I might get 22 in the future or I will just chop it but that seems a shame. Unless anyone wants a swap! sorry not abusing your blog I am just joking lol Vee xx
Nice one Sue-yet again! Really liking the colours; must give this one a try. Well done to all the lucky winners.x
