Morning all! Another one of my favs from the recent lot of samples (and a break from all the Lattice cards!) I have done this type card on several occasions and, truth be told, even using this same decorative paper too. I just think it makes a stunning creation. I hope you aren't getting tired of this layout yet. I started with a piece of decorative paper (October Afternoon this time), added a layer of cream (actually it is called milk) card on which I pierced the edges and matted a final larger larger of the same colour card to create the background for the card. Next I used the largest size of Labels 25 and the next size down to cut a frame. I inked the piece while still in the dies using Broken China distress ink, leaving that nice edge showing the original card colour (milk again). I did the same exact thing again only using the second largest die as the outside and going down one side for the inside of the frame this time. I cut two like this and inked them both in the same manner. Now I have one large frame and two smaller matching frames. I placed the two smaller ones to the edges of the background and attached them with a small bit of glue on the top and bottom. I didn't add any glue to the centre so that I could slightly lift this area later. I added a small bit of mounting foam to the larger frame top and bottom, placed it in the centre of the two smaller frames so that it was slightly overlapping them both. Next I cut a long strip of coordinating paper (it is the backside of this print) and cut a fork in the end of it. I matted it with a teal card stock for contrast. I inserted it through the sides of the frames weaving it up and down until it was through all the pieces. With a pencil, I marked very lightly where each section was. I removed it and stamped it with a small "thank you" in each section, erased the pencil lines and place the banner back into place, this time securing it with glue on the flat end and on the forked end so it would stay in place. I tied a big messy bow with the teal vintage ribbon and topped it with a rolled flower made from the same paper. I added a small pearl to the flower and some foliage pieces to complete the card. I know, teal is sneaking its way back in to my cards, but I just adore it! Hope it appeals to you too! All for now, Sue x

Love the card - loving the teal colour - just bought some lovely teal ribbon at the week end - hmmm wonder where that could lead me to in my crafting room today - new lattice dies arrived yesterday and LOVING them - so versatile with the large border! - thanks Sue x
Hi Sue
What a great idea with the frame.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Good morning Sue I loved this demo when you did it on C&C, I think it is one of those cards that you think 'how did she do that?'. Looking forward to the Spellbinder show today. x
love it Sue watched you do the demo and persuaded myself to have a go had to use a different label as this one hasnt arrived yet but was really pleased with the result.....did mine in black and tan...my fav combo thanks for the inspiration.....take care Margaret
Morning Sue
Love this card and the colours, never get tired of Teal! I love the way you have used the frames, how do you come up with all these ideas???? Love Jean x
Morning Sue, love this card, but haven't got round to trying it out yet. If you look at the background carefully you can still see a lattice pattern of the dots, so maybe its not technically lattice but it could be lol. Love the background paper anyway xx hazel
Gorgeous and beautiful card Sue watched you make this on CC
Hugs Dianne xx :)
I always love your teal creations Sue. I wonder if this would work with a more highly patterned and multi-coloured paper? I shall have to try this weekend, or maybe even this evening if I get all my housework done!
Morning again Sue,
I really love this card, it is so unusual and wonderful colours too.
Saw you demo this one and thought what a brilliant idea xxxxx
Wow, what a great card- I love what you made with the frames. Great!
Hugs, Uta

Just discovered your blog and find such inspiration from your beautiful designs. I have only recently discovered Spellbinders and I am trying out some of your ideas using the limited number of dies I have at the moment, so similiar but different is the name of the game for me at the moment.
Hi Sue,
Fab card and it looks like it could easily be adapted for use with other label dies - will definitely give this a go.
Lov Bxx
Hi Sue
I love your use of the dies on this card they link so well together. It will have me looking at other dies to see if they can be used in this way.
