Decorative Lace Border

Good morning! Another favourite colour combo of mine and I absolutely love this shade of the silky crush ribbon!  This is another of the Heartfelt Creation dies (aren't they lovely, you can tell that I favour them, can't you?!)  This is the Decorative Lace border that I have used, cut out of taupe card and threaded my ribbon through some of the openings.  I know it is difficult to see behind my ginormous bow, sorry!  I stamped my sentiment on the bottom corner of the same colour background card.   I wanted a tone on tone look for it.  I matted it on to a piece of decorative card which matched my ribbon.  I cut the bottom border with a decorative insert and a cutting edge from the edgebility range.  The top was done using one of the smallest inserts to give it a pretty accent.  I pierced down the left and right side and added a swirly pearl piece for bling to finish off my card.  Very simple, quick and easy, but I was really happy with it in the end. 
Now for the good news!  I have finally finished my shows for the week.  There were sell outs of the remaining two bundles of new dies after my 1pm show yesterday so they let me go home after the show and have cancelled the remaining shows on Thursday and Friday.  This is good news because I can finally get into work today and get all the blog candy drawings caught up!  For the first time ever, I am officially three blog candy drawings behind!  Check back later this afternoon for a list of winners!  All for now, Sue x

  70. Hi Sue

    My dies arrived today too late for the shows grrrrrrrr. I am loving the heartfelt dies and the stamps. I promised myself not to buy any more stamps as running out of space. Wonder if spellbinders will do a cd with them on one day. Todays card is a hum dinger. (sings constantly to you lol). Love the turquoise backing paper and boarder. The font of the sentiment adds opulence. Its just oozing opulence. as to be a 10 out of 10 again . Well done Sue.

  116. Hi Sue
    Love this one as many of your other cards but how can we not love them.
    I have this lace die and do use it a lot since i got it and it's gorgeous done in mirri board.
    I gave in and bought the Edgeabilities as i have all the others and having 2 edge ones saves all the hassle of taking one off and replacing it to cut the other edge.
    THANK YOU! for all the inspiration
    Have a nice rest but not for to long as we need more inspiration LOL!

    Try and have a restful Easter break Sue if you can. You deserve it after the last few days.

  150. Hi Sue, I'm sorry you got to go home early, it means we are missing out on more of your great demos!LOL. Glad it was such a success for you though and I expect you will be pleased to get back to normal. I really like today's card and although I couldn't get the lace border I'm sure I can think of a suitable substitute if I try hard enough.
    Congratulations to all the winners, have fun with your prizes.

  158. Lovely card Sue, you truly are a remarkable woman. I have watched all your demos on C&C and enjoyed every one. I had a go at making this card yesterday but it didn't turn out half as good as yours! Hope you have a relaxing Easter and thanks again for sharing your fantastic ideas with us. (I loved the red and white card with the red flowers you made.)

  181. Hi Sue,
    Love, love this. The colour first caught my eye and then the lacy diecut from the Heartfelt die is stunning done in the same colour and card as the base. Perfect.
    You will laugh when I tell you what I started to sing when I saw this one today.... 'Moon River'!! But this is my slightly altered version in tribute to you...
    Blue ribbon, wider than a mile, I'm bowing you in style, today!!
    Ok.. maybe not my best but not that bad is it?? Oh ok, I try.
    All the best Linda x
