Good morning everyone! This style card is one that I really enjoy making, it is about 5 inches tall, but about 11 inches long! I like that it is a bit different than just your average square card. I started with some background paper that |I liked from my craft stash (I think it is SEI brand). It has a subtle gold vein going through it. I cut out two frames from the back side of the background paper making them the same sizes using Labels 24. You can see a close up below. I interlocked the top and bottom point into the area between the points on the second one to create a pretty shape. I stamped my sentiment (available from Creative Expressions stockists) and embossed it with gold and mounted it behind my two Labels 24 frames. I added three gold PVA glue dots underneath the sentiment. I had some chipboard in my stash so I painted it with some gold Eco Paint, used a bit of aged mahogany distress ink and coated it with Tim Holtz Rock Candy which gave it a bit of a crackle look to it. I glued those into place so they were coming from underneath my focal element. I tied a double bow out of the champagne coloured silky crush ribbon. I added a button from my stash. Paper piercing around the edge finished off the card nicely I think! Hope you like this style card too! All for now, Sue x

fabulous card! i love the bow.. soo pretty :)
I like the simplicity of this card and the size is great (less money to spend on postage, more money to spend on craft!!)

a very striking card Sue, the colours make it look really bold, but pastel shades would change the feel altogether -love it!I bought these dies and was a bit unsure of them first, but now I use them frequently and in lots of different ways! Carole Z X
this is different but really like it
Good morning Sue I love the colours you have used on this card and I think when it is made in another colour it will change the look altogether. I love the scrolls' ,ribbons and paper as usual I love everything lol.

This is a rich card with lovely colors the challenge would be to find an envelope yo match the card.
Debby
Morning, I like the colours but can not say that i am keen on the label dies being crossed in this way. Sorry Sue as you probably know by now I do tell you what I think,rather than just lie. this one does not do it for me. Have a good day. Glad that you enjoyed the NEC x
Morning Sue,
Really nice card, I love the background paper.
Have a great day,

Hi Sue
I love the size of this card. I am addicted to 8x8 at the moment an worry about using a different size because I like a larger area to work on. This card still give size.
The paper you have used here is stunning and really makes this card.
I have some of the crushed ribbon but I love it so much I keep putting off using it.
Ria
Good MOrning Sue, What a very striking card,love the colour ways. With colour change this can be made into a mans card.

Morning dear Sue,
Another beautiful card. You make them look and sound so easy make.
I've just finished my 1st ever card!! I'll send a picture the next time you are on C&C. Very amateurish compared to you though LOL!!
I love the flourish so can you tell me where to get the chipboard and also I just got a gift of the Tim Holtz Stickles all the colours , can you tell me what to do with them?
I'd appreciate any ideas at all.
Love
Celina - Waterford
This is so different, and so subtle. Lovely.

Very different style today, but still very striking, I love the big swirl.
This is lovely, great colours together x

Morning Sue,
Love this card - something a little different. Gorgeous colour combination.
Keep smiling
SueB
I must admit, I´m not too happy about cards being soo big, but I do like, how you used the dies thoug, and I love the way you made it look, but half the size would be far better in my opinion, but that´s just me ofcause LOL. I love the colorchoise.
Woe, such rich colors! Love the gold sentiment! Hugs, Hanneke
I love the style and the interlocking is very clever. I'd like to see it in another colour too.
I really like working on a big canvas so this gives me loads of scope. It is a really sophisticated card Sue. Immediately I am imagining this in all sorts of different scenarios. So I'll get cracking and product something today TY as always Sue
What a beautiful card. I love the chipboard swirl technique, will have to try that. Love the colours too. Can you imagine this on your mantlepiece - what a focal point!
Vicki :)
Love the colours on this card, and great idea to use the dies this way x
SUE LOVELY CARD
Love the use of the labels 24 die -another one to add to my "must have" list!
Good morning Sue,
Wow, what a wonderful card that could also be given to a gentleman.
Always on the lookout for male card inspiration with having three sons to make for.
Thanks for sharing and have a great day.

Gorgeous card, love the colours.

Good Morning Sue and everyone. I really like this card. I tend to stick to square cards but this DL shape is really lovely. Very striking and a great way to use the dies. The bow is perfect as usual.
Hi Sue -colour-wise, not my first choice but I love the way you've interlocked the dies. Another set to go on my wishlist. Thanks for the email about the sentiments, I appreciate that. Kathy x
Very effective, love the sentiment.
I love this card. The colours are very rich - beautiful.
Morning Sue
What a stunning card. That ribbon is gorgeous and I MUST have those labels 24 along with loads of other dies

I really like it Sue,the colours, the bow Fab . Elaine H X
Morning Sue,
As I have said in the past I am not a fan of big bows but I think this one works. I like DL cards they make a change from square which I usually use. Love the die use will have to give this a go when I can afford to buy them.
Have a great day.

Morning Sue, I love the size of this card. I am getting very fond of labels 24 as well, they seem to do so much.
Love Rosemarie xx
nice cards and color combination is good. love thoes swirls
Very beautiful card, magnificent colors and fab design.
Morning Sue, lovely card and colours.
Love Sue M xx
The interlocking of the label shape works well and makes it look totally different. This colour scheme would work well for a male card (maybe with twine instead of ribbon!) A georgous card again Sue.
Emma
Morning Sue, I love the warm colours of this card, along with the design. Very versatile in it's use too. Hugs, Carol S.xx
Hi Sue,
Oh dear I feel I'm at odds with everyone but although the colours are nice I just don't like this card, it didn't make me smile this morning, so sorry. I think it is the big swirl and the big bow on a smaller card.
love from Jackie D
Morning Sue
I absolutely love that ribbon its wonderful xxx
Donna
this card is lovely and very different,without the bow this card could be very masculin too.

Thank you, Sue

Good Morning Sue
This card is so adaptable to suit different occasions and people.You always inspire with different ways to use the the dies rather than just the obvious.Thank you.
Hi Sue
A lovely card, abit different for you. Labels 24 seems to be a versatile die to have.
Great colours lovely and rich looking.

Morning Sue, great card, vanessa xx
Good morning Sue and everyone,
This is a stunning card. The colourway is warm and rich and I love the swirl and the way you have intertwined labels 24, have the die so must give it a try.
Have a lovely day.
Hugs June x
I just have to buy some of this ribbon you are using such a lot and always makes the card looked dressed but not overdressed. I still have yet to get a set of labels 24 too - they are on my list. Do you make your own boxes/envelopes for your cards which are sometimes uncommon sizes? I love cards that can be adapted easily to give to either male or female. Delightful.
Susan
Love it, especially the card size And it's great to see chipboard shapes used in conjunction with the dies x
I love big cards and this is a lovely size Sue! Must admit the colours are lush and I really like those 'frames' from labels 24 again. Brilliant use of the chipboard twirlies - yummy.
Hugs Sue Pass
Hi Sue

Hi Sue
Love this style of this card and with tweaks it could be for male or fem's,

So must keep saying to myself postage postage LOL!
Thank you
Lizzie (Serial copycat)xx
Love the colours of this card another classic Sue hugs Joan xxx
Hi Sue
I have these dies round the sentiment and never thought to do that with them lol. Another blonde moment. lol Love these colours, and design to die for. A less is more card. Like the unusual placing of the bow too. Yes one that sings again. Well done Sue.

LOve the colour tones you have used here Sue! xx
Hi Sue,another fab card so different but still amazing.as usual.xxxxxtake care god bless.xx
HI Sue, i think this makes a great mans card maybe substituting the ribbon for something else, BUT i this softer colours will equally make a fab ladies card i like the cleaver use of the labels.. NICE !!!!
Hi Sue, the interlocking of the labels dies is a favourite technique of mine so this card works for me. Have not experimented with chipboard yet as so many other things I want to try. Love the colours, love the card. TFS. Hugs Christine H x

Lovely card and well chosen dies.
Is there no end to your fantastic imagination Sue? This card is lovely...simple but stunning
Hi Sue I just have to buy labels 24 as you use them so often and they always look so good, another brilliant card, and it is nice to see a different shaped card, although I think the square ones are my favourites.

such a change with the colour of this card, reminds me of victoriana, how versatile spellbinders are. i am really glad I found them as i now don't make a card without them

I once had "my colors" done and these autumnish colors suit me to a T! The dies and chipboard really set off that lovely background paper. Oh, and that beautiful ribbon.... I can't get enough of that sort of shabby look. Nice work, as always, Sue.
Oh wow love this card
Fabulous Sue - pretty simple but still great.
I've just made a Wedding Day card using some of my new Spellbinders dies from the POW I bought and will post it on my blog soon. I wasn't quite sure what to do at first but was very pleased with the end result but doubt if I'll every be as good as you!
Hi ya Sue
I love the size and orientation as well as the colours might have a go, at this one or something like it

'Whistle down the wind
Let your voices carry
Drown out all the rain
Light a patch of darkness
Treacherous and scary'
That's exactly what I am singing as I view your outstanding card today. I love the delicate ribbon with the harness of the crackled pieces swirling like wind across the patchy darkness of the paper. It's fabulous and deserved an award winning song, though I will admit I starting singing before I remembered the award!
Anyway, Hope all is good. Regards Linda x
Sue this card is so beautiful. Lee x
Hi Sue, I absolutely love this card (it's even more fantastic in close-up) Can't wait to try it, hopefully soon. Sue x
Love the entwined frames and that ribbon is yummy!

I like this shape of card too.
This is magnificent - the colours, beautiful swirl and such delish ribbon - stunning!

Completely forgot to comment on the day this was posted, even though I had looked. Well you do amazing cards, and this would go into that category. Thanks for sharing!!
Absolutely love this card. Your use of the frames in different ways is really inspiring.
Gorgeous card Sue! I love the gold touches. And that bow - LOVE that bow! Yes, I am a ribbon fanatic :)
I love making unusual size/shape cards too - this one is lovely Sue!

I have had such trouble finding a product for my wavy/curly hair. I have tried everything, and
while some products worked fine, Moroccan Oil is the best. It works in all climates, which is great for me since I travel a lot. I live mostly in a humid costal climate, and my hair doesn't frizz ar fall
flat since I started using this product. I love it!
