Happy Sunday! You know what that means, don't you? More winners in the comment game. First to the card though. A simple cross card in teal, cream and black. I embossed the background using double sided coordinations card and the Valor Embossibility folder. I sanded it once embossed to show the teal colour and distress it a bit. Next I cut two of the Labels 24 and interlocked them. I did this a lot as I thought it worked so well with many of the dies from the last shows (and that was the only label shape besides the square swatches that I had to work with!) I cut the largest cross twice from milk cardstock from the neutral cardpack. The first cross served as my base. The second one I cut, I removed the arms and used the very centre but did not punch out the fall away pieces. Instead, I taped the back of the piece to keep them intact for a more solid look. I like the way you can see the cut lines though. I mounted this piece on foam and attached it the the cross for dimension. I added a large half pearl to cover the centre hole. I cut a piece of the cream crocheted ribbon and wrapped it around the bottom of the card and secured it to the back. I tied a double bow and added a pearl brad to the centre and attached it to the bottom centre of my card. No sentiment again, but a tag could be easily stamped and added to the bow depending on the occasion.
Here is a close up of the centre of the cross.

Good morning Sue, I think for me personally I like Teal with cream better, the black seems very dark and you have shown in the past a symphathy card doesn't need black,. But you are the master of technique and this card is full of both technique and design. thank you again for your unselfish inspiration. Best wishes Lesley x
Hi Sye, I love the teal and cream together, a bit softer I think. Love the card.
Good morning Sue I love what you've done with the cross die it looks amazing, another idea to copy lol. I also love everything about this card (that's a surprise) 😄 from the colours to the lace bow thanks for sharing.
Hugs x
Beuatiful Sue - that background looks fab and the interlocking bits again - love them! Rachel xx

Congratulations to the winners. This is a wonderful color combo -- so soothing, I think. I like the techniques of interlocking the die cuts and sanding to bring out a bit of the white. Such a lovely ribbon and little bauble in the middle to finish it off.

I'm rethinking getting that labels 24 die. You use it all the time to such great effect, and when I first saw it I thought I'd never use that shape.
I do love the teal in any combination but with cream and black it looks very classy.
Jan
This would make a good xmas card with the cross as could be done in any colour. The crochet ribbon just softens the colours. Emma

Hi Sue,
Great idea to keep in some of the cut parts of the die. Something I never thought of and I'm sure could work with other dies too.

Hi Sue,
A quick one today sorry, it is my sons birthday and so today is about him. Love the card and I especially love the way you did the cross, leaving in the cutaway pieces is lovely and adds a different dimension to it. Teal of course, I just adore, so all in all, gorgeous!
Need your help please Sue; you know the Spades 5in border die, I used to make a cross on my Communion invite on my blog; well I cannot find it on Spellbinders, is it a discontinued line? I wanted to put the name and number alongside the card but can't find it anywhere. Hope you can help. Hugs Linda xx
ps I have just found a card you made with it 'Treasured Friend' 20 Dec 2011.
Lovely card! I really like the embossed background you used, and the bow; they really add a lot to the card.
Another beautiful card Sue! Love the colour combination. Debra
