Morning all! I missed seeing some of the Hearfelt Creations dies so I thought I would bring this one back to enjoy for today's post. I started by using the letterpress technique to create my background. I inked up the negative side of the embosibility folder using Antique Linen distress ink. I placed my milk card into the folder and ran it through the Grand Calibur. This transferred the ink onto my card in the recessed portions of the embossed card. I ties a piece of black striped grosgrain ribbon around the card and taped the ends to the back. I stamped my sentiment below the ribbon. I ties a double bow and added it to my ribbon with a glue dot. I tied a piece of twine through a button and placed it in the centre of my bow. I cut one of the Heartfelt Creations decorative window in milk card and added foam mounting pieces to the back. I used the Bitty Blossom dies in an assortment of milk and taupe and made an array of flowers for the window. I cut six of the leaves from the set and added them around the base of the flowers. I pierced the edge of the black mat to complete the card. I may just have to bring these dies out again for another play with them! All for now, Sue xFriday, 29 June 2012

Fantastic card! I only discovered your work this week (where have i been??) and I love it. So sophisticated - great bow! Happy Friday. Scrappyjen x
Definitely a SueBow card! The frame with the flowers is fantabulous!! I'm trying to use a new superlative for your cards because we have to use the same 3 or 4 all the time and they don't seem to do them justice! x
hi Sue, love this design. I keep meaning to trying this technique for embossing. I may just make it happen this weekend! thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Sue, I really like this card. I have this die but have not used as yet, had a bit of a block with it, it was part of a C&C collection, and until now have been a bit stuck with it. Now I know I shall use it. Thank you for the inspiration it's just what I need to get me going. Best wishes, Lesley x

Have a Great Day

I love your bows Sue, must practice them myself to make them as good as yours
Morning Sue, Another beautiful card, I just love the letterpress technique, it's beautiful, I will have to give this a try soon (although sounds a bit frightening ha ha suppose it's trial and error, with me it will be error and error ha ha !!). I just love the Heartfelt Creations die, I bought it because I loved what you have done with it on other cards, just gorgeous, and of course the beautiful bow, just beautiful. Lots of love from Patricia xx
Everyday you amaze us with your beautiful cards and todays no exception. I have the bitty blossom die but cant seem to do my flowers as stunning as yours. must practice more. Love the technique of the embossing with ink and the bow is fab. What would we do without your fantastic inspiration.
stunningly beautiful as usual
Hi Sue, this card is quite simply stunning, even by your standards! Absolutely gorgeous! Carole Z X
Wow! I must try the letterpress technique as the effect is stunning but subtle and the Bitty Blossoms are gorgeous! Thank you Sue!

Good Morning Sue, what a classy card. Love everything about it. I have this die and to be honest it's still in the packet but it will be getting an airing today. You've inspired me yet again Sue.
Very Beautiful, love the colour combo the flowers are lovely.
Jane xx
Love how the letterpress worked out with the linen distress, so subtle! Yes please bring more HC back, and some of their stamps?? Your roses are to die for and the colour combo is fab, very classy!
This is a truly stunning card and I love it. The flowers, the bow, the die - perfect! Definitely a "me" card!
morning Sue - at the moment it's dull but very warm here in Burgundy
Don't these colours go so well together - I have tried inking the embos folders but not had a great deal of success so am going to try again we'll see how I get on.

I dont have the window die as I didnt really know what to do with one- but having seen this card- WOW I definately need one!! Thanks for your inspiration and for brightening my day. Oh to be at home crafting- work is so inconvenient- but without it- no dies haha!

Absolutely love this card, very classy. Janx
Hi Sue, a lovely, lovely card. It's a real joy looking in on your creations every day, thank you.
Hugs Sue M xx
fab card , fab flowers, color love this one
A beautiful card, and in addition to the colours chosen my computer gives me an alternative. I'm sure the taupe scheme looks lovely, but the flowers and the paler stripes on the ribbon look grey on my screen, and are scrummy. I have two examples from one demo, so even better than usual!
Thank you, Sue

Morning Sue, not often I get to say morning.....LOL usually late in the day before I am on. SIMPLY GORGEOUS card Sue love it all.
Meant to tell you that you have created havoc in our local craft shop, whom after selling all sets of poinsetta dies they had in stock, getting more and selling them, they still have a wating list of 59 people...... All because of a certain lady - now I wonder who that could be.

LOVELY CARD SUE LOVE THE COLOURS HAVE A NICE WEEKEND
Stunning card
I use these bitty blossoms all the time, very versatile
I like using them with the Anemone dies

Love that die-cut - and the bitty blossoms work really well. I'm afraid it looks like I'm the only one who doesn't really like the ribbon/bow :(
Hi Sue,
This is lovely. Just to let you know after yesterdays card I finally plucked up the courage and used my mica beads for the first time - I can see now why you rave about them so much they are fab - I'm hooked too now.
Beverley W
WOW!!!
Sue B
Hi Sue I have to confess that I am not a fan of the large bow on this card - I think it detracts from the totally gorgeous die cut and flowers. Maybe I would have used that crinkle ribbon instead. However I still love the sentiment and the main part of your card, it is superb. I'm now going to have a go with the letterpress technique.
Hugs Sue Pass xx
Those flowers are just lovely, a fabulous card
What a fabulous card!
What a fabulous card!
Gorgeous I just love the way you do your layouts. xxx

Totally agree with you there Sue, I am so pleased to see these dies again and what you do with them is just amazing. LilyLou
Hi Sue,
I really like using my bitty bossoms and it shows well here as being smaller flowers you can create quite an impact with a few of them.Really nice card
love from Jackie D

Could pick this card out as a Sue Wilson from a whole bunch of cards.
Lovely card Sue :)
The Heartfelt dies are stunning and your card is pretty amazing too! A x
Hi Sue. This is a lovely card. The heartfelt dies are great but I do love the flowers. I am definitely a flower person and I just seem to love all the spellbinder flower dies that they make!! I really like the colour combination too. I have recently bought a pack of your neutral colour card stock and it looks to me like you have used most of the colours from it!! A beautiful card love Tres x x x
Hi Sue,I have The heartfelt dies and they are great, I do love the bitty blossoms flowers so they're on my wish list. A lovely card.
Joan B.
Hello Sue,
Missed your blog for the last two days (looking after grandchildern - back home now) Love all the cards I have missed and todays is no exception the Bitty Blossoms are georgeous and now on my wish list and the bow is beautiful. This card has your name all over it! a real Sue Wilson
Thanks for all your inspiration,

Hi Sue, this is a lovely card , love the flowers, love the Bow, just love it all. take care vanessa xx
Fabulous card. Didn't used to be keen on ribbons and bows but since having seen your creations I have changed my mind!!
How do you tie those lovely double bows?
Yet again another stunner! what more can I say? ;-))
best wishes.xx
What a lovely card, those flowers are so pretty. I think any friend would be over the moon to see this arrive on the door mat.
Hi Sue, love this card. The milk and black card go so well together and the flowers, ribbon and die are fantastic. I have managed to sneak away from my 2 bundles of fur as they have finally decided they are tired. I have looked on my I Phone every day to see what creation you have made but I am unable to leave a comment using my phone and my 2 puppies take up my whole day and night until bedtime. The Christmas cards and the ones using your Vintage Lace dies are brilliant and really fire my imagination, hopefully I will have some free time soon to start crafting again. LOL Lynne M x x x x
Hi Sue, yet another stunning card, the flowers look fab and such a great colour combinations, i just dont know how you come up with all the ideas xx
hi Sue I think this card is absolutely stunning Keep up the great work
Good evening Sue,
I had a go with the Letterpess idea today. After the 3rd attempt I finally got it right.
My card looks good but not quite as good as yours. Practice makes perfect as they say.......off to practice.
