Hello everyone! This is one of my favourite quick cards to make. It doesn't matter what colour you pick or what border you use, it always comes out very nice I think. I started with a piece of dusty rose coloured card and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet. I cut 6 Vintage Lace borders (you can use less if you like). I peeled the backing paper off revealing a sticky surface for my borders. I laid the borders across the card, leaving a small gap between them. Once placed, I poured micro beads over the piece so they stuck to all the remaining area on the piece. I cut a small labels 20 out of white card and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the vintage lace tags. I inked it with Victorian Velvet distress ink as well. I added some pearl Labels 20 nestabling to the edge and mounted the two pieces together and placed them in the lower corner of my card. For the top corner, I tied a double bow out of our satin edged organza ribbon and added a large round Dazzler to the centre. I pierced the edges and added some flatback pearls to all the small holes in the edges of the borders to complete the card.

May have been quick and easy for you Sue but still looks a dream.
Wow, love this one Sue.
Where do all your beautiful ideas come from
Hi Sue, hope your flight went well. Love this card. I have used the beaded border before on a card but the vintage lace border looks superb.

Good Morning Sue,
Now this card "Sings" to me. Might even have a project for today that this will be ideal for.
Thank you for all your great inspiration.

Sue,
It would be great fun to receive a card like this one. Very nice. Hope FL is fun!

GM Sue, I've been waiting for this one to appear on your blog - I didn't see your demo of it on C&C but I did spot it in the samples that were shown to camera and it caught my eye immediately. Absolutely lovely - it's a must try for me.
Also, thx to Sue Higgins who gave an idea on ydays blog comments for how to design inserts to coordinate with the front card design - a good idea and I know how to do it I think! But what's inside a Sue Wilson card I am wondering?.......

morning Sue and all the bloggers, what a lovely delicately lacey card, i love the way the micro beads tone down the colours in the background and this die certainly is very delicate almost like lace xx gail
Hi Sue, yet another inspirational idea for use of the dies. Still don't have micro beads - on my wish list, it is getting longer. Bx
Good Morning Sue,
The vintage lace border die makes this style of card very pretty, love the colours, very elegant, love the shade of colour of the bow, everything is just lovely.
Have a good day everyone

Love the colour and looks like it was really really quick!

Stunning card ,I`m having to craft on my cuttlebug at the moment as G.C is broken have just heard from Spellbinders so hope it will be fixed soon as it`s not a year old yet. Melanie
I think this is one of my favorites, too, though I don't think it would be as easy for me as it is for you. Lovely colors and textures. The bow is gorgeous, as always. Thanks for sharing it.
Hi Sue,
wonderful card, just love everything about it. I love using that ribbon to make a bow it really looks very nice on the cards doesn't it. Have a great crafty sunny day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
This looks great! I've never thought of this. Thanks for the idea!
Fab Card, I'd love to see a photo of your "stash" You can't possibly keep dashing out to find co-ordinating elements. The "stash" will be bigger still after your trip to the U.S. of A. lol Enjoy...we always enjoy what you show us.Thanks, Mabex

Hi Sue, I like the way you have placed the borders back to back with a small space in between. This design could be recreated in any colour with any border dies. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sue,
This is a really pretty card. I love the combination of colours
You have used on it and think it would look striking in very BOLD colours.
I love the Vintage dies and seem to be using them on more and more of my cards.!!!

very elegant card love the colour combo.also all the little pearls look so nice around the edges.and the bow of corse love the border die still trying to find this set but will have to wait till they come up on the web.I will be ordering the mica beads next.just recived my 2nd lot of masks today the dotty ones this time.anyway have a great time at your mums.
Love Carol xxx
This is lovely - I also use borders and very little else, but your use of the mica beads is lovely - another thing for me to copy. Don't forget, to copy is the sincerest form of flattering.
This is beautiful in it's simplicity although it does look very intricate, which is due to the amazing spellbinder dies.
Jan
Hi Sue, A beautiful card you'r right
it would great in any colour, navy

Hi Sue, I love this card..I dont have these dies yet but am going to use this layout with the borders I have today as got to do a thankyou card and this layout is perfect! Please keep on inspiring us each day with your fab creations..:)..Enjoy your day...xxx
Hi Sue. This is a lovely card!! What great use of the border dies. I do really like the colours you have used too. I have bought your neutral colour cardstock pack and I am really hoping you may consider bringing out another pack with some of the other wonderful colours that you use in your cards. I love the Teal that you use and the Burgandy, the Rose and other colours. I think lots of people would be interested. You have really helped me to try out colour combinations that I would never have put together before. You have also given me more confidence with using colour. Thank you for all your inspiration Love Tres x x x
lace always works for me , fab card "!"!
Brilliant idea - very pretty. Are you sure it was quick and easy Sue!!!
Love it - I have to make a quick card so am off to my craft room to dig out a border die to try a similar design. I don't have any microbeads so will have to improvise! Thank you for the idea xx
Gorgeous card and it does't look like a quick make! Carole Z X
This is lovely......and pink! A different colour for you for a while at least.
I love the effect the borders make used this way.
This is beautiful Sue - the pieces are so simple, it just goes to show that you can make a superb card just by the way you use them. The colour is gorgeous with the microbeads on top and ..... I even like the pearly bits around the die this time!! LOL
Hugs Sue Pass xx
such a simple beautiful card, amazing what you can do with only a few border dies, stunning well done xxx

Hope you're having a great time with your mom xx Love Karen xx
