Happy weekend! I have been playing a bit more with my Vintage Lace dies and came up with this one the other day. I am just in love with this border, it ticks all the boxes for me. I picked out a piece of some decorative paper that I had in a scrap box and started from there. I added four borders around it to create a pretty frame. I overlapped them at the corners and added some large half pearls that I had. These will be in stock in the coming weeks if you are looking for large sizes, fyi. The smaller "pearls" are my Cosmic Shimmer pearl PVA glue dots, you thought they were also pearls, didn't you? From there I cut a labels 23 die out of milk coloured card and added the matching pearl nestabling. I stamped my sentiment in black and clear embossed it. I cut this out out of labels 18. Once out of the die, I edged it with some Bundled Sage distress ink to pick up just a hint of the background colour. I mounted it with foam pieces in the centre. I had a few scraps of my background paper left for I tore two pieces into circles and scrunched them. I put a brad through the centre and inked the edges lightly with Bundled sage also. This gave me a lovely little shabby chic flower for my card. I tied a messy bow out of chalk white American seam binding and used a glue dot to attach it to my card. I topped it with my scrunched flower and pierced the edges of the card to complete it. Very girlie, but you know they are my favourite type! All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue,
Now this card "Sings" to me I love it.
Might just use this idea later for an Anniversary Card I need to make.
Have a Great Weekend
Patricia xx
Love this card. I love the way that the items used are not 'christmassy' initially.
Then again that's why I love spellbinders just for that reason.
Enjoy your weekend and I hope you are having fun.

Morning Sue, this ticks all my boxes absolutely gorgeous!
Morning Sue, what a lovely sentiment for a lovely card. The colours and use of dies look simply gorgeous, love it.

Good Morning Sue What a pretty card must agree this one sings to me as well.How can you make 2 torn pieces of paper look like such a beautiful flower I'll never know.Ohh to have just a little of your skill...
Hi Sue, don't know what's going on with Mr. Blogg this morning, first I have three comments then none, so I'll try again, I really love this card, I thin your Vintage Lace really lends itself to the sgabby chic genre. Best wishes, Lesley x
This card is stunning - everything about it appeals to me. I llove the lace border and your idea for the flower is great. Like you I love the girlie cards
What a stunning card Sue.I love it.It looks so elegant.

Morning Sue, This card is beautiful & so fresh, like to have a go myself at this particular one. Hugs xx
You're amazing - can conjure flowers up out of NOTHING I would have ever thought of.
Can't wait to buy your vintage lace dies - the minute they're out I shall pounce.
Lovely card.
Didn't like the last card with nestie bling, but this is lovely. I think it is the subtle colours of the backing paper that mean the pearls don't seem over the top. Very pretty card for any occasion xxx
No Sue we now all know how good you are with the cosmic shimmer PVA in forming the pearls! no fooling me! gorgeous card!

Morning Sue...wow this is stunning! Love it, everything about it! Have a great weekend everyone, Carole Z X
Morning Sue,
This card is one of the best I've seen. It would make a lovely wedding or Anniversary card. I love the lace die, must get it. X
I'm loving that border die, too. The shabby chic-type flower with the pearls is a wonderful combo. A special card for a special someone for a special moment....
This is a really stunning card - very me. I think it would work well as a wedding or anniversary card. The sentiment is perfect.
Very pretty card Sue. Lovely colours and pearl accents. TY.
Hi Sue
Gorgeous Gorgeous card such a pretty border made with the vintge lace dies love the colours and pearls are my favourite embellies. stunning card.

Gorgeous card, love the look of the border.
Clare x
Morning Sue, Absolutely love this card, it is GORGEOUS. This is the card that I'm going to try to copy for a friend's birthday in 2 weeks time. I love the colours, the vintage lace borders look gorgeous, I'm loving labels 18 and 23, I haven't got those yet but they're next on my list, they work perfectly with the sentiment and nestabling is just gorgeous. The bow is 'to die for', might have to get some of the American Seam Binding, the bows you make with it are absolutely beautiful. Love the large flat backed pearls, can't wait for those to be available and your pave faux pearls always look so beautiful (I still haven't given that a go yet, you make it look so easy, but I'm scared ha ha, will have to pluck up courage and give it a go). Lots of love from Patricia xx
Another lovely card Sue, that border is gorgeous!

Morning Sue,
I can see why you love this border Sue: it's just gorgeous, looks like real lace and helps make a beautiful card.
Erica x
Very pretty to have the lace border facing inwards instead of outwards. I'll look out for the larger half pearls.
Hi Sue
your not going to believe this but ordered pearls off ebay yesterday lol. How do you know these things lol. Love that boarder too. I'm getting so i cant leave the turquoise alone. Like how u brought the backing paper through to the flower.Neat trick. I recognize that sentiment and what a cracker it is.

Hi Sue,
I absolutely love this one - and with different sentiments it would be suitable for so many special occasions too. I love your Vintage Lace border, I have several pretty lace punches but I've just realised that since your dies arrived I haven't used them once! Have lots of lovely papers as well that I could get out to use with this card. So it doesn't matter if it rains, I shall be happy playing!
Thank you Sue,
Have a great weekend everyone,

Hi Sue - I love the borders on this card and the blue/white paper is so pretty. This is a really gorgeous design - however I am soooo sorry but I do not like the Nestabling. It just makes the edge look lumpy - I love the rest of the pearls but I can't take to the bling around the frame, it just spoils the look for me.
Hugs Sue Pass xx
Just love this card, it is certainly girlie. The dies are beautiful, must get these.
Hi Sue,
A truely scrumshous card, love your dies anyway so cannot go wrong and a beautiful sentiment..
