Morning all! This one is almost in the clean and simple category, no where near my usual look, but I hope you aren't disappointed with it. I think it is pretty nonetheless and I just loved the negative piece from the swirl in the Jewelled Flowers and Flourish set. So I cut not one, but two of them out of my white background. I overlapped the cut so it looks like one continuous cut out. I mounted my negative piece up on foam pieces over a piece of moss green card and allowed the edges to peek out from behind. This piece I mounted on a larger white piece of card where I stamped my sentiment in the lower corner. I used the Awesome Blossom embossibility to give texture to the background. This set also has a couple of nice small butterflies in it. I covered a bit of white card with one of the sticky adhesive sheets and cut two butterflies. I removed the backing paper then micro beaded the white butterflies for a bit of texture against my flat white background. Piercing around the edges finished it off for a clean simple look. On another note, I know that we have reached our blog candy target, but I am tied up all day today, but I promise to get the winners drawn and posted by midday on Saturday. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue
You never disappoint us only inspire us. I can't wait to get my hands on this die set. I love the style of this card it is so delicate and classy.
Hugs x
Disappointed? Never, and certainly not with this beautiful card! Inspired? Impressed? Encouraged? Delighted?...... Yes, as usual.
And love your descriptions "to peek out from behind" instead of the more mundane "leave an 1/8" border". Super!
Thank you, Sue

Morning Sue, This card is beautifully clean, fresh and elegant, I love it. I have fallen in love with apertures, I used this technique recently on a crosses card, they're like a window, beautiful. Lots of love from Patricia xx

Hi Sue
I think it is a very pretty card.
Have a great day and happy crafting
Love Tina x
Good Morning Sue, Wow, that's different but very beautiful. You never dissapoint me, I'm just in awe of everything you create.
GM Sue, yes I love the cut out swirls but I think I would prefer 3 of them - I like things in 3s for some reason! 2s look a bit odd to me. I must try using an embossing folder over a stamped sentiment - I would have thought the folder pattern would distort the wording but yours seems perfect, as usual -Rgs
Clare W
Simple yes but stunning!! Love the clean cut look this card has and I'll definately need to try this style out, thank you for the great ideas Sue! x

What a beautiful, clean and simple card - you had me fooled until I read your explanation - I though the bough was one piece. I still need to get down to micro beads but other cards keep cropping up - must get to grips with them.
