Hi bloggers! Back to teal today (can't stay away too long!) I love the combo of black and white and teal so today's simple card appeals to my love of those colours. It is a simple straight forward layout where I used a background of teal card, showing a wide border behind my square of embossed white card. I used the Garden Lattice embossibility. Even though it is A4 size, you can do a whole sheet and then just use small pieces like this as you need them, a real time saver! I cut a black Marvellous square which has these lovely little pieces on the edge that I used to weave my white silky crush ribbon through. I matted it with a teal piece cut from the set. I stamped my sentiment and then cut it out with one of the other pieces from this set, using the larger outer die to cut the outer edge. I inked it with Broken China distress ink while still in the die. I turned it so it was a different orientation to the piece below it and mounted it using foam pieces. This finished my focal element for my card. I tied a double bow out of the white silky crush ribbon, added two stick pins and one of the new teal Dazzlers for the centre. You can colour the clear Dazzlers, but you can't get them to the same colour intensity of these. They come in a bunch of colours and they are lush, let me tell you! They have just arrived at the Creative Expressions warehouse so local retailers should have them in stock soon. I am trying to get them added to my next set of shows which are scheduled for the 15th through the 18th. I will have them at the show in Kettering (at the conference centre) next weekend. I am trying to get this teal card to have on the stand too! I am really excited about this show as it is brand new, close to home so no hotel for me and my stand is huge so there will be plenty of room! There is a free shuttle bus from the Kettering train station that runs all day Sat. and Sunday to take you back and forth to the show too! Please stop by and say hi to me at my "Rubbernecker" stand where I will be demoing both Saturday and Sunday! All for now, Sue x

Your card is lovely I have the dies and embossing folder so will give it a try.

ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card Sue. You will have to have capsule collections in the different colours! and the card to match too! along with all the matching embellishments! That way we could get the whole kit and kabodle together in out favourite hue!. Sorry Sue, just meandering through my imagination.

Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteGreat card again. Your talent is endless. You are an inspiration. Loving the teal. X
Lovely card yet again. Shame all these shows are too far away for me to visit. How about you persuading craft suppliers to showcase in the Bristol area? We only seem to get the smaller shows from local shops.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely talk with This card says "beautiful masculine" (minus the bow and dazzler) to me. It's right up my street.
You've done it again, your creativity is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
Whoops! Forgot to had my name to my comment.
ReplyDeleteGreat card again. Your talent is endless. You are an inspiration. Loving the teal. X

Love that dazzler! what a stunning colour, and the card isn't bad too!
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, once again you have come up trumps, love the colours. Take care, Jess xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteGreat card and colour combo. Not sure about the ribbon weave, not my cup of tea. Love the big messy bows but not a fan of the weaves, sorry, but I'm sure most people will just adore it. Thank you for the inspiration x
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card - I love the teal, white & black combination. The teal dazzlers look gorgeous. Couldn't get the lattice embossi ng folder(sold out)but suppose could use the tie the knot one instead. Speaking of embossing folders - managed to get the grand dainty dots one last night on C&C website - must have either got another batch of them or had some returned. Anyway it was good news for me!
Nice card,I have this die so may try this one.
ReplyDeletexxx
lovely card Sue have a fab time at Kettering shame i cant make it but like all others would like some teal card for sale please
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteLove this Teal colour, maybe you could get a pack made up with the blues you used yesterday PLEASE it would be a sell out, like the Gold was at Ally Pally!
This is a beautiful card the matt and layering makes a lovely frame and really sets it off, the die cuts and embossing are as always fantastic, not sure about the ribbon weaving- Sorry!
Have a good day, Love BrenLel
Morning Sue, i love teal and ive been using it alot in my xmas cards. Lovely card, great layout and design. Emma
ReplyDeleteyet another stunning card sue,love the colours and that bow xx gail in eastbourne
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. This is a delight. The teal and black and white is so dramatic. Not sure about the ribbon, I think it's a bit too much and just the bow would have been fine. But then why waste those great holes in the die? Wish I could get to the shows but just can't so will have to wait for you to come back to C&C. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue...yes teal is the color...not sure about the ribbon at the sides...Coredinations do a similar color of teal in light and dark shades and it goes well with teal pva glue and the teal silky crush ribbon.
ReplyDeleteTake care. Deborah.H. :)
What a lovely card. I love the colors. I've been thinking about, what makes your cards into something above other cards. Of course your compositions are always very good, but something just as important is all the layers on the card. There are always 6-10 layers in matching colors, and that probably is what makes your cards a grade above others. Thanks for teaching us how to make our cards that bit more expensive looking :))
ReplyDeleteLovely card, as usual, Sue. I really like what you have done with the ribbon too. xx
ReplyDeletelovelly card
ReplyDeletelovelly card
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Lovely card once again, think the ribbons on the side a bit too much though (only my opinion), but look forward every day to see what you have made.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card love the colours.Must add my voice to the plea for teal card on your shows please.
Nice collection , I just to say Big Thanks for this wonderful blog
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, I love everything about it, the colour, the dies used, the pins and of course, the lovely bow! xxx

Hi Sue. This card is great. I love the colours. Teal is one of my favorites. You have made very clever use of the decorative dies. Please could you get some teal card for your c+c shows. Please could you consider putting together a coloured card pack for c+c. I am sure lots of people would want one. (or two.!! ) Lovely card, love Tres x x x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always Sue
ReplyDeletexx Sandra
Hi Sue,love this colour combo too,so pretty.Beautiful card again.Laura O
ReplyDeleteSince looking on the blog I have found so many things that I like, but I've also discovered things I like less. I find I am more attracted to 'softer' cards, this one is too square, has stoo many sharp angles, - and I'm not fond of ribbon weaving either, so this card is not for me. Not today, anyway, may love it tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue
Christine

Lovely Sue just Lovely. Hugs Sheila.x
ReplyDeleteVery nice simple card. It could easily become masculine with a change in the bow.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Loving the colour xx
ReplyDeleteAfternoon Sue
ReplyDeleteThis is another colour of card i just cant get.Maybe you could get a pack of card together like Ruby Teal among others.When you live in the far NE of Scotland we rely on C&C for mostly everything as there is not that much of craft shops around.
This is a really stunning Card Sue love everything about it.Take care x
One of my favourite colours too - that teal is the exact same colour as the trousers I have on lol! Love the card, glad to hearvthatbyou have some more shows coming up. Maddy x

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBlack seems to set every other colour off so beautifully and the teal is no exception. Fab design shows off the colours and the die shapes.

Love this card Sue but personally would leave out the ribbon weaving as it doesnt need it. The Dazzlers are gorgeous and the Teal colour is beautiful.

ReplyDeleteGod Bless
