Hi Bloggers! I was busy yesterday adding some tutorials that I had done to the top section of my blog. I had some help with it, but I finally learned how to do it. There are a couple more that I need to add, but hopefully this will make it easier for you to refer back to them in the future.
For today's card it's a floral frenzy of sorts! I love this colour combo myself, grey and a warm peach tone. I started by cutting the fancy Lattice background die out of dark grey card. I extended the pattern by an inch or two so I would have room for all my flowers. I left an edge to the background so I had room for mounting foam to raise it for dimension. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the resplendent Rectangle dies. I inked it with Tattered Rose and Rusty Hinge to get the colour to match my flowers. I cut the larger shape in the Resplendent Rectangles to mat my sentiment. I used a combination of cardstock and felt and the Jewelled Flowers and Flourishes and Spiral Flower Four to make my flowers. I added some flatback pearls to the centres of some of the flowers. I tied a messy bow from the white seam binding and tucked it under the corner flower. I cut a few accents from the Jewelled Flowers to use as accents for my flowers. I used a single butterfly from the set as an accent in peach for my sentiment. I used a pale grey as a mat for my card and pierced the inner layer to finish off my piece. This is one of my favourite cards, I hope you like it too! Finished Dimensions 8" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue,
Stylish, beautiful colour combination soft and saying it with flowers. what a card! Hours of love put into this!
I know because over the last two days I have been translating my thoughts with these very dies but in different colours, matt gold, crimson and white. I think I have cracked the flower production, albeit after trying numerous mats for 'cupping'.
I have a file of some of your tutorials, but thank you so much for this easy access, you generous Lady.
Lis xx
Love, love, love this card! Love the colours, love the lattice background, the resplendant rectangles, the sentiment, the piercing and the inking. And not forgetting those simply gorgeous flowers! Off to look at your tutorials now, thanks Sue!!
