Hello my crafty friends! Today's card showcases several different die sets, including my one of my favourites, the Venetian Motifs. I started with a simple embossed background using the A4 Garden Lattice Embossibility in taupe card. I rounded the corners and matted it on a piece of red card. I wrapped a piece of black duchess lace around the left side and secured the ends to the back of the card. From there, I began working on my focal element by cutting two Venetian Motifs out of black card (don't forget to use wax paper with these as they are very detailed and fine). I cut both of the dies in half. Next I cut a large Labels 28 out of red card. I stamped each end with one of the JustRite Botanical Swirl stamps using a black archival ink pad. I mounted the cut pieces of the venetian motifs so that they were peeking out from behind the label shape. I let the small curly parts of the die hug around the label shape too. Next I stamped the same Botanical swirl stamp on to taupe card using a black archival ink pad. I stamped my sentiment in the centre. I cut this out with the matching Samantha Walker designed die. I inked the frame with Antique linen while still in the die. The inside of this frame also cuts out so I turned it so the points were offset and mounted it with 3D foam. I added some flatback pearls as accents. To add a bit more red to my card, I tied a messy bow out of the Lipstick red seam binding ribbon and added it to the bottom of my lace border. I added a black Dazzler to the centre and two black stick pins. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size. Just because, it says it all!
I just want to say that I realise how precious time can be around this time of year. It always seems as if there is far too much to be done and we are always trying to get everything finished before those holiday deadlines! So I really want to thank you for giving me some of your valuable time to pop by the blog. Your daily comments are such wonderful gifts to me. All for now, Sue x

Have a Great Day

ReplyDeleteI just love today's colour scheme - although I generally use softer schemes I have used today's for impact and what an impact. I have to confess that I seem to use the ven.dies more than other sets even though they are a little fiddly but well worth the effort.

It's true that time is precious at this season but I, for one would not miss my 'Sue fix' first thing in the morning. It sets me up for the day and may be the only 'me time' that I have. Thank you Sue for all the time and effort which it must take to post a new card every day. Your dedication is much appreciated by so many of us I'm sure.
Erica x
Time is precious at this time of year As you say Sue, but I wouldn't miss the few moments it takes to see what you have to show us each morning.
ReplyDeleteToday's card is so appropriate, and will be very useful for many occasions. Having just heard that the husband of a longtime friend died a few days ago this card will be just right to send condolences as well as thanks for so many things.
Lovely card sue.

ReplyDeleteA very opulent card with a burlesque sensuality to it , absolutely beautiful! It's such a joy to visit your blog I can't imagine not finding the time for it. You brighten my day & I look forward so much to viewing the delightful creations that inspire me so much.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. What a gorgeous card today !! I love every thing about it. It would make a great valentines day card. I love the dies that you have so cleverly matched together and the bow is just fab !! I think I would have had to use that beautiful Venitian border die too instead of the lace to match the topper. Lots of Love Tres x x x

Gorgeous card Sue, this blog is an addiction which I have had since you started it. Like everyone else your blog is a daily routine for me although I tend to go on it late afternoon after walking the dog. Thre arent many blogs where you can rely on the owner to post a new card everyday without fail. I dont think you realise just how popular this blog is and how highly everyone thinks and admires your talent.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue...Gorgeous card today..Love the colours and some of my favorite dies...I also love looking at your blog. Thanks again for sharing and all the inspiration that you give.

Hi Sue, Fabulous card. I am really getting into red, black & white cards. They really stand out on the mantelpiece. I'm putting this straight on my inspiration wall. With love & light Theresa. H
ReplyDeleteVery elegant - and it's got a black Dazzler on it! I don't think I've ever made a red,black and white card but I must - it's a smart and sophisticated combination I think.
