Morning bloggers! I had planned on doing this one as a demo in the shows in December, but we didn't have any micro beads in stock at the time. It is a small card by my standards, but I found this piece of decorative background paper that was only 5" x 5" in size so I started with that. It has a very vintage feel to it with the blue design on the cream coloured background, but I decided it was calling out to be micro beaded. I cut two of the Asian Motifs out of milk coloured card. On one of them I used the smaller die in the centre to cut a frame. I inked the shapes with Stormy Sky distress ink while still in the die. Next I used the Fancy Lattice background die with blue card to cut a piece to put in the Asian frame on top. Using the French Frills stamp set by JustRite, I stamped the thank you tag. I cut it out with the matching French frills die set. While in the die, I inked it with Stormy Sky ink. This left a pretty milk coloured border around it. The tag cuts in two pieces so I popped the sentiment part up on foam pieces for dimension and left the tag frame flat. I added flatback pearls to the corners of the tag. I mounted the tag across the centre of my Asian Motifs which I had stacked and offset. I tied a pretty little bow out of the cream silky crush and added a heart Dazzler and stick pins to it. I added the bow to the side of the card with glue dots. I finished the corners with flatback pearls of 3 and 5mm sizes using the dries clear Cosmic Shimmer glue to adhere them to the micro beads. I matted the entire piece on a larger piece of blue card. You will get a laugh out of this, but I can't leave a pierced edge on the last mat on my card (it's a weird quirk, I know), but I didn't have enough of this card to add another mat behind it so no piercing this time. I think it really needs it, but I hope you will let me slide this once! LOL Finished dimensions are 6" x 6" in size.
I thought that it was about time to do another card giveaway today! All you have to do is leave a comment today and you will be entered in the drawing to win this card. It's as simple as that! I will do the drawing and announce the winner later in the week, don't forget to check back! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, this card is totally stunning, what more can I add? Carole Z X
Morning Sue, what a beautiful card. I am really into microbeads at the moment. You started me off with your black and white "Thinking of you" card on 4 January the one with the JustRite lace medalion stamps. I LOVE that card and did it for my daughter-in-law's 30th birthday card last week. She loved it too. Have a lovely day.
Elizabeth x
Hi Sue, stunningly beautiful and elegant. Love the layout with the dies. Bx
Good morning Sue
I agree with Celina Dee this is the best card for 2013 (so far), I love that you have made a smaller card because of the cost of posting I tend to make my cards smaller these days, so thanks Sue
Hugs x
Stunning card, I love using my micro beads. They go on most of my cards, although sometimes I use crystal glitter (glamour dust), especially on Christmas cards.
Take care
Gorgeous Sue.
Best for 2013 so far.
Love it.
A beautiful card Sue. Everything about it is gorgeous. Love it!
I just love this Wedgewood blue colour and this is a stunning card. Love what you did with the shapes. Thanks Sue!
Hi Sue. Beautiful card. I love the shade of blue that you have used. Take care.
Another lovely card, Sue. Inking the card while in the die has really brought out the shape and charm of this one.
lovely card as always - quite like a smaller card for a change

Hi Sue This is lovely , a subtle colour and lovely shapes. Makes a change to see a smaller card too.
morning Sue
What a great card to start a very dull and wet day here in Burgundy with. I love the colour and the format - the format takes you right into the middle of the card and so you see a little something each time you look. No crafting today as it has to be a shopping day but hope to find something I can use in craft whilst doing so.
Janet x
Small is certainly beautiful!

Fabulous card. I know blue is my favorite color but you sure have used such a fantastic a bit darker shade of it that I absolute love! I bet it is not a surprise that I am a total fan about this card.
Hugs from Finland, Eemeli
Hi Sue, this card doesn't give me the blues, even on a Monday. I like the size and dies used but although I usually love your bows I think this one is maybe a little overpowering. I'm sure it is more appealing in the flesh.
Frances
Gorgeous card, the details are amazing. How kind of you too, I'd love to win this card especially as it's my favourite colour too! Great work as always Sue, makes me smile! Take care Zo xx
I struggle to use my Spellies with coloured card and this is gorgeous x

Morning Sue, 8x8 and 6x6 are my favourite card sizes, so it was great to see your smaller card today. I know your New Year's resolution was to challenge yourself by working outside of your comfort zone. Maybe some more smaller cards would be a super way to meet that challenge. I for one would love to see more of your mini masterpieces.
Great card. I have a lot of 6 x 6 card to use up so this is just right. Haven't as yet got the Asian dies, but hope to get these this week. If I was lucky enough to win this week I would frame the card for my new craft room. Take care. Linda T. x
This is stunning Sue, The pearls and pins are just the job for finishing off.
Morning Sue, I love the Asian motif dies and this is a beautiful card. If I won it it would take pride of place on my craft room wall.
Love Rosemarie xx
Morning Sue, this is gorgeous I love the beautiful dies and the ribbon and pins. The heart dazzler is wonderful.

Good morning Sue
What a beautiful card that can be used for any amount of occasions wonderful! I have all the dies so I am off to have a try, thank you.
Margaret
Oh, I do like this card, such a lot. I love everything about it. I wish I had all the dies and stamps that you have Sue. Funnily enough, the thing I like most about your cards is the piercing and this one doesn't have any. I still think it is lovely. I would love to learn how to pierce, I have Tim Holtz's ruler and a piercing tool but I would love to see you do it. Could you do it on C & C one day? Or a tutorial on You Tube would be great - please. Thank you,love Sheila xxxxxx
What a stunning card - you are so talented!
What a stunning card - you are so talented!
It's all beautiful, and I don't think anyone would really miss the piercing around the edge ;)
Love this card Sue - colour, design and adaptability. Without the girly bow and pearls it could easily be adapted into a male card.
Morning Sue, good thing come in small packages and I think it is a a stunning card as usual. Keep thm coming and thank you.

Hi Sue I love everything about this card,I do not have the dies but I think I can do it with the persian die ,will have a try.I know what you mean about the piercing ,you feel the card is not finished,but it is also your trademark.we all miss seeing you on c.C. ,thank you for all the inspiration

Hi Sue
I really love smaller cards and this is a stunning example that small can be beautiful.
Your designs are always so special.
Lovely card. First impression was what a difficult card to make but reading through the details I think I could master this one but using a different die as I do not have the Asian Motifs.
similar colour to yesterdays BUT oh what a difference a day makes lol...........love this one...would love to own this one too.....you do have a great talent & thanks for sharing it with us blog followers.
Hello Sue
This is a really beautiful card and even though it is smaller than you usually make it still has the "Sue Wow Factor"! The colours and all the extras on the cards really make it look stunning.

Hi Sue,
I REALLY like all of this design. It's a beautiful motif, the decorative paper, colours and other elements are harmonious. I've come to the conclusion that I do prefer square formatting whether 6x6 or 8x8.

Well you said you wanted to craft outside of your comfort zone and as you have not pierced this card, you are on your way to achieving this!
Today's card is brilliant without the piercing!
I hope you having a lovely time with your mum.
Missing you here though, Sam's shows on Saturday were brilliant, I would love to see what you could do with the Sherlock stamps!
