My Nicest Thoughts

 Good Sunday morning all!  Today's card is one of those quirky cards that I could just see in my head so it had to be made!  It is probably the first fully flat card I have made in ages so it may not look like my style to you.  I am trying to incorporate more things that are a bit out of my comfort zone so who knows where that may take me this year!  I started by cutting two of the largest die in the Resplendent Rectangle die set out of camel coloured card.  Next I cut a piece of camel card to fit just inside the two rectangles when they are side by side.  I used the fancy edge from them as a decorative  edge on my card.  Next I cut two of the large corner from Samantha Walker's Botanical Swirls and Accent set out of the camel card.  I cut two more out of the wine coloured card.  It is helpful to use a piece of wax paper between the die and the card when cutting these to help it release easily.  If you will notice, I left the dashed edge on my triangle piece too as I think it is quite pretty.  This edge of the die does not cut away completely so it is your choice to cut it off or leave it on when trimming the triangle.  The next step is to back each of the corners with the opposite coloured card.  Then starting in one corner, alternate them as you put them in to place, overlapping each one as you go.  This leaves you a diamond shaped area in the centre of the card.  I placed one of the dies from the Marvellous Squares in this area, then simply embossed the shape into it.  Remember my card is flat so it was easily done.  While the die was still in place, I lightly inked the area with Antique Linen distress ink.   I stamped my sentiment in the middle of the embossed area using a plum Archival ink pad.   When I do a card that is simple like this one, I can't help but think what it may look like in other colour combos like blush/ grey or teal/white or gold/taupe.  Finished dimensions are 6" x 8" in size.

 Time for more Comment Game winners!  This week the names that I drew out are:

    I love your "Nicest Thoughts" Sue and the colour combinations on this card are endless. It is stunning. I am enjoying the CHA shows from C & C and have already purchased my World Launch dies, so looking forward to receiving them, and that Seashell Embossing Folder is amazing, cant wait to see what you do with them. I still think we have the cream of Spellbinders with you.

    Morning Sue,

    As far as I'm concerned, you always think outside the box!! You never fail to surprise me with the ideas you come up with- it seems so obvious now you've done it but I would never have thought of putting 2 of the rectangles together like that for the background- brilliant!

    GM Sue - it'a must try! Watched the CHA/C&C shows last night - ordered the adorning squares and shell beauty 3D embossing folder which looks very detailed. Hope you are having a good time - wish they'd show some footage of the show and the Spellbinders stand rather than just the C&C studio.

    What a way to start a day!! Today's card is certainly a winner with me. I love the concept and the colour combo. I shall certainly be trying it out in teal and blush and then other colours too. It's a great card for any generation I think.

    Hi Sue. You may be stepping out of your comfort zone but you are still showing us fantastic cards and making us look outside the box at our dies etc. Thank you. I love this card. So suitable for so many occasions. Saw the Spellbinders launch. Great dies.( I know you are going to stun us with your take on them. Can't wait to see your ideas.) Hope we get to see something of the CHA show rather than just a studio, which could be anywhere! Take care.

    Hope you are having a great time at CHA. Hope you had chance to 'delve deep' into the Spellbinders booth, to find all the 'hidden' goodies and stuff to bring back home.
    Don't they make 'little' cards in the USA, hee hee. The sample cards are NOTHING compared with yours, you showcase the Spellbinders soooo much better, really missed you.

    If I hadn't been so "persuaded" at the last Tool Shed you did I may have managed one of the world Launch bundles yesterday but alas! I'll have to wait! Unfortunately bank managers just would not understand the MUST HAVE/CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT aspects of crafting.... LOL!

    Hi Sue, what a beautiful card, I love this one. Must say I find myself incorporating a lot of your ideas into my cards these days, like the frames on diecuts by cutting two the same size and cutting one in half, that's such a useful idea. I also love the way you combine two frames to make a larger one, as you have done here. Hope you're having a great time at CHA. Love Maddy xxx thanks for all the inspiration :-)

Enjoyed the shows last night and it was a bit of a coup getting Stacey and Kim on I thought but it did also reveal that our card making is rather more adventurous shall we say on this side of the pond! Hope you are enjoying browsing the show I'm sure we would all like to be there with you but we will await some pictures and all the new things on your return

    Morning Sue - This card is beautiful and I'm so pleased you are moving out of your comfort zone this year! You will bring us more amzazing cards I'm sure. As you say this would look good in any colour combination. Congratulations to the winners of your cards.

    Hello Sue,
    How clever overlapping the corners also putting two Resplendant Rectangles together for your base - I really like that idea.
    The colour combo is lovely, rich and classy, can also see this card working it so many colour ways.
    Thank you for all the inspiration you give us.
    Lots of love, Brenda Lel

    Wonderful card today. I love the way you think about the different ways to use the dies. The Resplendent Rectangle dies are exquisite and what a good idea to put them side by side to create the bigger shape.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

    The touch screen automatically gets turned off if you do not use the device for
    a specified period. If you are looking for the more
    practical smartphone, then you'll like to read the following Samsung Galaxy Beam overview. 99 for a 5 GB limit, and 5 cents for every additional MB that is used.

    The Canon refurbished cameras are able to provide this quality and reliability because they have been checked, repaired and serviced by their manufacturers.
    Make a list of your requirements, and then choose
    the right model for yourself. The wide open aperture should allow
    great low light shots with creative control over the aperture.
