Hello crafters! Teal, lovely teal today. Today's card uses the Justrite medallion stamps throughout. I started by stamping it all over a piece of black card using a clear perfect medium pad. I clear embossed them for a bit of interest to my background. Next I stamped it on my teal card using a black archival ink pad. I covered the piece with a sticky adhesive sheet, peeled the backing paper off and covered it with micro beads for texture. I did a bit of matting and layering to help pop the piece out a bit. Then I stamped the medallion one final time in black on white card and cut it out with the matching Justrite medallion die. I stamped the frame from the Always and forever set in black ink, cut it out with the matching oval medallion die. I used broken China distress ink to highlight the edges while in the die. I mounted it in the centre with foam for dimension. I pierced the edges of the black mat as a finishing frame. Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue, Happy Friday!
I love this card, teal is my favourite colour. The way you add texture after stamping your image is brilliant and these stamps and dies are fabulous. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a lovely weekend.

Good snowy morning to you Sue, I really like teal and black cards it just seems to work. The micro beads on this card make it look like it's been frosted, very apt. Great card. Linda xxxx Stay warm and safe everyone. xxxx
What a gorgeous card here again today Sue, and awesome to see the teal color again too. It really is a beautiful color, that I like very much, so it´s sooo nice to see another person do too he he he.
Awesome creation as always hun and the stamp is also rreally great. Have a great week-end and lots of fun, I hope.
gorgeous ,simply gorgeous
Good morning Sue what a beautifull card i love every thing about this one its so dramatic. I got the teal and blush card when it was on c&c and now im addicted to the teal one. Hugs xx
Debs Artliff
Beautiful card. Love the way you have used the stamps. Lucky enough to get this card it is gorgeous.
Sue
Oh, I love this teal and black combination. Fantastic embossing but I am kinda missing a bit of something shiny, maybe few rhinestones to give it a bling. Of course now the look is masculine and would go so well as a men's card.
Hope you have a lovely and relaxing weekend. Hugs, Eemeli
Morning Sue,
I LOVE this card - the colour is my all time favourite and i just adore Justrite stamps. This card looked good when you demod it on C&C.

Morning Sue what a great card. The colours give it such a dramatic look! I love both these colours. I do have a teal colour card but didn't get it from C&C as they didn't stock it when I needed it! I made the seating plan and table settings for a charity ball my friend was doing for Bliss (babies born too small, too sick, too soon) the charity colour s a shade of teal so we used this as the main colour for the settings and table decorations etc. it was truly amazing! Hugs Sonia x
Hi Sue, I love teal and black, and it is very suitable for male cards. love the simplicity of this card. Bx
This is beautiful and I am now fully converted to Teal card and will be making it an essential part of my craft stash. Thanks Sue
Morning Sue! Teal is back, yay!!! Lovely card today(as always!). The snow has arrived here in South Gloucestershire as well...I do wish it would learn just to stay on Christmas cards! Take care all, Carole Z X
Beautiful card Sue, love that teal. Seems you have gone a bit darker with your colours, bring back the lighter shades please and brighten up our lives.

Hi Sue
Amazing what you can do with one stamp, used different ways. Smashing making your own backing paper(no one in the world will have one like it). Love the teal color. Yes like this one .

Looks like you could use this one for a man with only a bit of tweaking Sue, lovely card.x
Sue,

Hi Sue. What a great 'man' card! Real masculine. No snow here in Essex as yet but expected by afternoon. Everybody out there please keep warm and what a good excuse for staying in and 'Wilsoning' all day yipee!! Luv Linda T.
I am not sure about the black but like the style of the card

Good morning Sue
Another fabulous card I love it, it's snowing here so I think it will be a crafting day today.
Hugs x
Love the card and colours, the embossing really makes it xx
Hi Sue
I love teal and have used it with white but not black a bit too dark for me, but many others will like this colour combo.
Snow due here later today and over the weekend.
Happy crafting
Love Tina x
Hi Sue
What a beautiful card. I love the drama of the dark colours. Wonder how I can spend the weekend if we're snowed in! Best wishes, Anne O
Like this card but find using micro beads over large areas makes it heavy for posting. No snow here in north west Scotland! Yet!
Morning Sue,
Absolutely love the colour teal. Very strikingly beautiful card. X
Hi Sue,
I love the teal card mixed with the black, the pop of white just enhances the layers. Great male card.
Donna Jones
Another lovely card Sue. Suitable for the men! No snow here yet so perhaps I can go out this morning! XXX
Hi Sue.My lace medallions and star dies arrived thus week so you have inspired me to try them. I've never used black as a dominant or even a second main colour. I have played with using it but always abandon it!
Hope everyone who has the heavy snow is ok, we are clear so far down London way - pity... Could do with a forced few days at home!! Keep warm all, what's your weather like where you are, Sue?
Hugs
Annie
Hi Sue I loved the justrite medaliion set with the lacy stamps and even better when on the teal card which is so striking. Take Care Love Michelle xxx
morning Sue - Here in Burgundy we still have snow but temps are down to -6 this morning.
I now have another favourite colour in my swatch pad - TEAL - of course so today's card is really for me. The colour combo is just so right and for the male in our live ideal. My new dies are waiting for me in the UK as I will not pay £15 pounds postage for them to be delivered to me hear in France.
Janet x
Good Morning Sue. Oh I so love teal and teal with black is a dream. The micro beads are lovely.
Val in Spain xxx
Hi Sue lovely coloure suitable for mens and ladies cards alike love the lace frozen hugs Corinne brrr
Hi Sue. Teal goes great with black doesn't it, this card looks lovely. I really like the way you stamp/ emboss the same image on both the backing paper and the main paper. Enjoy your family. Take care.
Hi Sue,
My teal and blush card arrived yesterday so I can make this card, I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited. Have a lovely weekend.
Much love,
Shirley T. xxx
Really like this card, I'm totally besotted with this stamp set its just gorgeous. Although i think your recent cards are super and less complex which is also great, i find myself missing your more girly style - having withdrawal symptoms for your usual finishing touches of ribbons and bows lol! I know you said you want to live outside your comfort zone this year but I kinda love what your style is in there so please don't forsake it altogether!!!

Morning Sue, Beautiful teal card today, loving the embossing.
Snow started yesterday and it is snowing still, yuck ..... like Carole Z above, I wish it would learn to stay on Christmas Cards ha ha. Stay safe and warm.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
it's a beauty Sue :) lainey x
Hi Sue
Love the teal and the card looks really interesting textures. Really fantastic. Where do all your ideas come from as every card is different
Audrey x
Loved the card when you demo'd it and love it now..... Will definitely try it but with a different centre piece, I have plenty of SB dies to choose from.
I love these colours together Someone has commented that they felt it was a bit dark but I don't think so My girlie friends wud love it And I think it's dark enough to us for a man's card The only good thing about the weather means I can't go out & will have craft instead! Shame! Stay safe everyone x
Your fave colour, very striking card
Hi Sue,
Not sure about this one, I think I would prefer the teal which is a super colour teamed with white.
Seems like snow is expected everywhere today none in north Kent at the moment but I bet its on the way.
Keep warm and safe everyone.

Hi Sue blanket of snow covering Cardiff in S.Wales today. My little Yorkie loves it, first time he has seen it.

So guess who will be copying

I love these colours, and the texyure effect. Micro beads add a cool look. It's so o o cold out.
The stamps really combine so well with the dies - love the teal too.
Very striking card Sue, love the textures and the colour combination. Snow here too in West Wales, so a day to craft!! Anne x
GM Sue, Love the card, yesterday I used the lovely Teal card to make my version of your card from Boxing Day. I am very pleased with the out come.

simple but a very striking card xx gail from eastbourne
Good morning Sue,the teal and black card go well together and the black stamp on the teal really stands out,beautiful.Snowing heavily here now take care Sandra xx
Good morning Sue
I like the design of the card but black is not my colour. Not everyone has snow, up here in the Lake District all we have is a bitterly cold wind, much to my little grandson's dismay he has his new sledge at the ready and no snow! Take care everyone.
Margaret
Gorgeous card. I love the teal colour.
Hi Sue
I remember seeing you demo this on C & C and thought how effective it was. My new multibuy from thr CHA special arrived yesterday but C & C staff managed to pick two of one die and left out another so I now have the bother of sending one back and waiting for the missing one once I am able to get out again which I don't think will be for a few days. Had some more snow overnight here in Suffolk to add to what we have alrady had and more promised.....still at least I can't feel guilty if I spend time crafting!!
love from Jackie D
Hi Sue
Stunning card again and I lovvvvvvvvvve the Teal with black. Must have a go at this one as I have now received my stamps.

Hi sue
lovely card love the colours
thanks for your hard work
Hi Sue
Oh wow! I love this card. I've been looking for teal card without success. Apart from Create and Craft, any idea where you can buy it?
When I get some money I really must get some of the just rite stampers sets - they are incredible. I really want the set that includes the phrase to my forever friend - perfect for a few cards I can think of.
Thank you for all your incredible inspiration. You keep me going on cold, wintry days - and indeed sunny ones, when life just gets that bit too complicated.
Love
Jules

Hi Sue, What a beautiful card. I love the colour black and teal. What a lovely combination.
Hi I love this card. It's generic. The colours work for boys and girls. The simplicity of using just dies and stamps has not taken away from the usual granduer of your lovely cards. Thank you sue....
Hi Sue,
Lovely card and am finding the dimensions you give really useful - thank you.
