Hi crafty friends! I found this lone hold out from the Labels 20 shows last year. I have been trying to organise my pictures and I keep finding card pics in random folders. I started my using the Harlequin Background stamp from Justrite to create my backing paper. I stamped it using Scattered Straw distress ink. Originally, I was thinking a guy card so I made the background a bit distressed looking by spritzing it with water after I stamped it. However, as it progressed, I ended up adding lace and a bow so no more guy card! It ended up being sort of middle of the road, not really girlie, not really guyish, but I liked it okay regardless. I added a piece of black duchess lace to the side. Using the largest size of Labels 20, I cut one in black as my foundation for my focal element. Next I cut two of the Parisian Motifs in a cardstock matching my background. I overlapped them just enough so that they were peeking out from behind the layer on top of them. I stamped the Justrite stamp from the Kindness set in black archival ink on to milk card and cut it out with the matching die. Next I stamped the smaller stamp from the set, cut it out and layered it on top. I stamped the sentiment in the centre and added black labels 20 nestabling to the edge of the die. I tied a double bow out of silky crush ribbon, adding a fancy button and two stick pins to complete my bow embellishment. I pierced the edges and added a black rhinestone swirl to complete the card. I don't have the exact dimensions on this one, but it is around 7" x 8" in size (pictures were taken last year before I started using rulers to photograph my cards).
Don't forget to check the blog tomorrow as I have 12 winners names to be drawn and posted in the weekly Comment Game! All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue,
this is so beautiful. It's great how it started out as a female card and soon become a male card, it goes to show the versatility of crafting. Apart from the stamps and dies I also love the black duchess lace and black rhinestone flourish. Another winner Sue, thanks for sharing.

Hi sue, I love the labels 20theres so much you can do with it as you make it look spectacular every time. Thank you xx
morning Sue from a wet and dull Burgundy.
I do like the background to today's card - I bought a pack of kraft card with this as one of the patterns and eversince have been debating stamp or now emboss folder. I shall have to make mind mind up. As you say middle of the road - but a really good card to have in stock without the ribbon so you can add something when needed.

Lovely card Sue, I just think it's great the way you can link those parisian motifs up behind almost anything to produce at nice mat or doily. Keep up the good work, your ideas are inspirational, Linda xxx
Hi Sue, a very lovely card, background looks fab. Bx
Morning Sue, my favourite colours, this is a gorgeous card. I have the Parisian dies and have never thought about linking them like this. Very clever.

Morning Sue
I love this card those labels 20 are really useful

LOVE the overlapping Parisian motifs idea to decorate the labels. I don't have those, but I think the Venetian dies would have a similar effect. Thanks again for a great idea.
Just managed to find these stamps after a long wait so will give this one a go. Lovely colours too. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us.

Hope you're well, Sue and having a relaxing time. Hugs Annie

Silky crush ribbon always seems to finish a card off.

A lovely card Sue, very girle, nice to see the ribbon back, seems to signify a 'Sue Wilson' card, that and a pierced edge. I have tried to master the piercing thing but i struggle to get the holes looking uniform, some end up looking bigger than others, even though I use a Tim Holtz piercing tool, any tips!
Hope you have a lovely warm and sunny weekend Sue,
