Welcome Home

  Hi bloggers,  I must confess to having too many favourites from these shows, but this one could top my list from the bunch.  I just love the wedgewood blue and white together, so fresh and bright.  I found this paper while in Florida this past trip and it was just so different, I instantly fell for it.  I covered it with a sticky sheet and beaded it right up!  I stamped my sentiment on white card and joined the two pieces with tape and wrapped my satin ribbon around at the join.  I tied a double bow, added a pearl embellishment and adhered it to the left side of my card.  I stamped the doorway scene from Heartfelt in black.  Rather than colouring the scene, I merely inked the edges of it with Stonewashed blue Adirondack ink.  I cut one of the Decorative Window dies from Heartfelt in white card.  I glued my window over my scene and trimmed away the excess card.  Now this window is not actually designed to fit this scene, however, you can easily pare the two if you just cover the edge lines with a few flowers!  I cut multiples of the two smallest Floret dies using the same decorative paper from my background.  I inked the cut outs with the matching stamps to give them more interest.  I used a stylus and a foam mat to give my flower dies a bit of shape.  Using two die cuts for each flower, I glued them together offsetting the petals and added a flatback pearl to each of the centres. I made several smaller white flowers using the tiny posy die from the Layered Posy die set.  These are absolutely great for that tiny floral embellishment you need from time to time, don't underestimate it!  I glued my decorated window onto my background and pierced the edge of white mat to finish my card.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. 

Now I have finally had a chance to get  everything caught up for the blog candy contest drawing!  Starting with THIRD place prize, the winner is..................................

    Stunning card again, I too love the blue and white together and like the idea of only inking the edge of the scene! I am not very good at colouring so this is a great tip.
    Congratulations to all the lucky winners, enjoy your prizes.

    Good Morningt Sue and all the wilsonettes

    Congratulations Patricia and the runners up you will have a great time this next week!!!

    This card although lovely is a little to busy for me I am afraid but I adore the wedgewood blue ( my mum loved wedgewood so I grew up in a house filled with it)

    Well I have finally caught up on all the shows now and they were ABSOLUTELY F-A-B-U-LOUS!!! Thank you so much for all the hints and tips and for the very clear and precise demos of the techniques; a veritable treasure trove.

    I can't wait to see the next batch of shows; am I being greedy? :(
    You will need to visit Mom later in the year after all this.

    Crafty Hugs to a lovely lady.

    I love every element you have used and how you've put them together, we would never know the stamp doesn't actually fit, as you've disguised it so artfully!
    I'm loving the colour..gorgeous!

    Sorry your recent shows are over...but looking forward to your next ones!

    Hi Sue

    Gorgeous card love the blue and white so fresh. I like the blue and white damask paper you have used in the background and love the idea of colouring the inside window scene with the Adirondack
    blue ink then it all matches so beautifully. This has to be one of
    my favourites from the shows.
    Have a lovely weekend hope the weather is kind to you.
    Congratutlations to all the lucky winners.

    I loved this card when I first saw it this week - what is there not to love! - Blue and White one of my most favourite colour schemes and has so many moods to be used on so many occasions. I must really get around to stamping behind windows as it is something I never think about doing.

    Morning Sue,
    love the colours on this card and great idea if the background doesn't quite match to cover up with flowers. Off to get my dies and stamps out!
    All the best.

    Congratulations to you lucky ladies, what a treat to start the weekend with!
    I am loving the colours of this card Sue, such a gorgeous blue! Your shows this week have inspired me to sit in that craft room and create! I have been scrolling back through months of your blog for inspiration and ideas for combining dies!
    I am already excited for your next shows, I would love to know what you will be demo'ing! I hope it's not that
    Blockbuster that they have been flogging for what ses like months!
    I would like to say have a relaxing weekend, but I am sure you are working your socks off prepping for your next shows!
    Crafty hugs,
