Morning all! You just had to expect something made with
teal card to be showing up here at any time, didn't you? I can't go too long without playing with it. In fact, when I first tried out my set of
Radiant Rectangles, this is the card I started with. I just wanted to see what they looked like when cut and I was not disappointed. I love the beautiful cut away areas they give you so I decided to make it the focal point on my rather simple card. Not to mention that there is such a pretty impression made on the outside of the die too. You may not always use the leftover bits, but when you do they are rather spectacular. In the centre of my
teal card, I used the die just inside out the largest one to cut this pretty decorative frame in my card. I did use the next size down to emboss the design too, but it is not as visual until you see the close up. I cut the next die in the set in
black card and mounted it with foam in the centre. I stamped my
sentiment (from the Creative Expressions set called Classic Sentiments) on
coconut white card with a
Black Archival ink pad. I covered it with a
double sided sticky adhesive sheet and cut it with the oval die in the middle of the
Radiant Rectangle set. Once cut, I peeled off the backing paper and covered it with
clear micro beads for texture. I mounted this piece in the middle to complete my focal element. I used some leftover bits of
black silky crush ribbon and cut them into small circles. With my heat tool, I melted them slightly then glued them together to form small flower embellishments for my card. I glued a
flat back white pearl in to the centre of each flower and attached them to my card with sticky glue dots. I added a white mat to show through the cut out areas and then finished with a double black mat. I used
Cosmic Shimmer black PVA glue to create faux pearls all the way around the edge of the card. I added a couple of
flat back pearls to the corners to finish it off. Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Such a beautiful card, clean and elegant. Love the colours, the flowers, the dies.......love it. I hope you are starting to relax with your Mom now. Take care.
Lovely card, Sue. Haven't fathomed out quite yet how you did it. Did you cut out and then stuck the diecut back with hidden tape?

Love Rosemarie. Xx
Beautiful colour card,love the micro beads. Gorgeous as usual.

Morning Sue, I just love this die set, it's so ornate it really doesn't need much else. The teal and black are such a good colour combo tho I think I'd prefer the card to be a bit smaller this time I'm not sure about the wide rim around the outside I think it takes away a little bit from the the die and kinda minimises it but that's just a personal preference, and it is still a lovely card.
Alice xx
beautiful card, love the flowers.
Hugs, Chantal S
I almost thought I was on the wrong blog as this seems so simple, but on closer inspection it is very pretty indeed. I love the way the die has left its mark and the flowers are very clever. Lovely xx
like the teal and the black but i just feel the card is a little 'flat' for me-hope you are enjoying your mum time,take care,x.
Hi Sue
A nice card again ,especially like the little flowers .
Elaine H X
Like the sharpness of the black against the teal - makes a change from brown and I love the flowers x
simply stunning! I adore the teal card, the colour is so rich. Love the simplicity of the card, another "must make card" for my ever growing list! Hope you're having a great time. Love Sarah
Nice card, Sue, one I think may well look better in real life than in the photos, the flowers in pic 2really stand out.
Of course, love that teal!

Teal - you have simply made me an addict to this colour and together with white/black they make a wonderful combination. Today's card may be simple but it certainly makes an impact. I really must try the flower technique you have used. This is certainly a card put into my 'must do' box. I bought the 'Grand decorative labels 1' yesterday so am excited about that as this is the largest die I have ever bought.
Janet x
Hi Sue - yes I love the teal card too and it is very expressive when used with black. Love the embossing detail and this is something I have just begun to do more of and really like the effect. YvonneMayxx
Morning Sue,
Love teal myself.
Very elegant card. X
Yet another stunning card and could quite easily be used for a male if you replace the flowers xx luv the colour combo again xx GailT xx
