Good Sunday morning! What a fun and special day I had yesterday for my Mom's birthday! She loved all the well wishes everyone sent via my blog too! Thank you so much for those. I want to take a few more pics today before my brother heads back to Calif., then I will get some of the pics up on the blog later in the week to share with you! Today's card is one of those cards that I try to make using those smaller dies in the sets that often get overlooked. As I start my task to make samples for shows, I always try to get different looks and styles to show a wide variety with each die set and try my best to use some of the smaller "worker" type dies that are often included. You may only purchase a die set because you like the largest main focal die, but find that some of the smaller dies are quite useful in and of themselves. This was the case for this small flower die from the Ornate Squares set. I thought it was rather pretty and easy to use all by itself. I cut three small apertures in a row with it across the bottom of my card. I picked out three shades of lavender to use behind it and cut the flowers in each of the varying shades. I mounted the aperture piece on foam for dimension, then placed the flowers so they were recessed into the openings across the bottom. I cut a piece of white card for the top of the card and embossed it using the Awesome Blossom Embossibility folder for an all over floral look. I joined the two pieces and then stamped a strip of white card with my sentiment. I matted it with a pale lavender card and cut forks into the end. I cut two more of the same flower in white then offset them for a completely different look and added them to the end of my sentiment strip. I added 3mm pearls to the centre of that flower. I matted the entire card with lavender and added a white pearl swirl across the embossed portion of the card. I matted it with a double white pierced mat to complete the card. More of a clean and simple style for me, but still quite pretty I think! Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.Time for the Comment game winners for the week too! This week's names drawn are:

What a clever use of the small die, I'm afraid I never know how to use them other than for embellishments. You've made me realise that they can be used as the main image. I am so glad your Moms day went well look forward to the photos.

Again a lovely and elegant card. Simple to make but very effective. The smallar dies go so well with the Showing off of the embossingfolder.
Very well made
Hi Sue
glad your day went so well!! Looking forward to seeing the photos!
I like this card because the lines are clean and simple but still beautiful and eye catching - Also because it could really be made using just about any colour underneath - which is great.

Morning Sue, So glad your Mom enjoyed her Birthday yesterday, I bet she was really surprised when your Brother walked in.
Your card today is a lovely quick and easy card, but very elegant, and loving the lavender and white.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
How do you come up with so many ideas - this is a very easy card to do yet it looks so effective. Love the way you have used all the little pearls in the middle of the flower too. So pleased you had such a good day yesterday and look forward to seeing some photos. YvonneMayxx
Hi Sue, great ideas on this card, keep the inspiration coming. Congrats to the winners. Bx
GM Sue - glad yday went well. How spooky - I used the Ornate squares for the first time yday and I love them - but not the flower die! I was trying my take on 'You Made my Day' the male card you posted on 11th April. I used the engraving board for the first time also - I am in love with that stuff! I also for the first time, die cut leather and embossed it with the basketweave embossing folder - lovely. And another first - embossed the metal corners. All inspired by you - so thanks. I've just got to get the contruction right today - I often rush that bit I think - I get soo excited as it all comes together -so I decided to leave it overnight and do it fresh today and take my time!
I notice some of your cards lately are using shades of - any chance you can do coloured cards in shades of sets in future - say 3 colours shades of blue, shades of lavender, shades of teal perhaps? I think they would be very popular with the Wilsonnettes.

So pleased all the family had a fab day and hope Mom was sat when your brother walked in.
I love today's card - the colour of lavender is so peaceful and evokes the smell of beautiful evenings after a hot sunny day. The little dies can make a huge difference sometimes can't they and I admit that I tend to overlook them - must try better with them.

Many congrats to the winners.

Morning Sue. Simple looking design, that looks so very pretty. I tend to forget the little dies, buying sets usually because of one particular die. So... I'm suddenly realising I have a whole different stash to play with.

less is more card. Love it. Your eye is drawn to the special bits, but can never look at your cards without trying to work out how u did it. Getting to love these big tags/pennants (just done some on the cake boxes with naughty but nice stamped on them. Went down a treat on the stall).
Happy birthday to your mum and many more of them. Hope your having a great time

Hi Sue - So pleased you had a lovely day with your mom and clan on her 90th Birthday. I am looking forward to seeing somo of the pictures you've promised us. Your card today is another of those where you show us what can be done with the lesser dies. Must admit I need pointing in the right direction! Love the background folder.

Hi Sue sorry to post late again.
This is a gorgeous card I love the embossed background and the pearl swirls. To be honest I hadn't even noticed the flower in the ornate square die set I really must look it out and start playing as its so pretty. The purple card you've used behind the apertures is pretty and the layered flower so very pretty too.
Congrats to all the winners!
Best wishes from Katie-Louise Sweetlove
