So Thankful

Hi bloggers!  How much more simple can it be than this card featuring the Good friends stamp from Justrite?  When I first saw this set, I just wanted to stamp and colour it as I thought it was truly lovely.  I decided to just showcase it on a white embossed background so as not to take away from it at all.  I embossed the background using the Valor embossibility folder.  I needed to do this twice to create a larger enough background, but the folder lines up very easily for this purpose.  I tied some white seam binding around the opposite corners and tied a messy bow.  I used a piece of white net tulle behind my bow.  I made a rose using the tutorial that is now at the top of my blog (thanks to help from Diane in Scotland!) and I sugared the flower by coating it in glue and using Rock Candy dry glitter on it.  I stamped my focal element and coloured it using distress markers.  I cut it out with the matching labels 29 die and stamped my sentiment in the centre.  I mounted it in the middle of the card and paper pierced around the edges of the double white mat to complete my card.  Oh so simple, but I really like it even if there isn't any fancy layering on it.  I hope you do too.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

    Good Morning Sue, I love this card, but then you NEVER make a duff one! The stamps enhance the dies so well, it's almost hard to remember not using them.

I haven't had a play with the label 29 sets that I got from your shows!!! I have got too much new stash recently that I don't know what to play with first!! It's only because I couldn't make it to ally pally and used the money I had saved to buy the stash lol hope you have a lovely time and hopefully I will be able to go in September. Love Lesley x

    Love your bows & the extras you add to them ;-) the layers & embossed areas work well. I like the die & enjoy using stamps with the dies now (I have loads!). The one you've used is pretty. I love swirls & patterns best though. Claire x

    A beautiful card I love it Sue.
    I am not very good at fancy cards all layered up like you normally make but I feel I could achieve this card or one similar with a different stamp. I must get some more stamps, I loved the 'stamps to die for' range but wasn't able to afford them once is got the embossing folders of yours which I am eagerly awaiting. I will hopefully get some next time around.
    Thank you Sue for your hard crafting. I hope you've had a good day at ally pally and have another good day tomorrow.
    Best wishes from katielou sweetlove
