Morning all! This is my favourite kind of card to do when I only have a few minutes and want to get the most Wow out of that time. When I am working, I try to keep to a schedule so I know I can get all my samples done for upcoming shows. Sometimes I take too long working on very detailed cards, but want to stay on target for the number of samples I make for shows. This is one of those real easy, quick cards for just those occasions. I selected a favourite Graphic 45 backing paper. I covered it with a
sticky adhesive sheet, peeled the backing paper off and covered it with
clear micro beads. I don't know why, but it instantly makes me happy! I am a very textural loving person and these just hit the spot for me. I wrapped a length of
cream silky crush around the left side of the card and taped the ends to the back. I tied a double bow and attached it with a sticky glue dot. I made a pretty rose out of lavender card and covered it with
Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue. I then dipped it into my container of
Rock Candy dry glitter to "sugar" it. I have some gorgeous stick pins that were made for me by Linda Burrows and this card was just calling out for one of them so I added it to my bow. I stamped my sentiment using
Blue-Violet Archival ink and cut it out with the
Stately Circle die. I inked it lightly while in the die with the same ink. I cut one of the tags from the
Filigree Delight set and inked it also, then mounted my sentiment atop it so you can just see the ends peeking out. I mounted it in the lower corner of my card with mounting foam. I finished the card off with a double
milk coloured card mat and pierced the inner mat. I spray of
swirly pearls was all that was needed to complete this one. Quick and easy! Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Back on line and phone again after another four days off (BT finally replaced 200 yds of cabling so fingers crossed this time!) so am looking at cards from Sunday. All great but particulatly loved the milk card yesterday and today's is very pretty, epecially the flower and bow. Haven't had a chance to read the comments, but will do later.
Still in the States, Sue? You're certainly not missing anything here, cold wet and windy but at last we have leaves on trees so
maybe summer's on its way.
