Good Sunday morning to everyone! A real bonanza in the Comment Game winners this week, but first the card! This one was part of the Heartfelt Creations shows from earlier in the year (Feb. I think) I found a nice raspberry card in my stash for my background colour. I cut two of the
Decorative Lace Border die from Heartfelt Creations out of
milk coloured card. I glued them facing each other on my background to create a lacy looking design. Using the lovely
Delicate Aster dies, I cut several sized flowers out of the raspberry card. I stamped them once cut with the matching stamps. For the single largest flower, I added some
micro beads to one of the flowers as an accent. I cut several of the dies that are intended as flower centres and made small flowers out of them instead. I added
flatback pearls to the centres of those. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the smaller dies in the
Labels 20 set. I inked it lightly while in the die with Raspberry Adirondack ink. As a decorative accent, I cut one of the tags from the
Fancy Tag Two set in raspberry card and sat my sentiment on it in the upper corner of the card. I added a bow tied out of cream coloured tulle and finished it with a
heart Dazzler. A double layered mat of
milk card with a pierced inner mat completed the card. I think this one would be very pretty all in cream for a tone on tone look, sort of giving it a vintage feel. Finished dimensions are 7" x 7 1/2" in size.

Hi Sue
A beautiful card today.
I dedicate this card to my beautiful little cat Purdy who passed away at 1.15am today. I sat with her and she purred till the end hence her name. My workroom is so quiet as she used to run in every morning and sit and purr like a little motor bike. God bless you Purdy.
Thank you for letting me ramble.
Kind regards

I just love this colour combination, and especially the flowers. The whole colour is suggesting Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream to me - I don't know why, but I love Raspberry Ripple Ice Cream, so it's probably a food connection thing :)

Good evening Sue,
I really like todays card. The lace die is so pretty and reminds me of lace curtains with the beautiful arrangement of daisies in front(imagination working overtime) just missing the vase. The images that your works of art bring to mind is fantastic and takes us on great journeys to explore for ourselves. Thank you Sue for you inspiration again.
