Morning bloggers! Aah lavender and white! Such a soothing colour combo I think. This is simplicity in card making for me. It isn't much work, a bit of inking, embossing and die cutting and you have a lovely card for a friend. I started by embossing the coconut white card with my
Heart Lattice embossing folder just to give the background a bit of detail. Next, out of lavender card, I cut the
Enchanted Labels 28 using the
Labels 28 die in the middle of it to cut a frame. To bring a bit of detail into the frame, I added a
Fancy Lattice Background cut out of white card. I just trimmed away the excess so it just filled the inside of the frame. I stamped the
Enjoy The Day Vintage Labels four stamp and added my sentiment to the middle of it. With
dusty concord distress ink, I inked through the die before removing my die cut. I added some mounting foam to the back and attached it in the centre of my frame. While I was in Florida, I found these small white paper flowers that I really liked. I used several of them here as embellishments and I just inked the tops of them with
Dusty Concord ink to match my card. I cut a few leaves from the
Bitty Blossom die set and inked them with
Forest Moss distress ink. I tied a double bow from
white frilly edged ribbon and used a glue dot to attach it to the lower corner of my sentiment. I seated the flowers around the sentiment and in the centre of the bow. I finished the embellishments with a couple of
pearl stick pins and some
flatback pearls on my frame and background corners. I added a lavender mat before finishing my card with a double white pierced mat. Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Lovely card and gorgeous lilac too. The flowers are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for today's gift - I am searching for idea for a bday card for one of my friends and Sue Wilson has come to my aid once again - what would we all do with our own Sue Wilson (hope your family don't mind having to share you with so many crafters!!)
Soothing is just the word - lavender and white are so evocative of warm summer nights sat outside with the smell of lavender.
It goes without saying too much more that I love today's gift in every way - colour scheme and format. So once again thank you Sue.

Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card. Simplicity itself or not it is stunning. I love the lilac with the white, the sheer ribbon just finishes it off to a T.
The lattice background gives it that airy look, the little flowers are just the right size. Just perfect for any occasion, but you know how you get those awkward people that you just can't satisfy, well i think this is one card that even they would fall in love with. Another 100% pass mark for you Sue.
