Hi friends! An oldie but goodie for today. This is one of the samples that I made for the Justrite shows in March. I wanted to use this pretty backing paper that I picked up somewhere as it has a lovely soft sheen to it. I embossed a piece of white card using the Ornamental Iron embossibility folder for the bottom of the card. I tied a piece of silver seam binding around the overlap between the two pieces. I covered two pieces of white card with sticky adhesive sheets and cut them with the Ornate Square die. I peeled the backing paper off and covered both of the die cuts with Rock Candy dry glitter. I glued both pieces together offset to create a fuller backpiece for my sentiment. I stamped my sentiment from the Live, Love, laugh Vintage Labels Two stamp set from Justrite and cut it out with the Stately Circles die set. I inked it with Brushed Pewter distress stain on a piece of
cut 'n dry foam while still in the die. Behind my sentiment, I placed a Venetian Motif as an accent piece. I made a rose out of silver card and seated it atop a bow tied from silver seam binding and added some pearl stick pins. I matted the piece with a white and silver mat before adding my final double white pierced mat to finish it off. So pretty for a wedding or anniversary card, don't you think? Finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue, This is a beautiful card as always. I really enjoyed your show on Sunday, and loved all of your samples and demos. Thank you so much for sharing. I have received my secret garden stamp and cannot wait to have a play.:) Can I ask you if it will be possible to buy the heart lattice embossing folder at any time in the future? I really love it but can't seem to get hold of it anywhere. Lots of love

I love the embossing/die combo, but is it really a Stately circles? It doesn't look like mine, but perhaps you trimmed it.
The colours you used are beautiful too.
Sorry, hit the wrong one again, that last comment was mine.
Lovely card sue, but who stole the the pearl?
Beautiful card, very pretty.

Been offline yet again but BT has come up trumps and done repairs in only 2 days!! So, sorry, couldn't comment yesterday, Sue, but liked that card very much. It's like having a personal two-fer as still have one more card to go.
Today's is just gorgeous - colourway, dies, flower, everything. Thank you.

It really is a lovely backing paper 'setting the scene' for the everything else. A very beautiful soft-looking card. I think the focal element could quite easily double up as a snowflake too.
