Good morning all! Here is another of the samples from the Las Vegas CHA show featuring the new Heartfelt Creations dies and stamps. I selected a navy blue and white colour theme and used the holly stamps to watermark the background all around the edge. I used a clear Perfect Medium pad for this and you can see it in the close up pics below. It is subtle but adds a bit of interest to the background. Next I cut the Gold Labels Four out of white card and used the Stormy Sky distress ink while still in the die to add colour. Once I was happy with it, I added in the smaller die shapes and embossed the designs into the larger one. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Stately Circle die, using the larger ring as well. I lightly inked the inside sentiment die cut with Stormy sky then removed the dies and added mounting foam to the outer ring die cut. I mounted it in the centre of the Gold Labels four and then glued the sentiment down within the recess. I cut five of the largest die from the Ornamental Add-Ons die set from Heartfelt Creations and arranged them in an opposite orientation along the bottom of the card. I embossed a strip of card with my Basketweave embossing folder and added it across my die cuts as a border. I tied a double bow out of the frilly edged white ribbon and added a pearl embellishment and stick pins to the centre. I finished the card by adding a double white pierced mat and flatback pearls as accents. The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x

A simple yet elegant gift today. The watermarked background looks beautiful and as yet I have not got round to doing this. I always seem to forget. Blue/white always a winner in my book.
'A gift of love' is the most wonderful sentiment and wouldn't it make a good birth card either in today's colours or a change of soft and gentle colour scheme.

Oh wow! Beautiful card Sue. Love the navy/ white together and the dies are stunning! xx Love Karen xx
The border is really pretty and I love the navy and white colour scheme.
Thanks Susan
Hi Sue
I really like the colour scheme today navy and white really work well together.
The gold labels four is a great die and the stormy sky distress ink really fits well with the colour scheme. The stately circles for the sentiment are a great focal point for the card.
I really must use these dies again, I have quite a few dies and tend to forget to look through them to use older dies I've bought as I'm always buying new ones I tend to use those first!
The bow is beautiful and finishes the card wonderfully.
I forgot to say how very much I loved the sugared flower you made for yesterday's card. Must look at your tutorial so I can make my own.
Best wishes from Katie-Louise sweetlove
Beautiful card. Like the way you created the border - you've got me looking at my dies differently.
Great card
