Hi crafters! I miss you too! It feels like forever since I did a show and I still have a few more weeks to go! Oh well, on to the card! LOL Another really easy one as this is the layout I go to whenever I need to get back into the swing of things so to speak. I have embossed the top half of my coconut white card using the
New Year Dove embossing folder by Couture Creations. I stamped my sentiment(from Justrite stamps) in the lower right hand corner using a
Black Archival ink pad. I ties a length of
black silky crush ribbon around the card and added a double bow and some white tulle to the left side. I seated a
small cameo in the centre as an accent (I think they are so pretty!) For my focal element, I stamped the flower from the
Floral Thank You set by JustRite stamps (yes, it is the same stamp that I used on yesterday's card!) using a
Black Archival ink pad on a piece of blue-violet card (from my stash). I wanted to dress it up just a bit so I stamped the
Secret Garden background over the top using just a
Clear Perfect Medium pad so it looks like a watermark. I love the extra bit of interest it gives. I cut it out with the
Scalloped Labels One die. To give it a pretty mat, I cut a
Decorative Labels One out of
black card and used mounting foam between the layers. I used the blue violet card to add a thin mat before finishing my card with a double pierced mat in black. Again, pretty, but so simple and can be used with any sort of sentiment. Finished dimensions are
6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue, very elegant and pretty card, love the violet and black. It would be great to see you back on TV soon.Bx
morning Sue
Another very very pretty gift for a Friday. The colour scheme is beautiful and yes can be changed to whatever you fancy and the focus and sentiment again changed to suit the occasion.
One definitely to be in your 'emergency box of cards' you know when you have totally forgotten that it's someone's birthday and so it's a very very useful piece of art to have.
Thank you for all your inspiration this week hope it's a restful week-end for you.

Morning Sue, I get my 'Sue fix' by watching the charity video you did at the Papeterie, it's brill.
This card today is quite simple but gorgeously elegant, surprisingly the stamped flower has a different feel to it.
I hope you Mom is keeping well.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue
I agree with everyone, we really miss you on the telly, its like not seeing you best friend for ages. I love the card and it just great to see the stamps used in different ways which shows us more options. Have a great weekend.
Love Jan x x
Good morning Sue and everyone.
Simple but effective. I think we are all on the "Sue on TV" countdown. x
Morning Sue, we certainly miss you too, we definitely do not see enough of you on our screens! Lovely card again today. Love Jean xxx
May be simple but a beautiful card Sue
Yeah, we miss you too, Sue. Are C&C trying to freeze you out? I jolly well hope not.
Hi Sue
Lovely card, the stamp is gorgeous. Looks completely different from yesterday's card. Yes it does seem like ages since you've been on tv but like Patricia, I'm watching the DVDs from the charity - which I have to say was well worth the money.
Hi Sue. Another simply elegant card today. September will soon be here, thank goodness! We all need our fix of you! Hope you have a good weekend. Take care.
Love that shade of blue/purple (not sure which it is on my computer screen but the shade is very beautiful) and of course the black bow is a great finishing touch for the card.
Hugs,
Eemeli
Nice card and I agree a very apt sentiment. Hugs Sonia x
Love the color combo. Stunning card
Love the color combo. Stunning card
Very elegant today Sue. I will have to get that stamp, it's so stylish. I have the Secret Garden stamp and it's beautiful - I'll have to try using it as a watermark. Pat x
Hi Sue - another elegant card today. The stamp looks so different from yesterday's one. Yesterday's card inspired me to make two, using a different stamp, and I will be making today's one too as it can be used for many occasions. Have had the date in my diary for your first show in September and it's been a long wait but glad to say for not much longer. So looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us.

Good morning Sue,
I love the subtlities (excuse the spelling as brain has went on strike as to spelling this morning)that you use to enhance a card. The embossing that you do makes an elegant card instead of a gawdy look to the card. The beautiful black silky makes a cracker of a bow as it shimmers under the light.
It is a beautiful card on all aspects of it. Thank you Sue for your crafty talent and inspiration once more.
As to television, it has been too far gone since you were on our screens last. Your loyal subjects need the Sue Wilson experience at the very least once a month on television, everyday would be good or even a channel just on Sue would be even better, but we would make do with the monthly visit.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah
Lovely card with a very true sentiment as we are missing you. x

Looking forward to seeing you back in the UK, but it makes it closer to "C", and that will mean the end of summer lol!

Good Morning Sue,
Once again another great card to start our day. I too am really looking forward to your return to our screems, but in the meantime have been watching some of your videoed C&C programmes. Thanks for sharing and hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Margaret A.
Hi Sue, A very pretty card love he stamps you've used as others have said a quick card for an emergency or just to keep as a stand by , would look equally good using other colour schemes too.i think C&C should have a Sue Wilson show once a month for at least an hour two would be better ,like the in the classroom shows with Barbara Grey . Well we can only hope !
Thanks Sue
Hugs

Simple, yet classy. A good all occasion card.
Janice W
So useful to have foundation pattern in mind. It does ensure a good result with many different colours and papers. Looking forward to your next shows.
Hi Sue. What a beautiful card today !! It is so simple but looks so classy and elegant. I love this floral stamp !! I notice that with the black ribbon across the card, the black bow and the black card used, it still looks beautiful and bright and not dark like you would think. You have used colour in a very clever way to highlight your card but not over power it. simple but beautiful and I really love it !! Well I think it has been far to long since your last appearance on tv. Just another few weeks to go. I can't wait !! I agree with other crafters, seeing you on tv even if only once a month would be great. Lots of love Tres x x x
Simple and elegant and i love the Bow .

Really lovely card Sue. I love this stamp that you have been using. The Secret garden stamp is great too, both of which I need!!!! Darn you Sue, I will never be rich in money, but definitely in my crafting stash I will though xxxx
Lovely Card Today Sue Have a great Friday. Hugs Elaine
A beautiful card which, if you changed the sentiment, would make a lovely sympathy card. x
Hi Sue.
It's Nick here. Used to be in Barnsley now Bulgaria. I've been without internet and not able to watch C&C for a year. Got it back this week so been watching intentley and had to visit your blog as soon as I could. I have really missed seeing your beautiful designs. I am sure I will win one, one day and it will be treasured.
Nick
Miss You? I should say so, Sue! It does seem a long time and we're all awaiting your return impatiently.
Have to say preferred yesterday's card; two totally different looks from the same stamp - but always new ideas to try. Thank you, Sue.
'P' in Wales
Love the simplicity of this card and just right for the sentiment. X
Hi Sue
Not wishing life by, but roll on September. We all know there is a lot of talent on C&C, but nothing to compare to the Sue Wilson talent.
Your card today is simple elegance, I really like the colour combo and the bow, tulle and cameo are a beautiful finishing touch. :-)
Kind regards
Tina X
Great and simple card for many occasions - really like the watermark stamping effect on the purple background.
Thanks, Susan
Hi Sue
Stunning card again, which can be used for many occasions
Hugs Carol x
Another lovely, lovely card Sue. Love the blue/violet (I'm so lucky to have some!) and the cameo. Love also how you've done the watermark too before you stamped with the gorgeous stamp! "Miss you" too on the screen Sue. I think we're all having Sue Wilson withdrawal symptoms! Roll on September! xx Love Karen xx ps about the blue/violet card I got it from a local Webberleys book shop. They do a multitude of art/craft things too upstairs. The sheet is bigger than a 12 by 12 and I would imagine any art shop would stock this. xx
Gorgeous card Sue, love the blue! Carole Z X
Sue,
Greetings from IN, I do check out your cards and like the style.. The color is fab... Miss you too. Xx
Hi Sue,
Better late than never today. I really like the layout of this card so simple but could be used in so many different ways. No wonder you always turn to it time and time again to get you back in the swing of things. Just lovely.
