Hi crafters! Still going through folders to find cards that I have missed and I came across this one from the Die D-Lite shows from February. It's a rather pretty one so I think it deserves its day on the blog! I started by stamping a swirl all over the background edge and then heat embossing with white powder. I love the look you get, it adds interest, but doesn't take your focus away from the main element of your card. I used the decorative window Die D-Lite and cut it out in white card. I stamped the stained glass from Heartfelt Creations in black on white card. Next I covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet, peeled the backing paper off and micro beaded it for texture. Now this stamp was not designed to fit this window, so I had to do a bit of trimming to get it to fit, but I think it looks great in it. I mounted my window with foam mounting pieces. I made two roses to sit at the corner of the window with some white tulle and a couple of swirly pieces that were parts of other die cuts that I nipped off. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Ornamnetal Tag Three, but I nipped off the decorative part to use around my roses and just used the sign part. I inked it lightly with Black Soot while still in the die. I used the die to trace around to make a faux mat for it in black too. I mounted my sentiment above my window then added a black mat around my entire background. I finished the card with a double white pierced mat. Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
This is such a lovely card and so easily adaptable with the sentiment for many occasions
ReplyDeletePretty card, would also make a good sympathy card. Love the sheen on the background too (great pic). When are we going to see you back on C&C, it seems ages since you were last on.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card. Like the other comments you could easily adapt it for other occasions. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteLove this card . I love it when you do white ones .

GM Sue - this one is lovely - it definitely has a sympathy feel about it to me. Hope you are having a nice time - they say another heat wave is on the way here mid to end next week - ughhh.

Lovely card Sue.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteIt's a beutiful card, well deserving its outing! Some time ago I used the window and flowers for a wedding card in black and white (instead of white and black) and it looked fantastic.
Have a great weekend
Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue, This card is gorgeous, I love it, it can equally be used for a Wedding, Sympathy, etc. etc. I love it.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Very stylish card, i love it.

my first thought but it could be wedding
in other colours.

Hi Sue. This is a really beautiful card. I completely love this one. It is just beautiful. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteYvonneMayxx
Lovely card but I don't like this particular sentiment on this design As someone has already said It would make a perfect Sympathy card & if I was ill the "church like design" would be too reminicsent of what's to come I want a Get Well card that's bright & cheery Sorry Sue but that's how I feel today
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteThank you, I have been wondering what to do for a wedding card, and this is just what I need! Love the white embossing on white card.

Hi Sue beautiful card ,i agree it would make a lovely wedding card with different colour at the back of the window.
ReplyDeleteMarion H
Morning Sue, pretty card today. This would make a great wedding/anniversary card. Kind regards Joanne K x
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't hide this away any longer, Sue, a brilliant card. White-on-white embossing, micro beaded window, flower - all of it! As lots have said, change the sentiment and it's suitable for so many occasions.
ReplyDelete'P' in Wales
Hi Sue. Love it. The microbead window is gorgeous, it works so well. I think this one is so versitile, again, you are so clever, but I do agree with karenlotty. It doesn't make me think "Get well". Just about any other sentiment works though. (I think this is the first time after 18 months of daily viewing that I have ever not agreed 100% with anything you have blogged! I think that tells us all how fantastic you are at hitting the right note:)) Take care
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Sue, very elegant. Pat x
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful crisp card that will cover a whole range of occasions wedding, anniversary even sympathy. (I hesitated to put sympathy didn't want to be a misery, but when I looked at other comments I see that Patricia Howarth thought the same) I love this card
and black can also be changed for a whole host of colours.
Margaret corgi owner
P.S. I have just tried stamping the window on rainbow paper and it looks fabulous just like stained glass.
Hello Sue!
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy this Die, but I should have !
I think we all need this for Sympathy cards and Weddings, both are everyday events when you make cards!
Love the simplicity of this card Sue!

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I also agree that it is suitable for a number of occasions including sympathy. We are always trying to think of cards for such a sad occasion and this would suit perfectly.
Beautiful card Sue so pretty love Jean Z xxx

Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card that so easily be made for different situations. I do like the swirl embossed background. It adds lovely texture and takes away the plain look, but with being self coloured it is not gairish. A very useful card indeed to day and beautiful into the bargain, thanks Sue.

Hi Sue, yet another beautiful card. I'm sure if I was unwell and received this I would feel better immediately. The die is extremely versatile and stamping a 'view' behind the window rather than stained glass changes the perspective yet again. I love it.
ReplyDeleteFrances
Hi Sue, Lovely card but I don't know if the sentiment is right! As it is a church style window, is it a threat, that if you do not recover, you will be attending your own funeral?!! Just a thought! Hugs, Carol S.xx

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWe have been away for a short break to Yorkshire to see some friends. It would have been rude to ask if I could use their computer every day to see the card you had made, so I have indulged myself most of the afternoon on your sight. I have to say, to you lovely people up there in Staveley, how pretty is Yorkshire.
When got home I fired up my computer to find everyday but one you made my kind of card, they had bows ,beads & flowers... how Beautiful.I look forward to next week and all your lovely creations.
Kind regards

Dear Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother very late comment sorry.
I really like the swirly embossing powdered background, it adds a nice texture and interest to what would have been a blank space otherwise.
I love the stain glass stamp that you microbeaded it's beautiful, even though you had to trim it you'd never know it wasn't made for this die.
The flowers are beautiful.
I think this could make a lovely wedding card too, or christening....so many occasions.
How do you get your piercing so neat? I have a piercing ruler and tool but end up with bits coming back up when I pull the tool out its very disappointing for me. I will email you to ask incase you don't get this post.
Best wishes and thank you for this beautiful card and all your hard crafting and work you put into your blog,
From Katie-Louise sweetlove
Very elegant indeed, would be a lovely wedding card too.
