Hi bloggers! This is one of my favourites of the cards for Sunday's show. I stamped the Lace Oval Frame by JustRite three times on to coconut white card and white heat embossed them. I have used the Grand Ovals to cut three frames, one slightly larger. While still in the dies, I used Eggplant Adirondack ink to colour them, leaving the white embossing and the die covered areas as a resist. I cut a strip of white card and used some matching eggplant (or aubergine as it is better known in the UK) card to mat it and wove it through my oval frames. I stamped the sentiment in eggplant ink and cut it out with the Vintage Labels Four die and seated it upon the fancier stamped frame from the Justrite Large Elegant Sentiment set which I embossed in white and inked with eggplant as well. I cut three flowers from our new vintage coloured felt using the Spiral Flower Four die and added some leaves from the Bitty Blossoms set. I glued flatback pearls in the centres and glued the flowers to the side of my card. I stamped the coordinating corner from the Lace Vintage Labels Three set by Justrite in all four corners of a piece of coconut white card and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. I inked the entire edge of the background piece which helped the corners pop out more. I finished the card with a double white mat and added some white flatback pearls to the corners as embellishments. Finished dimensions are 7" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

One word.WOW.

Hi Sue, a WOW from me too. A stunning card.
Hi Sue. WOW !! What a stunning card !! I had already fallen in love with the new Lacey background stamp. I never even imagined making it into other shapes like ovals !! It looks amazing and so does the whole card. I love the labels four as well. Even though it is from another stamp set, the patterns match perfectly. I love the aubergine colour you have used with the coconut white card. This would make a great wedding card. I think my favourite thing is the felt flowers you have made. They just finish the card to perfection. I really love the colour of them. they just say "classic winter card making" to me. I have never made felt flowers before but I will be watching all your shows and recording them to so I am hoping to see you demoing how to make them before I have a go myself. Not long to go now !! Lots of love Tres x x x
Hi Sue

good afternoon Sue,
Another beautiful card with a hint of colour being enhanced by the beautiful felt flower. I like the colour that you have used for the stamping and as you have just lightly stamped it, it is not overpowering.
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue, a stunning card today, liking those felt flowers x
Hi Sue, such a stunning card. Really has the Wow factor.
What a stunning card! I feel a spend coming on. Sue you are a danger to the health of credit cards.LOL
Janet (Kent)
another lovely card Sue great combination of colures. Cant wait for Sunday to come hugs x
Gorgeous card.
This is a lovely looking card Sue :-). I like the colours & that felt for the flowers is gorgeous! I can see me using this kind of layout for the male card I've been struggling with now. Instead of stamping, I might use my football embossing folder over whatever shape I chose to cut my buckle design out of as its going to a football fanatic. I can see the strip running through the centre working well for my srntiment. Thanks for some inspiration! Claire xxx
Gorgeous!
