Congratulations

 Hi everone!  Another day of amazing  responses, I am so enjoying this and the great part for you is that you have extra qualifying days for the Sunday Comment game too!
          The winner picked from
         yesterday's comments is :
             
             Fluffycat!!! (Frances)

Email me to claim your prize (americansue1@gmail.com)

Today's card is the ultimate in a quickie card.  I used the Garden Gate background from Justrite and simply used the Distress Markers across it in an assortment of colours (Forest Moss, Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky), then lightly spritzed it with water and stamped it on white card.  I dried it thoroughly then covered it with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet, peeled the backing paper off and covered it with micro beads for texture.  I matted it with a thin white mat and wrapped a piece of frilly edged white ribbon around it and tied a double bow.  I finished the bow with a pearl embellishment.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Fancy Tags Two die and used foam to mount it on the top of my stamped background.  I used the Interlocking Circles embossing folder to emboss a larger white background.  I taped it to a double white pierced mat then attached my stamped background piece in the centre with foam tape.  I finished the card with Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue dots at the junctions in my embossed background and let it dry.  I like the fact that it is quick to make, fun to make and can be used for both male (remove the bow) or female or any occasion just by changing the sentiment or the colours or both.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size.   Be back tomorrow with another winner! All for now, Sue x

  16. Hi Sue
    Another pretty card. I'm not convinced that it's quick to do! I'm quite shaky with the decorative glue dots so that would take a while... The inking effect is very striking.

    Thank you for today's gift. As you say simple and easy but what a beautiful statement it makes. The colours just zing and make me smile.
    It's definitely one for my box of 'emergency cards' you know - when either you or someone close suggenly says 'oh no it's so and so's birthday' and you haven't done anything about it.
    A crafting day for me - oh bliss.

  85. Morning Sue, Love how you've used the distress inks for your background. it would be suitable for putting the poinsettia flowers on and making into a Christmas card too. Can you tell...I'm thinking of C C already and need something quick and simple but which also makes the receivers think that I've spent ages on them.When I tidy my craft room up I just might find those inks.

    I got my DVD's a couple of days ago and they are better than you led us to believe I am very pleased with what I have seen so far. You were definitely cooking on gas weren't you? I am sure if they had blinked they would have missed a card! ROFL!

  155. I like the varigated effect of the background stamp but am wary of using the microbeads in case they fall off in the post leaving the card patchy. Is there a sealer that prevents this?

  174. Really like the background colours used for this card Sue. The micro beads give it a lovely texture. Your background embossing folder looks effective with the raised dots. Very simplistic. I use that tag all the time for cards as it fits many of the longer sentiment stamps I want to use. Claire xxx
