Hi there everyone! Skipping around a bit between the bundles and back to the Labels 20 set. I couldn't quite capture this one on film as well as I had hoped, but it is really pretty in real life. I had been looking at this piece of decorative paper for awhile, trying to decide what I wanted to use it with as I just loved the mix of colours in it, aqua, peach, rust and black, very unusual. I decided to
micro bead it (as I do! LOL) and use it as my background. Next I cut two of the
Scalloped Borders Two set in black, using one of the lacy inserts with two cutting edges. I backed them both with our
peach card and left a border showing on the bottom using one of the more decorative cutting edges. I glued them across the corners of the cards and trimmed them even with the card edge. Next I stamped the
Labels 20 Get Well stamp by Justrite on
black card using a
clear perfect medium. I used
black embossing powder on it. This, by the way, is the only time I ever use black embossing powder, when it is on black card. I always use a black ink and clear powder whenever I want to emboss anything else that is black. Those pesky little stray bits of powder that sometimes get on your card are far less obvious if they are clear. I cut the stamped image out with the matching
Labels 20 die and mounted it in the centre of my card with foam pieces. I stamped the two smaller stamps from the set on the
peach card and cut them out with their matching dies. I stacked them in the centre for a straight forward build up of the dies. I made a rose using the same paper as my backing paper (which I think was Graphic 45, but I am not positive on that) and mounted it on my card with some black tulle. I added a black swirl cut from the
Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose die set around my rose and a
black rhinestone swirl in the opposite corner
. Finished the card with a double mat of
peach card with my usual piercing technique around the edge. Certainly doesn't have to be used just as a get well card, but I thought I would show how the sentiments look so nice inside the stamps from the set. Finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue,
I like the card, love the background paper? But I'm not sure i would use so much black with a get well card!
Gail C x
Hi Sue lovely mix of colours , thanks for embossing tip x
Lovely card with a French look to it. Think its the black frillies that do it. Have ordered the labels 20 stamps to go with my dies so that should be interesting as I'm really not a
Stamper! Need to practice x x x
Dear Sue What a beautiful card! I always love labels 20....mine all time favourite of spellbinders! Take Care Love Michelle S xxx
gorgeous card Sue love the background paper very striking with the black xx hazel
Morning Sue, beautiful card. I spotted this on your shows and I have to agree with you Labels 20 is also one of my favourites. It doesn't matter how you use it, it is so elegant. Kind regards Joanne K x
Another lovely card Sue. Two things stand out for me - I like the way you've placed the border dies in the corners and also like the fact that the flower is made from the same paper. Very effective.
This is gorgeous, just watching your show on C&C, next item on my list id gilding flakes, not used them before and they look good. xxx
morning Sue
I really love the format of today's gift but not quite sure re the background paper - it reminds me of a thirties look - perhaps it will grow on me.
The stamping looks amazing and I'm trying very hard to get my stamping up a notch or two or three as sometimes I get a shadow.
Still have one of your shows to watch before I go off to my craft afternoon - so if your ears burn you will be the topic of conversation (all nice comments).
Congratulations to the very lucky winners.

Morning Sue,

Good morning Sue,
I like today's card as you have drawn out a colour contained within the background paper and it just makes the card pop. I like the borders that you have put on the card with the backing colour it just shows off the beautiful borders a treat.
Well done to all the candy blog winners.
Love and crafty hugs

Fab card again Sue, Thank you, Mabex
Morning Sue,
I think this is such a sophisticated card, the backing paper is so lovely and I love how you have made the rose with it as well. Would never have thought to have micro beaded the paper and the scallopped borders put on and angle look great. So much inspiration in one card.
Love Sheila xx

Hi sue
Love today's design on this card, but the background paper isn't quite my style. But anyhow lovely card. The world would be a dull place if everyone had the same taste.
Hi Sue - this is a very striking card and I loved the look of the black embossing on black card when I saw your sample on C&C. I also like the way you angle the borders too. Looking forward to seeing your demonstrations with glitter at Ally Pally. Can't wait!

Good Morning Sue,
I love this card - it's pretty and so elegant. Every time I see this die and it's matching stamps I hear this little voice in my head saying "..why haven't I got these yet?" Seems I have to rectify that. Thanks for sharing this, congrats to today's winners (I am sooo jealous) and enjoy the rest of your day.
