Thinking Of You

 Hello crafters!  Chestnut brown and white are the colours of today's creation.  I love the shade of this brown card, it is very warm.  I have used the Autumn  Swirl Background from Justrite Stamps.  I inked it with the Flake and Glitter glue and stamped it onto the chestnut brown card. Remember to clean the residue off your stamp immediately. Allow a few minutes for the glue to go clear, then sprinkled the bronze polished silk glitter over the image.  I burnished it with my finger and tapped off the excess.  I cut a larger piece of coconut white card for my background and used the Curved Borders two to cut a decorative edge to the bottom of the card.  I mounted it on brown and white thin mats as accents.  I glued the glittered piece to the top of the card as a background for a Filigree Delight cut in white card.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the tag from the set.  I inked it with Vintage Photo distress ink while still in the die.  I tied a double bow from the ruffled edge organza ribbon and added a pearl embellishment to the centre.  I finished the card with a double white mat with an inner pierced layer.  Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

    morning Sue
    As you say a very Autumnal look for today's gift.
    The colours are beautiful and the ribbon I have not seen before looks fantastic. I must confess that I am a ribbon fiend. I buy masses of ribbons and then find I cannot possibly use them as they are too beautiful to cut.
    Will have to purchase some autumnal coloured card.

  119. Hi Sue
    Sorry I have not been commenting on your recent cards but since I visited you in Aberdeen I have been
    in and out of hospital since the end of July and only got home on Friday. My dear husband has saved all the cards you have made onto a file for me and I cannot wait to look at them all. I really enjoyed seeing you on Create and Craft on Sunday and look forward to seeing you again soon I hope. I know you have now gone to America and will not be on C and C until December but I also now have my CD from Aberdeen so have a lot to catch up on. Thank you for all your lovely down loads. I hope to use one of your designs for Christmas so I will have to get started. Should you have a quick classy card that I could made 100 of quite easily your advice would be greatly received. Love Joyce xx
