Good Sunday morning all! They do roll around quicker and quicker these days, don't they! Or at least it seems that way! I hesitated posting this card as it is the rich plum colour that really makes this card and try as I might, I couldn't get it to show properly. You will have to really use your sense of imagination or if you happened to have purchased this beautiful colour card that was in one of the sets in October, you are lucky enough to know just how pretty it is! I used the Lace Oval Frame stamp set by Justrite for my background. I stamped it with a clear Perfect Medium pad and heat embossed with white powder. I turned it horizontally, trimmed and matted this piece and then added it to a larger white piece of card that I scored the bottom section of. I really love the way that looks and it gives you a nice area for a lovely bow (sorry Maggie, Jo and a few others, every once in a while, you just have to break out the big bow!) This one was tied using the white frilly edged ribbon with a couple of pearl stick pins and a pearl embellishment for the centre. To finish off my focal element, I used the same stamp as my background, but this time, I just used the perfect medium for a watermarked look. I cut it out with Vintage Labels Four and added a white shadow mat to it by cutting it down the middle and taping it further out on each side. I stamped my sentiment using a Maroon Archival and cut it out with the smallest oval die in the set. I inked it with Aged Mahogany distress ink before removing it. I cut one of the larger ovals from the set as a mat for it and mounted the pieces all together with mounting foam for dimension. I decided to go darker for the mat and used the Rich Plum card for my double pierced mat to frame it and finish the card. Finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size.Now for the Sunday Comment Game winners. This weeks has two lots of winners. The first set is:
Marion H!!!

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteIt's another lovely card, I love the composition - it would work in ANY colour....
Seeing one of my friends win the blog is (nearly) as good as winning myself.
Congrats to them all.
Have a brilliant Sunday.
Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes. This card is stunning Sue. I adore everything about it there isn't one particular item that stands out (ok, maybe the BIG bow) wouldn't look the same without the bow - sorry Maggie : ) The sentiment stamp is double lush as is the die used for the edges. Off to our daughters today who just happens to live near a SB stockist, (note to self - get waiter to serve lunch asap to make sure we get out of restaurant before craft store closes) !
ReplyDeleteThanks for a truely wonderful card Sue. Have a crafty Sunday all who enter Wilsonette Heaven.

Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteFirst I would like to say Congratulaions to the winners.
WELL, what can I say about your Beautiful Card this morning other than I Love everything, I Love the Deep Rich Plum Card then using it with White is a must, The Beautiful JustRite Stamp Lace Oval Frame Embossed in White looks "Awesome" I also really love how you have used the same JustRite Stamp to create your background with The Water Mark Look, and I really like how you've created the shadow, and I'm a lover of Bows so I always like to see them, where appropriate and you always seem to find the correct Sentiment. Love from Sam
Morning Sue what a stunning card you have for us today i adore the colours that you have used. I really like the backgroung stamp embossed in white. And Sue its nice to see a big bow back i love them. Take care Sue xxx

Spent yday embellishing cards for a coffee morning/christmas bazaar on Tuesday at my golf club - I have made about 80 - some christmas and some general - hope they sell. Ironing and cooking beckons for me today. Happy Sunday all.

Lovely card again Sue. I wish I could afford all the lovely stamps you use. Congratulations to all the winners too. x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, your card is rich and beautiful. I do love your bows, but I don't tend to put big bows on my own cards as they'd get spoilt in the post: Unless sent in a box and that's a step too far for me!
ReplyDeleteSue
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLove the card and the colour of the card in "real life" is very rich.
Got loads of goodies yesterday at the NEC, now my problem is getting it in the house without the other half seeing!!!! Is that awful or do others do the same?
Congrats to the winners.
Much love,

Lovely card Sue and I particularly like this cardstock no matter what it shows up as on our screens anyone with a blog will know that it is very hard to get the true colours posted but it does not detract from your composition.

Congratulations to all the winners
Gorgeous card Sue, but then I do love a big bow :-)
ReplyDeleteOooh, lots of people coming out "in defence of bows" today ;)
ReplyDeleteI know I'm in the minority by not really liking bows - maybe it's because I only had sons!!! You are not the only one who uses bows in this way on her cards - Becca Feenan also does a lot - but it doesn't stop me appreciating the other aspects/elements of your/her work. I know you understand this Sue.
As for today's card, I love it - especially the sentiment, really nicely scripted (I'm a frustrated amateur calligrapher!) and that background is fab.
Hi Sue, a very rich and pretty card today. Lovely and chic. Congratulations to all the winners. Kind regards Joanne K x
ReplyDeleteI like the Rich Plum, it's quite lush and of course a BOW - wonderful as always!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteVery nice card today.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteMay I make a suggestion, not about this card but Embossing Folders? I have noticed, when the patterns have an "Up and a Down" the pattern is always portrait orientated. This is fine if making a card
long side at the bottom, but not when making a side folded card as the pattern is then on it's side.
Again, thanks for the wonderful videos.
