Good Sunday morning all! You can probably tell that I have been going back through some of my folders looking for cards that have fallen through the cracks so to speak. I haven't shown a clean and simple style recently so I thought this one would fill the bill. This sample is from shows in October and uses the
Justrite stamp set called Let Your Soul Sing. It was so simple, I merely ripped a piece of copy paper in to a sort of diagonal strip and taped it across my coconut white card (which I taped to my craft mat so it wouldn't slip. I used
Peacock Feathers distress ink in a sort of pouncing motion rather than the usual circular fashion (that way it doesn't get under the copy paper accidentally). I blended the colour outward away from the copy paper to give it a softer look and when I was happy with it, I removed the copy paper mask. I stamped the branch from the set using a
black Archival ink pad coming in from the side. I stamped the sentiment, also in
black Archival so that it was both inside and outside of my inked area. I used two of the small butterflies from the set and added them with the peacock feathers ink. I added a hint of yellow in the larger butterfly (just because it looked like it needed a bit more colour). The card was finished with a double white pierced mat layer (in about 15 minutes, record time for me!) Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
I have added the other short video that I did at CHA at the bottom of the post. I only had the idea to do a few videos on the last day, maybe I will try my hand at a few more at our trade show next month!

Good Morning Sue,
I remember you demoing this card and loved its simplicity so I made several in different colour combos. The Christmas ones looked lovely with snowflakes instead of the butterflies and evergreen bough replaced the peacock feathers. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
Love,

Well done, winners.

Hi Sue
Nice clean simple card. Gorgeous colour. Congrats winners. Sigh.....maybe next time! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card today Sue, and as I love butterflies, and Just Rite stamps too, this is perfect. Wonderful video too with you and Kellie, but you could have kept that stampset a bit more still, so we could actually see it better, this was really cheating ha ha ha

Simply Beautiful ! Congratulations to winners! I have to say I went on to Marisa's blog which was wonderful and found my way to the new stamps which hopefully will be coming our way shortly, I just adored the lattice background and the large daisy. so look forward to seeing these demoed someday.
Just my kind of card Sue, love it ! Carole Z X
Hi Sue,
Hi everyone,
What a shocker of a day! Ugh! I like some others will not be able to watch Julia live except for maybe 10mins or so as cooking Sunday lunch for the family . Shows are on record ,however.
I really like today's card as it is so different. Your usual style would come top of the list however. I do love the simplicity and cleanness of it. The touch of yellow just lifts it. You are a clever lady.
Enjoyed video also! It much more interesting than being shown a car which C&C did at one point!
Have a lovely day everyone, try to keep warm and dry.
Love to all Myra
Good morning Sue and everyone.
Simple but very effective. Less is definitely more with this beauty.
Have a great day.
Ang x
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
Well its another beautiful card today that reminds me of a fresh winters morning when its crisp on the ground with frost and the trees are bare because of the autumn winds. I love the colour that you have chosen to do it in Sue as it is just right for the card and stamp.
Congratulations to all todays winners and yesterdays as i didn't get on as being a really bad day. Today just that wee bit better but reached the limit somehow. Never mind here's to a better tomorrow, see you all tomorrow hopefully,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)

Must get the peacock feathers when I can see it in the shops. have a great day Steph at the craft fair. Hope you leg is better Heather, and I hope that everyone has a good day. It's cold, windy and wet today in Oxfordshire.

I absolutely love the colour of the Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, it's gorgeous. Although this card has some simplicity of it, it is still beautiful with the added touches of the pierced border and raised layers.
Congratulations to the winners.

Lovely clean card which is so beautiful.
I love this card, Sue. Stunning, but quite simple - at least you make it look and sound simple. Will give it a go, with different stamp set, and try it out. Tried the fancy Nestor card the other day. Really struggling with the main cutting and embossing element of it. Any tips? Thanks, Sue. Jules xx
Sue - they say less is more and this card proves that fact. It is beautiful and hopefully welcomes Spring. Hope all is well with everybody and nobody is flooded. Helen xx
Very pretty Sue
