Hello my crafty friends! Today's card giveaway is from the gorgeous
Hydrangea set by Justrite and I think it is a lovely set to make cards with as well. I started by stamping the
Justrite Tufted Background on to
periwinkle card using a
clear Perfect Medium pad. I heat embossed it with
gold embossing powder for a regal look. I used the matching
Vintage Labels Seven die to cut an aperture in the centre of the card. On a separate piece of white card, I stamped my sentiment and embossed it in gold. I lightly inked around the sentiment with
Weathered Wood Distress Ink to create a shadow. I added some mounting foam to the background aperture and popped it over the stamped sentiment so it showed in the upper corner of my aperture. I trimmed the excess away, leaving a very thin white mat. Next I stamped the
Hydrangea on white card with a
clear Perfect Medium pad. I heat embossed it in
gold as well. Using
Distress markers, I coloured the flower and leaves, dabbing them with blues and purples for a more realistic looking flower and then cut it out by hand (I left in the small bits within the leaves). I mounted it on foam so it was coming up out of my aperture. Using a blue marker, I lined the tufted background lines to create the look of shadowing, then added small
white flatback pearls to each of the cross sections. I finished the card with a pierced gold layer, then added in some white and blue before finishing with a final soft gold layer. Finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/4" (a real baby size for me! LOL)
If you want to be in the drawing to win this one, just leave a comment on the post today! I will announce the winner on Saturday's post. All for now, Sue x

What a beautiful card. It would be very happy here with me. I promise :)
another pretty card. I liked the shadow in blue, something I would not have thought of doing, but will try this method. Just a gentle request could you make a video of some of the cards you made with your own dies? I have one of the american dies and the lace flowers. These dies cut out so well. Kind regards sandra kent

Sue this card is stunning and I'd love to win it as it would make my birthday seem a little less harsh!!! Lol
Love Tracy from killie xx
P in Wales. Meant to say I was sorry to here about ur wee cat Molly. It's heartbreaking. I lost my cat a few years ago (cass). I still can't bear to get another as he was an old man at 17.
Love Tracy from killie x
Very pretty. One which will be received with love.
Absolutely stunning today. The gold accents the gorgeous periwinkle card beautifully. But it's always the little details that you add that get me. With this one its the blue marker on the background that sets it apart. Fantastic!!! Vicki x
Dear Sue,
What a stunningly beautiful card this is!
It's absolutely amazing and gorgeous. I adore this card.
The very pretty hydrangea stamped image in blues and purple compliments the periwinkle card wonderfully.
The pearls and gold embossing gives an opulance to this card and enhances the beauty of this card.
How you keep coming up with such beautiful cards I really don't know except you are marvellous at it.
Best wishes from Katie-Louise sweetlove
Hi Sue,
Loving the hydrangea stamp, the periwinkle blue is such a soft colour that goes extremely well with the gold. I have just bought a new hydrangea plant for my garden, I just hope it comes out as beautiful as your one.

Another lovely card, I do look forward to my daily portion of inspiration from you, thank you
Wow! what a lovely card, I love the effect you created by using the pencil either side of the lines of the stamped image.
Hello Sue
I love the hydrangea stamp, inspiration for a mothering sunday card for my mother-in-law, her favourite colour is blue and the hydrangeas grow almost wild in Cornwall where she lives. Look forward to your daily blog.

Another fantastic card. I have ordered the hydrangea stamp but think I need to get the background stamp as well, lol.
Happy crafting xxxx
Stunning card, love the colours.
Rich, regal-looking card. Such a lovely sentiment.
I like your smaller sized cards as I only have an A4 printer and have to down-size your cards to give a finished size of A5 to go with the inserts I print.
I love the card. Thanks for the opportunity.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This is one of the most stunning cards I've seen you do Sue. I have to say I fell in love with the Hydrangea stamp the first time you used it but this card has just confirmed that I MUST have it! I love the shades of blue used with the gold. Anyone receiving this card would think it had cost a fortune as it looks so opulent. Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing Sue.
What a gorgeous card. I especially love the way you have added the shadow line in the criss-crosses, it gives it so much added dimension. Anne x
