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
Morning Sue and all the crafty crew.

Hi everyone, well my craft room is finished and I am so happy as my mojo had left for card making for a while but it's on it's way back now, and what a fabulous card we have this morning. I love the shadow effect(wouldn't have thought of that) it looks brilliant. The sentiment is fab and what a lovely place it is in rather than just smack in the middle it gives the eye so much more to look at. Love your dabbing technique on the flower. this would look great in my room just what I need to finish it off an original Sue Wilson. I have been a Wilsonette for so long I've almost given up that I will ever win one. have a great day today, if you are ill (as I am)or upset look in the mirror and smile, Tomorrows another day. hugs Theresa x
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteThe hydrangea is one of my favourite flowers because of all the different tones of colour that can come out in the one plant. You have managed to capture the tones brilliantly Sue as i thought you had cut out and layered as in decoupage. I have had to look at the rest of the pictures to check it out. It just looks so 3 dimensional the flower and is just so right, wonderful. I like the periwinkle colour of card, it is so lovely and soft looking a colour.
"P" in Wales, i am so sorry that you have lost your little Molly. Although i am not a cat person i know just how much love they give unconditionally. It's amazing how clapping a 4 legged faithful friend can release so much without realising. They come for a cuddle as is they know you are in need and they listen without judgement. I know that there is a number of us that knows your pain and would give you a hug and an ear if only we could, some like Tina who is just trying to come to terms with each day without her beloved Berkeley. We are here for you when you need us, flower. Tina, i am hoping that you will find comfort in remembering Berkeley's funny bits that she did and be able to come back to us soon as we are all thinking of you.
Lynda, i really need to find my brain and soon. I read it as you were at Broadstairs....ooops,sorry. I know i have a giggle when people see Glenochil and say is that not where the prison is and i reply yes, but they let me out on good behaviour. Now that Steph has her younger brain back, i notice there was no news of mine and how she manage to get a younger one back in place of her own i wonder. Who does she know that we don't that she can't get back one younger than the one that went away to meet mine up the Ochils? I think it might have got missing in action, although i don't know what action that might have been. I'm hoping that it stays away now until after the show as then it can't tell me off and nark at me to be sensible.
Have a great day everyone even if it is the most rotten of weathers, think on a sunny destination and let your mind drift off to peaceful shores.
Love and crafty hugs to ALL of the most terrific people assembled in one very special blog.
Norah (Glenochil)
Beautiful Card this morning Sue, Have a great Day Ex
ReplyDeleteHi Sue ,
ReplyDeleteLove today's card the periwinkle and gold are stunning together and that hydrangea stamp is calling me more and more . The way you have coloured the flower is beautiful I think a must buy is coming on for the distress markers !! All in all a gorgeous card thanks so much Sue.
Hugs

Hello Sue, Another beautiful card, I love all the components but for me the shadow effect on the background works really well. Enjoy the sunshine.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes. A beautiful springlike card with a lovely golden opulance, just right for a springlike morning. I must start to invest in a few TH distress ink pens (although I doubt the outcome would be as pretty as your's Sue) although I do remember loving colouring 100's of years ago.!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be another sad and weird feeling day for you Pam, thinking of you trying to get through today, as Im thinking of Tina and family, we are here for any Wilsonette that's going through dreadful times, and feeling sad and unwell - YOUR NOT ALONE.
Off for a battery of tests today, scans, bloods, injections etc so NO playtime for me today : (
I think I remember reading one of our Wilsonettes are getting their nerve blocks today ? Hope it works and helps you lots.
Sending love n Hugs.
Lancashire Steph xx
WAUW this is sooooo beautiful Sue. I love the gorgeous blue color, you´ve used for it, and the flower itself looks fabulous too. Awesome creation, soooo beautiful.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWell, you've done it again. When I saw the stamp first time, I wasn't overwhelmed,but seeing this card it is beautiful. I love the colours and the style. So guess what's been added to the ever growing need list lol. Yes it is a definite need not a want. A real treasure of a card.

Morning Sue, How do you keep coming up with such stunning cards. Just when I think that I don't need anymore flower stamps for a awhile you bring us this wonderful hydrangea. Not being good at colouring i think that I will have a go at paper piecing so I can use up some of my patterned paper bits left over from other projects. Gold and blue look great and such a change from Blue and silver. What i would give to win this card, but at least it gives me something to aim for. Back to making a 40th birthday card for my stepson!!!Surrounded by stash but lacking ideas. Hugs Pauline A. x
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sue .... happy crafting x
ReplyDeleteMorning All.
ReplyDeleteWhen think of a colour to go with blue I always reach for silver but the gold on you card is lovely and rich. I shall have to try that instead of using the same colour combinations all the time.
I really like that background stamp - might just have to get that one.

Beautiful card Sue and such intricate colouring, love from Jackie D

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card today using the hydrangea set of stamps. I do love the tufted background. I wanted this for either Christmas or birthday. But somehow got the name wrong. the one I had was lovely as well. Love how you have used the colours for the flowers and the gold embossing on the background stamp. Would love to win a Sue Wilson creation. Hope your hospital visit isn't to traumatic today Steph, and sending hugs to everyone else in Sue Wilsom land.
Good Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card using the Hydrangea, the techniques you have used show this stamp at its' best. The colours are just beautiful.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card, love the hydrangea stamp and how you've coloured it, mind you if I tried to cut it out it wouldn't look anything like yours!! Maybe that's why I like stamps that have matching dies!!
Good luck to everyone I know we would all love to have one of your cards Sue
Best wishes, Pat
Good Morning Sue, love this card. I like what you did with the blue shadowing, really adds depth. Valerie
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, I wonder how you come up with your ideas sometimes, this card is beautiful. I don't have this stamp BUT I have a blue hydrangea bush in my garden which I have taken photographs of in the past, so I was thinking I could print off a photo and cut it out and use that! Would it work I wonder. Take care everyone, Jess x

Hi Sue, a stunning card. Love the Hydrangea stamp. It reminds me of mym Mum's old house as she had loads in the front garden.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card, yes another to add to my list of cards to make (try to make)
When I first looked at the picture of this card I really thought you had used an embossing folder for the background - you really have created a wonderfully illusion using the blue to shadow the gold lines. And when I first saw the hydrangea stamp I thought - okay - fine another stamp - now I look and think I want I want I want ..... Sue you have made me fall in love with this stamp!!!
I would so love to give this card a home I promise you it would be treasured.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Sending everyone who feels ill or under the weather, sad or low for any reason - a big big crafty hug.LOL
Hi Sue this is a gorgeous card,the colours and stamp are beautiful. I love these flowers on the plants in real life. To me this card looks like a wall hanging because it is dimensional. Don't know why it seems different as other cards are also dimensional. May be the flower coming through the background.

P in Wales, I was so very sorry to hear of the very sad loss of Molly your little cat. I have a cat to and I just don't know what I will be like when his time comes.

Hi June ballenger, Just to let you know that the periwinkle blue card is known as Foundations card by Creative Expressions I think. You can buy it from Sam Poole's shop or Emerald Crafts both are internet shops. Just pop the names into a search bar and they should come up. I think Julia Watts may have it to on her Amazon shop on the net to. Hope this is helpful love Tres x x x
ReplyDeleteThe colours on this one are awesome! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, what a beautiful card! I just LOVE the periwinkle card colour. I love it so much I dont want to use it! You just keep on coming up with such lovely cards, I don't know how you do it, but keep it up please, we all love your inspiration. Love Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love that periwinkle blue card and that Hydrangea stamp is just fabulous.
I might try stamping the Hydrangea on parchment and emboss it a little as a special for my sister.

Those beautiful hydrangeas again! We have some lovely deep pink/rose coloured varieties up here in Scotland, and this card would work really well in those colours too. Thanks for sharing, Susan x

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone,
Oh Sue, I really , really, really love this card! The hydrangea stamp definitely on list! Your colouring technique is so subtle and realistic! I am also seriously thinking of investing in the Tim Holtz pens! The hydrangea looks just like the ones in my garden! I agree with previous posts re: blue / silver. Will now be trying blue/gold. Creative Expressions card is gorgeous - all colours are lovely!
We travel home tomorrow after a lovely week in sunny Spain! Back to the grindstone - but every cloud has a silver lining! Also back to crafting!! Am getting withdrawal symptoms!
Love and good wishes to all who are sad or unwell!
Hope today's tests go well Steph!
Have a lovely time all those going to SECC !
Love Myra
Your cards are so gorgeous, like what you did with the stamp set, the colors are just right.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Hi Sue, this is a really pretty and fresh looking card. Like the shadow idea on the lines in the background, gives it some depth. I see you've posted some TV dates for the end of this month - can't wait already!! Have a great day everyone. Love Karen xx
ReplyDeleteOh so gorgeous, love the colour, waiting for this stamp to arrived, loved the card last week so ordered it, would love to give this card a new home, xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue! What an elegant card. The combination of the gorgeous blue and gold are so beautiful. Love the way you lined around the diamond shapes. This would be a perfect card to frame! Thanks for the chance to win it!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Pat
What a gorgeous card! This stamp is now on my wish list. You have great coloring on the flower.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Card a Sue!
ReplyDeleteLove the colour combo, so pretty. The Hydrangea is coloured in beautifully and reminds me so much of my nan because when she was still with us she used to have a large Hydrangea plant in the middle of her front garden which was a very similar colour.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Thank you again for your work. You make it look easy but I know it's not because I'm trying to re-create and it's impossible. I'm just in awe! Myra from florida

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteSuch a stunning card, I have looked in from time to time, and your cards have been beautiful.
P in Wales. I was'nt going to post today, but I read your sad message yesterday about your lovely puss cat. I 'm so so sorry, I have been thinking of you X. It's a week today since my Berkeley dog went to sleep it's been so sad and very quiet, even my 2 cats have gone quiet.I would like to say thank you to all the lovely ladies that still send kind thoughts, love and hugs. It means so much I just can't tell you, and it does help. Thank you all .

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning. I love the colours, the gridlines you've done so cleverly and the flower itself. My Nan had a bed of hydrangeas outside her kitchen window and they always make me think of her.

Wow! This elegant card is stunningly beautiful! I am a great fan of JustRite stamps and dies and could certainly give this card a loving home!
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue
ReplyDeleteBoy, oh boy what a stunner! It's the little details in this card that make it simply wonderful. I read through your description on how it was made and made my own rough sketch using dies and stamps that I already own, so now I can make something similar but adding in my own touches. Thank you Sue for so carefully writing up how you make your cards, as I'm sure I and others would still be scratching our heads trying to work it out! lol.
Hugs

This is another really lovely card with the hydrangea. I can't wait for my stamp to come. There was a 7-14 day delay in ordering it!! Still, hopefully, I will have lots of ideas for when it does arrive. Thanks as always Sue.

ReplyDeleteMeant to say Happy 40th Birthday this morning but my mind went AWOL - hope you have a great day.
To all animal friends - Alison, June, Norah, Tres, Tina and of course Sue - thank you so much for heartfelt messages today. Don't really know why I posted my own grief, just wanted Molly to have an epitaph, I think. Do have other animals, and each is loved for who they are.
