Morning all! I love the sheer simplicity of this one, although I had to fight myself not to add some flowers to it! LOL I stamped black card with the
Beaded Elements swirl using a
clear Perfect Medium pad and heat embossed with
black embossing powder for a tone on tone look. Background sorted! On a piece of
coconut white card, I stamped the
Birdsong Meadow using a
Black Archival ink pad. I used the outer die from the lovely
Cordoba die set and cut it out. I cut a small circle out of copy paper and placed it in the upper corner. Using
Mustard Seed distress ink on a piece of cut 'n dry foam, I inked around the circle by lightly pouncing around it rather than the usual circular motion. This is because it is very easy to get underneath the edge of the copy paper otherwise. As I moved outwards from the starting point, I added
Spiced Marmalade then
Barn Door Distress inks and blended the colours into each other. I removed the circle which created a white void and stamped my sentiment in black across it. I mounted it up on foam for dimension an added my pierced mats to complete this simple card. Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. I will definitely have to try this technique. I hope your mum had a great birthday. Love Jackie
Wow! LOVE This Card! Reminds me of a stunning sunrise or sunset, the bird stamp is beautiful and so effective and the tone on tone black embossing background is perfect ! Definitely one to try.
Special hug Pam, I always think you are doing well when I see you first on our blog each morning, but know some days must be harder than others xo
We have had a fantastic week of good weather up here in Gairloch so I have been working hard in the garden and making the most of it ,so haven't done much crafting.
Sue Hope you had a wonderful day with your mum and she enjoyed her birthday .
Hugs to all xo
Morning Sue, A lovely card today, loving the background and the cordoba die is really beautiful.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Another lovely idea for some of my favourite stamp and die 'sets'.
Hi Sue.Today's card is stunningly beautiful ~ it makes me think of the end of a lazy day in the sun and a gorgeous sunset. The stamp is just perfect with it! Thanks for sharing this little gem. Hugs,
Maggie x
Hi Sue. This is a beautiful card, I love the way the Cordoba die makes a gorgeous frame around the Birdsong Meadow stamp, and then the way you have coloured it....fantastic : )I hope your Mom enjoyed her birthday:)
Pam, we would all be knocking on your door all day giving you our love and hugs but sadly have to make to with sending them this way. You are doing so well, even when you don't think so. I am sending you extra big hugs and my love.
Also hugs to all others that need one.
Glad that you can relax now Cameeli.
Take care.
morning Sue
Today's gift is definitely a piece of Art. It may be simple to cut stamp and assemble but the colouring is the difficult bit for me.
Although I'm not a fan of a lot of black today's gift uses the background as it's frame.
I love the bird song pasture stamp.
Hope everyone had a good week-end and has started the new week off well. Take care and see you tomorrow.

Hi Sue, lol I was working on a card just like this yesterday! Yours is stunning! Have a fab day, hugs, Carole Z X
GM Sue - love this card both the stamp and the wonderful Cordoba Die - I do like those sunset/silhouette type cards that have a distress ink background but my blending is a bit splodgy at times - think I need to practice this technique more.

Hello Sue
This is a gorgeous card. I love how the wild flowers and seed heads stand out agains the skyline. I had a similar die for years and until I had learnt how to produce this background effect i never used it as it never looked anything but I just love doing cars like this as they never fail to bring a sigh of joy!
Have a great day everyone Wilsonette's old and new.
So lovely to see Sue's viewing figures soar again back up to where they were originally and it is lovely to see a happier and more cheerful upbeat blog again!

Good timing with this card on dull days we need a touch of colour. Mabex
GM Sue! A stunner for us today! It is gorgeous.
Hugs Annie
Hi Sue, Hope you had a lovely weekend, this beautiful definitely does not need flowers. It could easily be framed as a picture by the recipient. Best wishes Edwina.
Good morning Sue
Wow! Today's card is beautiful I love it, from the background to the main image. The stamps you've designed to go with your stamps are all 'must haves' they are fabulous. Hope your Mom had a fabulous birthday
Hugs x
Heather T
Really love the look of this card. The stamps are fab.
Beautiful card ,and stunning colours. One for the guys or the gals! Hope alls well across the water.x x
This card does not need a flower Sue -it is beautiful just as it is -love it !
XxxRuth
Pam -xxxto you
This is quite different to your usual cards Sue, but the pricking holes around the edge give you away! The sheer 'light' that comes from the stamped image is so effective and striking. Lovely card. No need for flowers!!
Good morning Sue. Very effective despite being relatively simple. Like others have commented, my blending needs some work to make a perfect picture like yours. These landscape stamps were a great addition to the dies. Hope to see some more in the next set. Hope the celebrations are continuing. X
WOW ! This card really does welcome you to the start of a new week. So colourful and vibrant, a very happy start to a dull grey day.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, Im more than certain your wonderful mom had a perfect birthday yesterday, and so many greetings to read, how lovely.
Friends forever, says it all really, and this is our sentiment for you Sue.
Oooooo I must think about buying this stamp, but will have to wait until the expense of the wedding is over ! I will have to trawl through my supply of stamps to see if I can improvise. I also love the frame and at last I can say I have that die : ) woohoo that doesn't happen all that often.
2 orders from yesterdays market to start today. And for all those lovely friends that gave me help and advice re the cow/sheep wedding card - well the customer that ordered it was really happy and apparently forfilled her expectations over and beyond ( wasnt sure how to take that ) LOL what was she trying to say lol that she didnt expect much or what ?! It made my day though, as I was quite nervous as whether she would like it (wipes brow)
Pam - I too admire your strength.
Tina - In my thoughts.
Friendly hugs to all that are in need today. Relax Cam : )
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx
Hi Sue,
Stunning card, love the wide frame and vibrant colours too.
Donna Jones
Wow this is so striking and definitely doesn't need embellishing
Hi Sue- A stunning card again today.
Love the colouring and it is perfect for a man's card. Would love to see a demo of you doing this as I always get a blotchy look when trying this out. Hope your mum had a fantastic birthday yesterday. Love and best wishes
YvonneMayxx
Very dramatic background to the stamping Sue. The apertures make the artwork really pop, very effective. Anne x
WOW! I'm on your wavelength for this card because I have these inks and the die! The only thing I haven't got is the stamp I'm a cd crafter usually and I think I can produce something similar I like the plain white border around the image It really makes it pop Look after yourselves everyone
A very striking card, the colours are very cheerful on this dull day. Beautiful, and as the saying goes - less is more:-)
Morning Sue
Wow stunning card, just love the colours, lovely bight summery card

Carol x
Hi Sue,
Hope you had a fantastic day yesterday and that your Mom had a lovely birthday.
Love today's card - very striking and stunning. I even like the black background lol! This would be suitable for male or female cards and I'm sure the recipient would be blown away. The stamp is beautiful and it might be one that I have to get, I'm always a bit unsure of big stamps as they never seem to stamp right for me - there's always bits that I seem to miss. I suppose I'll just have to keep trying.
Cameeli so pleased you can now relax. Pam you are doing so well. Steph have a relaxing day after yesterday. Love and hugs to everyone that needs them. Love Alison xx
Morning Sue, love this card, I have this stamp and love using it with these colours too. Love Jean xxx

Hi Sue
Hope your Mum had a fantastic day yesterday. Just love today's card. The stamps, dies and colours used are lovely. Will try the pouncing technique around the sun. Glad you found your shoes Cameeli. Hugs to everyone who needs one today.
Well, Sue, you've done it again. Taken me by surprise with a very different type of card. No bows, flowers, ribbon etc. but just gorgeous blending and stamping. A stunner.
Hope your mum enjoyed her birthday with family and friends. x

Hi Sue, Wow another beautiful card! Certainly one to try.
I don't know if you can help me, but I have stopped receiving your daily posts by email:)
Carol robson
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
What a beautiful card that could be for anyone but what a brilliant one for the hard to make for members of our lives. The sunset colour scheme is so beautiful and so real looking. One of these days i might try doing this technique when i can be light of touch and not keep getting hard lines that won't blend out into each other. Please tell me that i am not the only hopeless blender of ink pads.
Fantastic Cameeli, so Cinderella shall go to the ball after all and not have to where her comfy trainers instead. I hope that now you are on the home stretch to finally adding a new daughter to you can relax and go with the flow until flower pick up day.
Lancashire Steph, so really happy that the lady loved your handmade piece of art for her. I am not surprised she loved it as you can not beat the personal touch and please, i hope that dispels any thoughts that keep niggling away at your confidence. Remember Steph, you are a Wilsonette, taught by the mistress of craft herself, so can't fail to produce top drawer mini masterpieces.
Wow Sue, it's fantastic that you had so many wonderful comments last week. I look now each day to see ever more comments being left by the time i am able to get on and i just think 'how really happy' i am for you, that your talents are being appreciated by a much wider audience each day, FAN DABBY DOZY. It normally runs altogether in the one word, but since it was a wee scots lady who acts like a wee mischievous boy that comes away with it, you might have a problem in pronouncing it, but it means brilliant around the rest of the world. So happy that more people are giving you a wee boost in the day to let you know about your latest masterpiece that you entice us with.
Well, it's a beautiful day up here at Glenochil looking over the valley to Alva and my beautiful Ochil Hills. I don't know when i like them most, when it is sunny or when they have just had their faces washed in the rain and they are lovely and bright that you can see all their crags and beauty that they hold to themselves. Anyway, i will leave you all now i have given the weather report for the Wee County, in Central Scotland and wish you all a lovely day. Take care all the Wilsonettes that are not on top (a bit like me) i send gentle hugs to all our special friends that need them so much. Just because the worse time has past, it doesn't mean we have stopped thinking of you, remember this.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)

Hi, a very different card today,but can still tell it's one of yours as it's so crisp.i think a video would be good of this design, know what you mean about flowers, sometimes I have to tell myself to step away from the card, leave it alone.

Hi Sue. WOW !! I saw this card at Alley Palley and you told me you would put it on your blog for us all to see. I am so glad you did. Great instructions for making it, and I bought this stamp from you so I could make this very card !! Just one problem though I do not have Mustard seed distress ink !! I do have wild honey and squeezed lemonade inks and I will try those instead !! I have everything else, so I will let you know how I get on. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful card today. I love the edge created by the gorgeous Cordoba die too.
I hope you are having a lovely holiday with your family and that your Mum had a wonderful Birthday yesterday. X x x
Lots of love to you Sue and all the Wilsonettes love Tres x x x

Love to you and Mom and all others who need hugs and comfort. Will miss this daily.
Take care all

Hi Sue, Today's Card is Truly Stunning, Vibrant and so Rich in Fabulous Colours. My kind of Card, just love it!

Hi Sue and fellow crafty Wilsonettes!
What a striking card today ! I know it's simple - but that's kind of in theory! Not quite so simple when I try! I thought of an African sky too with mabe an elephant or giraffe in the foreground! Can you see what you do to us? It is a lovely stamp but looks so finished , for want of a better word, in that gorgeous frame! I am waiting for mine to arrive.
Had fun yesterday making a shirt card using your bow and the matching ribbon dies as a ruff down the front. (2 strips) then used pearls for buttons. Hardest bit was getting the neck right but got there eventually cutting and folding! Great simple man's card! Thanks Sue!
Cameeli pleased you got your shoes and the butterflies sound gorgeous. Relax a little now.
Pam still thinking of you every day as some will be good and some very bad. X
Steph pleased all went well yesterday. Hope Cassie's training did too. x
Sending love to all crafting friends from a dull but dry and rather warm Lancashire.
Got children's craft again today after school - their holiday and mine is over!
Hay fever has started but mustn't complain as it is only for a few months - others have real pain all year round.
Trust yesterday went well Sue, and thanks!

Hi Sue and Everybody,
Today's card is magnificent in its vibrancy; your blending skills are to be envied. Mine are not!
When my dies and matching Spanish
stamps finally make their arrival, I shall try very hard to emulate this beautiful mixture of inks.
Thank you for sharing your inspirational skills; what would we do without you?

Hi Sue,
What gorgeous colours, guaranteed to warm us up whilst the weather is so uncooperative. The stamp is just lovely, reminds me of listening to the birdsong on a balmy summer evening. Hope they return soon.
The die is such a classic shape, so elegant with the contrast of white on black, and I didn't even miss the flowers!
I like this card for its refreshing simplicity and striking end result.
Hellooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! I've always liked this kind of card. It looks so vibrant, cheerful and the perfect medicine to brighten anybody's day with those stunning colours! I love the stamps and the Cordoba die is a wow! Thank you Sue and I hope you all had the most fantastic day together yesterday xx
A belated "Happy Birthday" to everyone who celebrated yesterday! Hope it was good one for you all!
Sending you a big big hug Pam x Norah, you have said everything shug, that we still think of everybody even when we have left this amazing blog....xx Oooo and even about the ink pads...will have to practice a bit me thinks! Thank you too for the beautiful vision of your Ochil Hills xx Cameeli so glad you found your shoes! It's chilling time for you now hun x Lynne M, hope you're resting and those fur babies aren't playin' up to you x Lyndsey, has foal number two arrived yet? x Lorraine, have a fantastic time in Majorca!

Lovely colouring and I really like the effect of the shadow stamps against that sky! Thanks, Susan x
Hi Sue, what a beautiful card no embellishments needed. I haven't done stamping but will have to try now. Have a good day everyone.

Super card today Sue. Love the clour combos. and especially love the black on black plus the stamp. Another must have! Hugs Maureen
Hi Sue
The card is beautiful and doesn't need anything else, good decision. Hope you had a good day yesterday. Best wishes to all.
Vanessa x
Beautiful card. I love the shading am going to try these colours myself now as they look great together. The Cordoba is my favourite die although they are all great. xXx
Hi Sue, what a bold and striking card today, a complete contrast to yesterday's (beautiful) pastel offering. Although it is so different I do love it. I have made something similar before but it wasn't anywhere near as good as yours - no surprise there, then lol - but the recipient loved it and to me that is what it is all about.
Happy bunny today as your bow dies, bow stamps and the Italian stamps collection have at last arrived. Hoping to have a play this afternoon after I have finished husband's birthday card for tomorrow!
Frances
Hi Sue,
This card might be simple to do but it is absolutely stunning to look at. It really does seem to prove the old adage - less is more. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Beverley W
This is so different for you Sue. Like you say no flowers but it truly doesn't need them. I love the colours. Could be used for either sex. Another fab card.
Lots of love, Jo xxx
Absolutely fabulous. My sort of a card. Off to buy this die and matching stamps.
now this really is beautiful - i love bright and silhouettes so you've really nailed it for me sue - beautiful xx
Hi Sue another stunner, what a lovely sunset look. have a Great Day Elaine x
Hi. Sue and other crafters,greetings from a very sunny Ireland,what a fantastic start of the week this card is,the sun the Birds,and your blending with the inks,.it is up beat and fresh,and I could look at it all day.
Thank you Sue for the inispration .

Sue - This beautiful card does not need any flowers or bows - the stamp, die and colours speak for themselves. Just gorgeous! Have everything but the stamp - oh heck. Dashing off now to my allotment as the weather has suddenly cheered up - hooray. Hugs for all X
Hi Sue, this is a stunning creation. Love the shading of the distress inks and use of the Cordoba die set. Just had to buy the stamp/die set when I saw this on your last set of shows as I know it will make a great card for hubby's birthday the end of this week. Hope you are enjoying yourself across the sea. lol lynne m x x x x
Lynda, Yorkielass, Magpie - thank you for your well wishes, had an IBS attack and the only thing that helps is to curl up in bed and go to sleep. Better now and don't I know it with poochies on top form.
Tipping down with rain here and I knew the little b's needed to go down the garden so I thought get them down there quick before they get too wet. Oh I will never learn, I go out onto the path with a brolly up and call them, do they come out like heck they do, while mum is trying not to laugh hysterically ( worried neighbours might call the men in white coats) sheltering under umbrella poochies are nice and dry sitting at the back door looking at me as if to say " what are you doing out there in the rain mum". I'm going to change now as clothes are wet through. lol and hugs to all "Wilsonettes".
Hi Sue, Hope that you haven't got a 'headache' after yesterday's celebrations and that you had a great day. Lovely bright card today and the inked background looks wonderful. Not one that I will be making in the near future; not because i don't like it but because my Italian set of dies arrived this morning and so i will be playing with them for quite some time. Wish that i'd bought the Californian ones as well. i must say that the dies are even better and bigger than they looked on C&C. Thank you Sue for bringing us such wonderful dies and stamps to 'play' with. They really are, something else. Hugs. Pauline A x
Have a fantastic holiday with lots of warm sun to bottle and bring back please. Have a glass or two for us whilst surfing lol, not that im promoting drinking, more like particraft surfing : ) hope you manage to pop in at some point during your Spanish holiday, see you back here soon.

Hi Sue, another beautiful card but so different from your usual cards. not like we are used to seeing, a card with no flowers or bows. Yvonne xxx
The Birdsong Meadow looks fabulous at sunset in Cordoba! Love the black on black - it makes a lovely background yet doesn't compete with the main image.
Sue
Gorgeous card Sue, the colours are just stunning, so vibrant!
Not a typical Sue Wilson card but a pleasant change, the piercing ruler still gives it away though.
Hope your mum had a lovely birthday with her friends and family!!!

I made a card using this stamp and die this weekend. I used the foliage pad from the big and juicy range. I was quite pleased with it but it is not as good as yours :-(

Hi to everyone. Only been blogging a short while but enjoying the camaraderie and getting to know some names. Love the colour and simplicity. Will have to improvise on stamp but the cards so versatile to do that. Luv jax
I like the card no what you mean about the bow lol

Love the zesty colours on this card Sue.
Hi Sue, I hope your Mum had a super day yesterday!! I just love this card, it's a style that I have never been brave enough to try...maybe I will summon the courage to have a go, after all it's only some card and ink in reality, if it all goes wrong!! Love Sam xxx
Lovely card today I love stamping. My C&C order has arrived, just need to find the time to play. Best Wishes Lilian
