Hello crafters! I absolutely love this card. There is just something about it that sings to me! I wanted to share it with you today so I have decided to put it up on offer as the card in this week's giveaway. I started by stamping a piece of
coconut white card with the flower from the
Justrite stamp set called Stitched flower. I used
clear Perfect Medium and heat embossed it with
True White detail powder. Using the
Decorative Frames set B from the California Collection, I cut an aperture in the centre of the card. I added mounting foam to the background and added it to another piece of white card. I recessed the die cut from the aperture and glued it into place. I stamped the tag from the
Baking Labels set and heat embossed it with white powder as well. I cut it out with the matching
Vintage tag and used
Shaded Lilac Distress ink to highlight it. I stamped my sentiment from the
Bold Sentiment set and cut it out with the
Set A from the California Collection. I inked it with
Shaded Lilac as well. I mounted the pieces up in the centre of the aperture, then started work on the floral embellishment. I used a piece of the purple felt from the
Vintage felt pack and cut out the
Filigree Ribbon and glued it in place across the card. I made a rolled felt flower and added it to the side on top of some white tulle. I cut a
faux quilled leaf and cut it into pieces and used them around the flower. I finished the flower with a pearl in the centre and a couple of matching stick pins that I made from my crafty stash. Double white pierced mats finished the card nicely. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. Leave me a comment if you would like to be in the drawing for this one! I will post the winner on Saturday's post. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
What a stunner!!! I can see why you love it so much. I adore the ribbon border cut from felt. Must try this. The flower stamp is gorgeous with it's little button centre. Thanks for sharing.
May I offer my deepest sympathies to Judy at this sad time.
Crafty hugs.
Hi Sue and everyone, this is such a pretty card. Love the stitched flower stamp they look so pretty.
Judy sorry to hear of the loss of your mum x
Hi Sue
I am just patiently (not) waiting for my flower and leaves dies to arrive from C&C. I just love playing with embellishments and these are gorgeous. This card is beautiful, love the felt too. Thank you for the inspiration
Morning Sue, A stunning card, I'm loving the background with the embossing powder and the felt flower is gorgeous.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue,
Love the shaded lilac colour and the way you have mixed the die sets to show how they really can go together. It's no good I really will have to have a go at an aperture card. Beverley W
Gorgeous card and I love how you have cut the ribbon part of the bow die out in the felt, will be giving that a go.
Hazel xx
Morning Sue.
I had forgotten about the lovely flowers you used to stamp in the background, they are so pretty.
The colour of this card is so nice and the aperture you cut out just make this card look great.

morning Sue
Today's gift is such a beautiful and simple looking one and will certainly be going into my 'less is more' file. The colour scheme so delicate and I can see many occasions it would fit into.
My awaited die arrived here in Burgundy yesterday from Joanna Sheen and guess what is was 'Calabria'. Having watched your video yesterday morning thinking 'I would love to have a play' it appeared in my post box. So I got to play a little and hopefully more today after I try and find a nice techy person who might be able to repair my Tablet which died on me last night (oh for the days of pencil and paper - I sometimes wish they were still here at least when my pencil nib broke all I had to do was grab a knife or sharpener and with a few twists everything back to working order). The die is so much better in real life Sue. It's stunning and so easy to work with. Hope you're having a good time and have met with Mom's breakfast friends. Take care and see you tomorrow.
Janet x
Good morning Sue and everyone.
A simply beautiful card, love everything about it.
My thought are with those who are in pain, especially Judy and Tina; I echo Kitty's words.
Sue xxx
Hi Sue,
This card has more than the WOW factor. It's the stamps, dies, felt and of course, the pins. Like you, I want to put them on all my cards. Love it.
Now just you take it easy, though knowing you, you will be busy making cards in your Mom's kitchen.
Anne, we will be 'Up in your neck of the woods' later in the year. We spend 5 weeks touring Scotland Sept/Oct in our motorhome and on our way down from Duness, stop over at either Poolewe or ' The Sands' at Gairloch.

Good morning Sue and all followers.
This is a stunning card this morning.
Have a great day everyone.

Good morning sue WOW what a stunning card I love it. I like how you have made the background. I have just got the right place for it in my craftroom ive even cleaned it. Take care Sue xx
Debs A
Super card, Sue, just love the 'embellishment' and felt ribbon. You've inspired me to try lots of new things, one of which is trying similar embossed backgrounds to this one - and lost my big wuss fear of stamps into the bargain!!
'P' in Wales
Hi to yorkielass! Do hope some improvement for your lovely Dad, Tina. So sorry to hear of your loss, Judy, and also AnneRD. Tandy, hope all your spirits were lifted by the holiday.
Morning Sue. Hope you are having a great time with your family and getting some well earned rest before you start on your cards with your new dies. The card is stunning. I know what you mean when you say it ticks all the boxes. The white on white with the flowers is lovely and using felt for the boarder and flower just finishes it off beautifully but what does it for me is your hat pins. Can you not get creative expressions to do a selection of beads so us crafters could replicate your beautiful hat pins. Keeping my fingers crossed that it may happen. Thanks.
Best Wishes.
Denise x
Good morning Sue,
Love the card, I had not seen the flowers in the background, until I read the instructions, the flowers are lovely.
Gail Cx
Stunning card Sue. The background is gorgeous.
I absolutely love the card, too - everything about it, including the wonderful embellishments. I wouldn't have thought of cutting the felt with the filigree ribbon die - superb finishing touch.
Morning Sue,
This is fabulous, so love the design, composition and colours. Beautiful card.
Love & Hugs

Hi Sue and all. Another winner. What I would give to have your imagination Sue. As I am relatively new to the blog and I don't manage to read all comments or make one every day, I do not feel I "know" everyone yet. However I do send condolences to any of the gang who have suffered a loss. You all seem so supportive to one another which is lovely to see.Sue, I hope you enjoy your break with your mum. I ordered some of your dies from Joanna Sheen as she is free P&P, even to Ireland. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw that!! Can't wait for my dies to arrive and start experimenting. Hugs from Ireland. Evelyn x
Hi Sue I love this card, the stamped flowers in the background and felt flower in lilac/blue looks stunning. Your dies are great and cut so well.

Good morning Sue
Today's card is gorgeous and ticks all my boxes as well. I love your Californian dies they are so versatile. I haven't tried cutting borders out of felt yet but must do it because it looks fabulous. Your pins are always amazing how I wish I could go through your craft stash lol. I hope you are relaxing at your Mom's and taking loads of photos.

Maggie x
Hi Sue,
B E A U T I F U L. Just beautiful, everything about it. I really must craft with apertures and setting the focal point inside them, it is so effective.
Patricia, from what I can remember, it is a strip of felt folded over, the ends glued together and then cut into which gives you the "petals". Then it is rolled as normal. I'm sure Sue will correct me if I'm wrong.
My condolences to Judy, it is so hard. Hugs to all who need them.
Sue, hope you're having a ball.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue and everyone
Wow, a fantastic card today in my favourite colours too. I love the flower that you have made from felt, but cannot see how you did this, it is just beautiful and I would love to win it as we all would, you are very kind to give us the opportunity. Sincere condolences go out to Judy.
Love and hugs to everyone

Good morning Sue. Love the card and the colours are beautiful. The flower and ribbon are gorgeous. Enjoy staying with your Mum Crafty hugs Ann x
I think you made this card especially for me Sue , Lol! I love absolutely every single thing about it , the stamped flower background , the die cut aperture and the felt filigree border ribbon and flower , the colour ( I'm in awe) and not forgetting the stick pins it's just heavenly!
My thoughts are with you Judy and Tina, and others in pain.
I enjoyed hearing about your adventures in the converted caraVANette Norah,you were lucky you got proper holidays, I was brought up in a village called Strone ( near Dunoon) and as we lived at the seaside we were taken to Blairgowrie berry picking! ( by the way ,my little brother always called them caravancans and so they have remained!
Floss , when you are up this way please let me know and maybe we could meet , I live not far from Big Sands.
Cameeli your table decorations sound beautiful ! Good to see you back Yorkielass. Hugs to all xo
Hi Sue,
Today's card is absolutely gorgeous! I love it! The flower is beautiful - is there a tutorial for this one or a video? It almost looks like a Catherine Wheel. I have a 60th card to make so I think I might just have to do something very similar to this (similar mainly because I haven't got any of the dies/stamps you've used!!) hope you are having a lovely time with your mom.
Tina so sorry to hear your dad is so poorly, but he is in the best place to get all the treatment he needs. July my deepest condolences to you on the loss of your mam - I know exactly how you are feeling, it is just over a year since my mam passed away. To everyone else in need sending you lots of love and crafty hugs. Love Alison xxxx
I love this card Sue, gorgeous colour, loving the felt flower (need a tutorial!!) can't wait for my California dies, quilled leaves and whatever else I bought (sometimes you just go into a bit of a buying frenzy, don't you!) to arrive so I can try to make something very vaguely resembling this! X
This is so pretty!! So many different textures and layers in one card! I love the stitched flowers, it's on my wish list! Jo xx
How beautiful, would love to win it:-). All your cards are stunning and mine have def improved since using the techniques and ideas you share. Thank you.

Morning all, No wonder you love this card, Sue, it is beautiful. I adore the felt ribbon, but just EVERYTHING is perfect.

Cheers

Another stunner. Take care. Claire
Hi Sue,
looked at your card first thing this a.m., just had to come back and look at the beautiful detail.I`m lucky to have some of the dies and stamps, so will be following your instructions very closely in different colours.A super lovely cheerful card.
hope you are finding time to chill out and recharge your batteries!
have a great time,
Laura,puppywalker
A wonderful card,love the colours.
Judy,deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mother,thinking of you and your family.
Good morning Sue and what a lovely shade to today's card. Using the felt to make the ribbon across the card has die cut so well and sits so well with the white embossed flower background. Love from Jackie D
This card sings to me too! It's gorgeous, and the lilac strip 'lifts' it somehow without being too overpowering. The embossed flower background is subtle too. Lovely card for the giveaway. Crossed fingers!!
Morning Sue,
Oh another stunningly elegant card today....always love it when you do a touch of lilac with white.
Hope you're managing to get some 'chill out' time with your Mum Sue.
My thoughts are with Judy and her family.
Love Sheila xx
Morning Sue
Exquisite card this morning just love it. Love how you have cut the felt for the ribbon.
Hope you have rested and enjoying time with your Mum

Hello Sue - back again after many days away. Firstly many congratulations on your week-end programmes - been waiting for you to present your gorgeous dies. Hubby managed to record some of them (that's more than expected! lol) so will enjoy them soon. I'm sure you had lots of sell outs and that it was a great success. Just looking at the last couple of posts it seems I've missed more than your fab samples. So sorry that there seems to have been some unhappinesss on your blog. I've been a follower from the very beginning and of course in those days there were not the huge number of comments that there are now. Times change and so has your blog - it's to be expected I guess with all the social media networks around (not me though - do not do. Can't tell you how much distress FB has been to a dear member of my family). However, the reason that most folk (including myself) visit your blog is firstly to see and be inspired by your amazing designs and secondly to be cheered up! So although going through my own private hell at the moment I am not going to dwell on that but leave you with a funny story that happened when I got back on Monday. Over the week-end two lovely chaps built my polytunnel on my allotment (only waited 30 years since having one when my children were small) and went up there to view and plan. Got caught in a huge storm - thunder, lightening the works and took shelter in my lovely tunnel. Did a little victory dance to celebrate - well quite a big one really - and then when the storm was passing put my nose out and realised that I had been spotted by another gardening sitting in his car facing my plot. He must have thought that I was either fighting off a wasp, completely flipped or heaven forbid doing a rain dance that had caused the downpour in the first place. Must remember that you can see through the plastic! Hope you are having better weather with your Mum, have a lovely time Sue - you work so hard. If I go AWOL again you will know why - sadly no internet there. Hope to be back for a few days at least. Love to all the Wilsonettes. X
Gorgeous card Sue! Love the white on white embossing, another something new for me to try and also love the felt flower - remember seeing you do this on C&C so may give it a go later. Agree that it would be great to have some bead selections so we could imitate your stick pins - love them! Best wishes to all Gx
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
Another gorgeous card and topped of lovely with the felt filigree border. It's amazing how you have managed to get the border cut in the felt with it being so detailed and colour is stunning. I see you have made the pins to match the felt, which it does brilliantly. I ordered up the whimiscal flowers stamp set when i seen your card that had them coming out of the different apertures as i just loved that card. Thank you Sue for your continuing inspiration that you give so freely to us as it does inspire us to try other things.
Cameeli, what a great idea in the wish tree for the young couple and so different. I think that the bride should have been hijacked into helping along time ago. There is not a feeling like it when you put your own personal touch on your wedding to make it that bit different from any other. My mum did so much for mine and made me a long mohair cape/coat with a hood and leg of mutton sleeves to give enough room for the puff of my wedding dress sleeves. I made Swiss lace hooded capes for the flower girls to match their dresses( i got married in the January with the snow/slush on the ground) and so many people commented on them. I might not have had a Ritz wedding, but i had a truely fantastic comedy of errors wedding.
I see we have a lot of new names on our blog..A BIG WELCOME TO YOU ALL. You have joined what is no less than the greatest blog family ever. We have without a shadow of a doubt the very best and talented crafter in Sue, but also the kindest and loveliest inspirational crafter that we are so lucky to call our friend.
AnneRD and Judy M, if we had only known dear ladies what you were going through we could have banded together to give you both the support and ears that you needed at such a trying time for you both. The best thing about this blog as apposed to any other on the planet is we really care about each other and although we can't physically be there to give you a cuddle just when you need it, we are always open to listen and send up wee prayers and cyber hugs. I hope that we can be here for you now when you need us over this particularly hard year, as we do care for each other greatly.
Tandy flower, i hope that you got a great Scottish welcome when you were up in our beautiful country. We certainly were able to give you fantastic weather last 2weeks, but i hope we made you feel welcome as well. You are bound to have come across another Scottish dumpling like me who will give anyone a hello, good morning and a smile.
O o o my special(cos i don't have any real ones) niece that just got engaged has asked me if i can do her invites and wedding bits and bobs for her. Oh i'm so excited that she has asked me that it could be thunder and lightening and it wouldn't take the happy stupid smile off my face. And it won't have motorbikes, wheelbarrrows or any other hobby making them up. Her other half has said when asked when he is thinking on getting married(bear in mind it has taken him 9 years to get this far) "Oh, Fi hasn't told me yet", so she is looking at next summer. I need to get some prototypes made up for her so that she can let me know just what she is looking at as i don't think she has went down that road yet. Oh i'm fit to burst today with excitement.
Well it's a bit misty on my hills today, but i hope that it lifts with the brighter skies trying to show their faces. Take care everyone from the Costa de Glenochil, i wish you a great day,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)

Hello Sue. This card sings, dances and tells jokes. It's the best. Love the simple stamping, the colour, the flower and the felt ribbon. In fact everything. Have a great day all. xx Maggie (better without a bow - see?)
Always love the cards you make and this is just perfect. I love the splash of colour from the felt flower and filigree ribbon. It's beautiful felt and cuts the detail so well, Great, just beautiful Sue xxx
The lilac on white colour combination is so effective and the felt filigree ribbon and rolled flower really are beautiful finishing touches. Another stunning card, but I've come to expect nothing less. I really look forward to visiting the Particraft blog each day. Thanks for sharing your talent with us all. Nic xx

Love this, especially the blue flower - I'm with Patricia on this, I'd love a video tutorial on how to do it! Thanks for including the tip on how to attach and cut the tulle bow on one of your shows this weekend - I'll have to have another go!! Susan x
Love this card and one of my favourite colours too.
Well who Wundt want to be in the draw for such a beautiful card Sue! To own a Sue Wilson original has always been my dream but this one is just amazing. I love the colours, the dimension and all the elements. It just makes my heart happy.

Good morning, Sue. What can I say, I love the embossing, and the stamping enhances the die cutting beautifully. I'd be a really proud owner of this card, should my name come out of the hat.
Hi Sue and Wilsonettes. Hope you are starting to feel 'more human' Sue and settling back into your Floridan way of life. Cold and dull in Bolton, so a prisoner today : ( never mind, that means a craft day when my body and hands feel 'up to it' but for how long is out of my hands !
What a pretty fresh card today, it will be a very happy Wilsonette that gets to love and stroke this giveaway, good luck all.
I feel I NEED the new Jusrite stamp as its so pretty and summery, just nice to use for the up and coming summertime markets, hope we get the warm weather to go with the warm summery looking stamp !
I too would love to have a peek at butterfly world Cam if possible ?
Its so nice to see the numbers rising here again, to all newbies please stay and join a very happy Wilsonette family.
Does anyone know the actual day og Sue's mom's birthday ? Was thinking it would be lovely for mom to see 150+ 'Happy Birthday's' what do you all think - agree ??
Just want to send gentle caring cuddles to all that need them today, they cost nowt so take all you want : )
Hugs to all.

Yet another stunning card today. I love the felt flower, and it's a lovely colour combo.
Judy, Thinking of you at such a sad time.
Hi Yorkielass!!
Kind regards to everyone :-)
Tina XX
What a happy card. It must be due to the flowers in the background which appear to be smiling - a bit like pansies do. I hadn't thought of die cutting the borders in felt and so glad to see that it works. Thanks for the inspiration Sue,

Sooooo gorgeous work here again Sue, I just love it.
Hi Sue

Maria
Absolutely beautiful card
Hi Sue. Hope you had a good time with your Mom. Love todays card it is stunning. The colours are super are you planning on a Video for us crafters out there.?
Wonderful card Sue.
I missed your programmes on tv but I have lots of recorded programmes to look back on. I've also started a file where I keep all the 'must try this technique' cards. Some I have printed off - (hope that's ok by you) and then I can take a sheet and the necessary bits and bobs and make a card when I have time. Being retired time is one thing I have lots of!!! I don't think. When did I ever find time to go to work.

Beautiful as always Sue, the colour is coming upbeautifully on my screen, who ever wins this onewilldefinately be in for a treat.
Hugs to all
Hi Sue and all crafty Wilsonettes!
Today's card is gorgeous! I love it, love it love it! I adore the colours used and into the bargain have all the bits to make it! Will definitely try to do so later on.
The felt flowers are so tactile and I saw a demo of them too - strip of felt folded in half and glued together down the edge. Then snip into the folded edge all the way along , then using as little glue as possible - Sue 's tip - roll the flower up. If its base is too thick - trim it . If I can do this anyone can ! Hope this helps a little.
Cameeli butterfly ideas are so lovely! Like the idea of a good wishes tree!
Pam you get us off to a good start each day! Still thinking of you.
Tina trust your Dad is a little bit better.
Have a good day everyone!
Sue, hope you are recovering from a busy weekend and a long haul flight. Love x
Love to all, Myra
A truly beautiful card Sue and fantastic giveaway. xx
Hi Sue. You are so right to love this card. I do too. Oh to win it lol.
I uploaded a card I'd made to the creative expressions page on Facebook using very similar colours. I think the colour oozes love. There is a peace and serenity surrounding this colour in my eyes.
I hope all the wilsonettes are as well as can be, I'm growing very attached to this blog and it's lovely to see so many regular names leaving comments. We all have something in common regardless of whatever background we have, our love of craft and you and your amazing mind. Forever grateful to you For showing me and teaching and sharing your talents.
Lots of love, Jo xxx

To all "Wilsonettes" hugs and love sending your way. x x x
I like this card very much and it has reminded me to add some beads to the hat pins I am adding to a card I am currently making.
Another gorgeous card. How do you do it so talented. Running about today as usual but sitting waiting on hubby coming from a hospital appointment. He suffers from chronic pain and its so hard for us but we struggle on as you just have to no point in dwelling on it. Hope to have time to craft at the weekend.

Hi Sue What a Truly Awesome Card, I must say when I first saw these Stamps from JustRite sadly I wasn't taken with them, But then they got the Sue Wilson touch and seeing what you have achieved with them, I've now completely changed my mind and I wish to purchase them.
I Love how you've created your Background using The Flower and Heat Embossing in White it is so effective, then cutting out the aperture which I just love when your looking into a recess. Fabulous Tag from The Baking Labels Set so pretty and the close up shots showing how you have white embossed this also are just excellent, then adding a touch of Shaded Distress Ink from Sir Tim just highlighting the edges this colour is so pretty, then using a sentiment from your Fantastic Bold Collection, Your Embellishments are another Beautiful Part of your Cards I truly Love how you have used your Beautiful Felt Pack cut The Filigree Ribbon and your Flower and those Stunning Faux Quilled Leaves your Awesome Pins this Is Overhaul Absolutely and Truly a Exceptional Card like always.
Thanks for sharing and for Fantastic Close Up Shots.
Take Care Sue
Love and Hugs from Sam x
