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 and Everybody,
Brilliant card in every detail, thank you for sharing it with us.
Spent a lovely Easter Monday with the Spanish background and Granada, the dies I went for at the original launch; now waiting for Spanish Set2. (I wish I could retire and spend much more time crafting!)
My thoughts are with Tina in particular. I so hope that your Dad is rallying round and that he will soon be his 'old self'
Love to you all, Lis xx
Hi Sue,
Such an elegant colour combo, I love purple shades and the white on white stamping looks so delicate and pristine. I've been using the vintage coloured felt on my cards too, it gives them such depth and texture, and it die cuts beautifully. It makes a card stand out and look luxurious, which is bound to make the recipient feel special.
Hi Sue & Wilsonettes ,
Sue I hope you are a little bit rested now,today's card is GORGEOUS GORGEOUS I love the stamped background so pretty.The colour lilac one of my favourite used in that felt flower . I must try the aperture technique replacing the die cut back in,its so effective . I would love to win this masterpiece,but good luck to every one. Love to you Sue & your family Lynda Brock xx
Camille what a brilliant idea your doing with some of the butterfly's for guests to message on for the wish tree.hugs xx
Steph a great idea for Sue's mum.I hope you manage to do some crafting today wishing you well love xx
Norah glad your back telling your funny stories you made me smile today thank you for that,I needed cheering up today xx

Tina wishing your dad a speedy recovery xx
Hugs Pam your doing so well love xx
Wishing all old & new Wilsonettes love & hugs .Lynda xx
Apologies Sue I hope you don't mind me posting this blog
Hello Steph and to all Wilsonetts - I am almost sure it's Sues mother's birthday on 27 April. We could start off our comments with the Happy birthday Sues mom, would it be too familiar to say Jill? I can't remember the surname but I am sure someone in blog land will have remembered it!
Hope everyone is having a good day, Best wishes Brenda
What a stunning card, Sue. I think I love everything about it. I would love to go into the draw to win it please. It would be an honour to have a Sue original :)
STEPH
As others have said, Sue's Mom's birthday is on the 27th. You may like to look at the post for April 29th last year as Sue shared some great photos of the party day.
Just had a look again and it was a joyous and very special time. Wish my Mum was still here, she would have loved today's card.
'P' in Wales
This is beautiful, Sue.
Sue, what can I say, truly amazing, I love the colours but also what you have done with the dies and the embossing, it is something I would like to try. I also love the way you have done the flowers with the felt, did you ever make a video of how to do this because they really look so effective. Hope all is going well with your Mum and that she has a lovely birthday, hurry back soon, we miss you June xxx
Good Afternoon Sue,
WOW I love your card for today, It really appeals to my way of thinking about cards, so thankyou for the inspiration Sue.
Love Carol xx

Gorgeous card, yet again Sue. I love the colour of the flower and use of felt......
Simply lovely. The white on white embossing is perfect and the felt border looks delightful.
Thank you for this Sue, you have reawakened my interest in stamping. I had sort of "Forgotten" to stamp for some time. I am now busy checking that the inks are in good condition.
Regards.
Marilla.
Hi Sue

Hi Sue, what another great card. I love the classiness of the coconut white card you use, is it your own brand, where can it be ordered from? Another question what pins do you use to make your hat pins?i have lots of beads and crystals so would like to make some too.Wx
Love it, Love it, Love it. The background, the aperture, the colours and the felt texture. One of my all-time favourites. Anne x
Hi everyone.
Fab colours on todays card. Really love this one. Luv jax
Hi Sue Another stunning card. I think this colour blue is gorgeous and really makes this card look fab.
I'm soooo late today, but I did have a look this morning, just didn't have time to comment. How on earth do you come up with these ideas, you are a bottomless pit of inspiration! I just love this one, the colour is superb. Hope USA is going to plan. Hugs. Joan xxx
Beautiful cards as always Sue. Where can I purchase the blank hat pins that you use and decorate yourself. Ive been unable to source them. Thanks
Rena
I do love the white on white of the Stitched Flowers. They really do give the effect of stitching when viewed close-up. Your felt flower is gorgeous.
Sue

Gorgeous cardSue. Love the colours and the embossed background flower. In Fact, I love it all!! Hugs, Carol S.xx
Beautiful Sue! The stick pins that you have been making really finish your cards beautifully. Love your new leaf dies - they are fab!
HI
I like Steph's idea of a few hundred Happy Birthday messages to Sue's Mum. I am sure it's on 27th April which is Sunday.
Wow! What a beautiful card. I love the colours and the flower. Also like the idea of cutting the ribbon strip in felt - I will try this:)
Sue
What a lovely card today Sue! I have yet to try die-cutting felt. Managed to get the faux quilled leaves to go with all your other dies.
Jules
Beautiful card. I'm waiting for the stamps I ordered from your shows to arrive.
Donna
gorgeous card Sue.
another gorgeous card, really love the lilac rose and ribbon band, sets it of beautifully xx
Stunning is the only word I can think of today.
Am loving those stick pins you are making. I am tempted to have a go myself.
Luv
Karen xx
Hi Sue and all your followers. I love this card, the amount of variety you have put into the aperture has given it so much depth and interest. I would never have thought of using felt. I must dig out all those shrunken jumpers and do something with them! I've become a stick pin junkie, I recently made 8 pairs from bits and pieces from my bead stash. I have ordered the leaves and eagerly await them dropping through the mail. Fabulous card. I'm saving up for more of the dies from the collections. Best wishes to all Bertie.
hello Sue and Everyone,
Another beauty today Sue
I love the rolled felt flowers
I finished a card off yesterday
with the felt in pale blue
atop of white seam binding
and stick pins. hope everyone
has been ok today. from
Christine C and Ella
A beautiful classy design with just a pop of colour. I love the stamped flowers as a background, it's the little details that make a difference. Gorgeous, thank you x
Hi Sue

What a glorious card. How wonderful that you are sharing your tips, thank you

Hi Sue, what a lovely card. Sweet colour combination. Hope you are getting some 'me' time. Tried the High/Low technique last night with the Calabria die. First attempt not good! Second attempt I was pleased with it was high/low with fire and ice very happy with that:o) Waiting for my C&C bundle to arrive containing more of your beautiful dies, periwinkle cardstock and stamps - then it's playtime!!! Karen xx
Lovely card Sue, love the felt flower.
hi sue lovely card the flowers are nice I will have to have a go soon hope you are having nice time with your mum best wishes
Another wonderful card, Sue.
Love the stamped BG and the fabby felt flower and ribbon :)

I love your card too Sue! The embossed stitched flower background is so pretty and the purple felt filigree ribbon and curved flower really set the card off. Your California dies are so versatile and your creativity with them is stunning! Welcome to the USA again. Would love to see a show of yours here! Thanks, Karen
Hi Sue
What an Absolutely Stunning card. Love the leaf really stunning and the stamped background , everything on the card has the WOW factor
Take care

Sue,
What a lovely card, and the color is just perfect, I love the flower on the floral background. You did a great job, as usual.
Hi Sue, although it shows as blue on my screen and not my favourite lilac, I love this card and the flower is stunning. I have some of your felt from when you were on the time before last and I love it, it cuts beautifully. On the days when I am 'working' the evenings just seem to disappear and there are so many lovely comments to read through that I am frequently late to bed! Hope you are enjoying yourself and your mother's company.

Wendy!
You asked about stick pins! You can buy a little packet of blank pins maybe from Joanna Sheen 's website or Julia Watts - Inky Finger Zone- she has an amazon store. They cost very little and then you use your own beads or buy some. I stick mine with Glossy Accents. I hope this helps a little. Love Myra
Another stunner, the longer I look at it the more I see.
Hi everyone,
I LOOKED UP LAST YEAR'S BLOG AND IT IS SUE'S MOM'S BIRTHDAY ON THE 27TH APRIL.
Another stunning card Sue.Have a lovely day
Jeanxx

Hi Sue. I really love today's card, it is so pretty !! I love the background you have created with the new justrite stamps. I love the look of white on white embossing. Your Californian dies look great. I now have your decorative frames B set and I absolutely love it !! I do really like the justrite vintage tag dies to. The decorative felt border looks fab and that gorgeous felt flower is amazing !! Beautiful leaves and stick pins finish the card perfectly. I have just ordered your beautiful faux quilled leaf dies tonight from Joanna Sheen. I can't wait until they arrive.
I hope you are having a well deserved rest and spending valuable time with your family Sue. X x x
Judy, I am so sorry to hear of your sad loss. I am thinking of you and sending you lots of love and hugs x x x
Cameeli, I can't believe you made that many butterflies !! What a fab idea to make a butterfly tree for Wedding wishes. It all sound lovely. I made my sister in laws Wedding invitations with butterflies on. They seemed to take forever !! X x x

I love this card too, sorry a bit late in commenting but I got a bit carried away in my garden today, u see we moved into a derelict house two yrs ago house nearly finished but the garden was so overgrown, I had it cleared last yr and only had time to put in my paths and raised beds so this year is the fun bit buying plants and shrubs and filling it, its a massive garden and will take a lot to fil it but when its done it should look good lol so any plant cutting donations excepted lol no only joking.so thats why the late comment. But the card is lovely were do u get the ideas from hugs lorraine x
Stunning card angxxx
Hi Sue, whilst I'm new to commenting I'm not new to the blog. I've been following it every day for well over a year but your comments the other day made me realise that if we don't comment you might not do it anymore thinking no one is watching so I am going to make more of an effort to comment from now on!
Thanks for all your inspiration!

Hi Sue, another bunch of beautiful cards you've posted. i've just read the comments you posted about crafters posting comments and leaving the blog. Unfortunately I work full time and do not get the time I would like to have to blog hop as often or leave comments but I regularly look at your postings and always follow you on create and craft. You very kindly gave me some advice on getting hold of some crafting item a couple of years ago now and you took the time to email me and respond and help me, which I was very grateful to you. I am sure everyone will continue to follow you as long as you carry on making such wonderful creations. x
Amazing card as always Sue, looking forward to seeing more of your daily inspiration
Lots of love from a new follower... Vicky xx
