Hi bloggers! I am probably taking a bit of a chance on this one, I expect the response might be rather mixed as it is quite wild, but I really like it! I started with peach card and stamped the
Iron Swirls Background by Justrite on it in black. I used the
Majestic Circles to cut an aperture in the centre. I added height to the background by adding mounting foam to the back. Then I recessed the stamped cut out piece back into the aperture. I cut one more
Majestic Circles out of white card and used a smaller die on the inside to create a frame. I glued that in to the recessed aperture. I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with
Fancy Framed Tags Two. I highlighted it with
Tattered Rose ink while still in the die. I also cut a white shadow mat for it. I offset the shadow and used mounting foam to add height and added it across my aperture. I made a
Faux Quilled Bloom and seated a top a
white seam binding messy bow. I made two fancy stick pins to match. I finished the card with a white pierced mat layer, then added thin peach and black mats for balance and a final white mat to complete the card. Finished dimensions are 6" x 7 1/4" in size. If you are adventurous and would like to be entered in the drawing to win this card, just leave me a comment. I will post the winners name on Saturday's blog post. All for now, Sue x

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 234 of 234Afternoon Sue...love this card, it reminds me of Halloween.
Hi Pam
Really pleased it went well for today, how good it can come off at night. Now you can have a good scratch ( if you want that is ) Good night God bless.
No need to worry, the card is lovely. I really love the symmetry of the stamp and colours used are perfect.

Very pretty color and stamped background. Would not have thought of this color combo and it works beautifully together with this pattern.
I do like this card and envy your ability to match the pattern. A clear stamp would make it a doddle but I find it much harder with a rubber one unless I use a stamp positioner. I wouldn't have thought of that colour combo, but it works well.

A beautiful card Sue, I love the colour combination x
Pam great news you must be so pleased your cast is off.
Please take care no running now love Lynda xx
i don't think it's wild at all. that stamp is ace. i thought it was teresa collins paper or some other from your stash. and your hat pins are rather nice today too xx
Hi Sue
I really think your colour combination is great and am going to try this when I do my next batch of cards. We probably all use our favourite colour of card to make the majority of our masterpieces so it is good to try out different colours for a change.
How great it would be to be the lucky recipient of your gorgeous card!!!

Another beautiful card...and I don't think it is wild. It's so pretty!
Hi Sue,
Beautiful card, you need to read how you managed to achieve the beautiful result to really apriciate it (or see it in real life) Thank you for sharing it with us.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Pam so pleased you have your pink plaster removed. LOL
Love and prayers to everyone
Beautiful card! Love the embellishments!
My sister Clare has mentioned you for months and today I found you - not hard at all to do once I looked on YouTube, Pinterest and all the other sites featuring your fantastic work - it was me not you!
So now you have another admirer and I also can relate to what my sister is talking about in our weekly UK - Aussie conversations.
This card is lovely - although not colours I would necessarily have chosen for first pick, however you have inspired me to take another look at the possibility. I love the embellishment on top of the bow - so elegant.
I'll definitely be looking in again!
Sue, I love this card...definitely not wild for my taste...reminds me of a beautiful scrollwork gate. I would be thrilled to win it.

Love the way you stamped the background and then cut out the aperture. Just another new technique to try. Love the stickpins. Thanks for sharing this beautiful card and a chance to win it.
