Hi bloggers! I am releasing my inner grunge on this one just a little bit! Every once in awhile, you just need to, don't you! I reached for the
Teresa Collins paper pad for this one. I selected a variety of the papers as they all work lovely together. I used my scissors on the edges to distress them, giving them small tears in spots and rolling the corners too. Using the
large polka dot mask, I inked through it on to the background music papers using a
walnut stain distress pad (and a light hand). I added a strip of a coordinating paper to add some variety to the background. I cut a rust dotted paper into a smaller area and inked the edges with
Walnut Stain. I stamped the corner with a swirl stamp and dusted it with bronze mica powder. Next I cut the
Pierced Tag die out of
kraft card. I stamped my sentiment so it looks straight when he tag is mounted on an angle. I added a variety of ribbons and twine to the hole in the tag as accents. I cut the
Trailing Ivy out of the music background and glued it to the bottom of the card. I made a flower out of the decorative papers cut from the
Complete petal Camellia die set and seated it in the corner with the ivy. Finally I finished the card with
Ivory PVA glue dots all the way around the edge. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Another stunning card ! You just keep them coming Sue.
Steep, hope all is going well in the hospital, and that you are able to craft.
Hugs all round, you are all in my daily thoughts x
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, well it is certainly different today, am undecided whether it is something I would do though.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue another beautiful card.
Yvonne xx
Good morning Sue
Wow! This is a blast from the past, I love it. Now why didn't I think of stamping that way? instead of everyone having to tilt their heads to read the tag lol. This is such a fabulous card and has got me wanting to do some 'grunging' today.
Hugs x
Heather T
Different and love it. Your inner grunge does it for me Sue now how about some steam punk, he he. Hugs xx
Morning Sue. WOW this one is different, very nice, thank you, take care Kitty.
Hi Sue. Great card, I love how you have gone grungy but with the soft touch of the flower. It's always good to see any style of card from you : )
I hope you are really starting to relax now Sue, I relax as soon as we walk out of our front door to go on holiday but it can take a couple of days to unwind for some people. Enjoy yourself : )
Pam, you are in my thoughts.
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care.
Well this is so not what I was expecting! Love the grungy look so I really like this card xx
Hey, Sue, this is great and the TC papers so good for this look. Not a fan of distressed edges on non-grunge cards, but love this look when in a total scheme. Do like the masked dots in the background and agree with Heather T about the stamped sentiment - nice touch. This card is a saver! Will be trying (my version) out on the next man card.
'P' in Wales
It certainly is different from the usual offerings, but I like it. The papers work together beautifully as does the entire card. xx
Morning Sue, a fabulous card I try do the likes of these
For the young males in my life so this will definitely
one to try to replicate. We'll of the craft show in Glasgow
This morning hope someone has some of your dies as
There is still some I,m looking for.
Nancy's xx
Morning Sue. WOW i love your take on the grunge look. It would make a great male card if you want to change a few things or just go a bit heavier with the inks, but never the less it's fab. Love the teresa collins paper pad. Hope you are having a great time and having some fun times.
Best Wishes.
Denise T x
Hi Sue. I hope that you are enjoying your break. Definitely a different card today; how do you get your distressed edges to look classy? If I try, it looks like they've been attacked by a wild animal! Sue xxx
Morning Sue, you should let the inner grunge out more often, great card.
Hi Sue, well this is just perfect, love all the elements, certainly different, but definitely something to try. Would make a great male card. Hope you are enjoying your holiday. Bx
This is so different for you, Sue, and I love it. Right up my street.
Anne (Northampton)
Good morning all. Very different card today Sue, but very nice. JJxx
Morning Sue
This is very different, it certainly gets my creative juices going

Hi Sue
This style of card is just my cup of tea!! I LOVE grunge/shabby chic cards, and this one is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
Have a good day everyone.
Hugs.
GM Sue. Love this. Its a must try! For Fathers Day I am thinking.
Very different and without the flower great for those difficult men(or with depending on tastes).
Beautiful card love it xx hazel
Good morning Sue what beautiful card I love thes and the papers and the design is wonderful.
Debs A
Hi Sue,
what an elegant grunge card, it's lovely. I'm not good at those, but love looking at them.
Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue, I love it !! I love this kind of 'vintage' crafting, I love everything you have done here.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Great card, very different to your normal offerings but thats a good thing.
Michele
I love this style of card, and this one is great!
Carolyn B
like this one ,
Good morning Sue this is a wonderful card very it is very different in a good way. I think I will be having a go at something like this it would make a fantastic male card. Have a great day. Hugs Jackie
Morning Sue, you should release your inert grunge more often, great card. Not sure mine would looke so good.
Love Rosemarie xx
Ooh, more inner grunge please Sue!! Love it. Hugs from Ireland. Evelyn x
Hi Sue,
Certainly different!...but as the saying goes " a change is as good as a rest"...love how the ivy looks cut out of patterned paper and good thinking to stamp the text at an angle so it reads straight when the tag is mounted...
Izzy
Morning Sue. Love the grunge look. I really like the style of this card and love the flower. Thank you for sharing and giving more inspiration. Hugs Heather x
Sue, you must release your inner grunge more!!
Fab card , love everything about it,
XxxRuth
Good morning Sue. A very different look for today's design but very effective. Lots of dimension and details and I can see that with a little alteration it would make a great card for a man. I really MUST get those Camellia flower dies!x
Morning sue, lovely unusual card today using lovely papers I will have to try the distressed look on some of my creations . Take care yvonnebxx
Well, just how different can you get Sue? I am amazed by it. This is a belter, hits all the right notes for hard to please teenagers, who let's face can be a bit grungy themselves if my step-grandchildren are anything to go by.
Rather gloomy start to the day here in Somerset, lets hope it clears soon.
Finally managed to get into the garden yesterday for a good couple of hours pruning and tidying up.
Hugs to all
Cheryl xxx
Morning Sue, Gosh this is different. I am not sure about it but will say it would make a great card for a man. so I may come round to it
Wendyyx
Good morning Sue, know exactly what you mean about releasing the "grunge feeling"
I do that very occasionally, have to say you have done it in a STUNNING way, love it all.
Yes, I love everything you have done on today's card. Off back to have another look. Might have a go at similar, thank you for the inspiration.
Have a wonderful day where ever you are and what ever you do.
Hugs
Patricia xxx
Hi Sue This is amazing and so different but still with a touch of Sue. I've not tried grunge before but I do like the flower and ivy cut from the papers and the tag die - in fact all of it. Hope you are having a lovely holiday. Take care love Diane G xxx
Pat hope you are feeling more comfortable today xxx
Steph hope your infusion is going well xxx
Hello Sue
I had forgotten I have these papers, put them somewhere safe, lol!
I hope you are having a relaxing holiday!
Take care

Hello Sue
So different from your usual cards but just as pretty. This would make a good card for a man.

GM Sue, Having been away for 3 months, I couldn't wait to see what you had been up to with your carding in that time. I love today's vintage look and it's got me wanting to get back to crafting but before that I have lots of your videos to watch so no housework for me today. Love Pauline A
Hi sue
WOW lovin your inner grunger this is right up my street you never fail to stun me with your ideas, sorry i havent been on your blog for a few days we have had sad news our son and his girlfriend as miscarried a baby .. Hugs to all who need one Saarah xxxx
Morning Sue,
Not my type of card today, not a lover of grunge or vintage but I can admire the work you have put into it.
Hope you are having a relaxing holiday.

Oh what have you done to me this morning Sue! I need more than a couple of coffees this morning to put me right.lol. As you probably know I'm not a fan of shabby so grunge just doesn't sit well with me at all. I'm all for coming out of my box on occasion but you have stumped me today. Having said all that I can see that some teenagers would just absolutely love today's gift.
Sorry Sue it's not often one of your works of art doesn't suit so I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
I finished the bday card for France so into the post it goes today hoping it gets there in time for the 15th. Just need to get the rest of March out of the way now.
Lynne - so pleased Cully was OK. I can never understand why people let their dogs off leads when they know what will happen when they see other doggies.
Pam - sending hugs and comforting thoughts for this week-end.
Steph - hope you had a good night and not a disturbed one by others in the ward.
Well as it's Friday which means housework this morning and hopefully some crafting this afternoon. We have a quiet morning here after the horrible rain and wind this week so fingers crossed it will stay like this for the week-end.
To all in pain or suffering I hope your day get better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Hi Sue. I love your grunge card today, so different for you but lovely to see. Great combo of colours and your flower tops it off beautifully. Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx
This one is so different - very nice!
What a fantastic change I wish my inner grunge was as good as half of yours! Mine just looks messy I bought the pierced tags as soon as they were released Not used them yet and this has inspired me to have a "grungy" go
such a different style today sue!
Morning Sue
Wow just love this grungy card one I will try as I have the papers
Hope you are having a good time with Mum
Hugs
Carol x
Good morning Sue and everyone
This is a bit left field for me as Im not a grunge gal (and don't have any inner grunge that's lurking either, that Im aware of lol!) but I can appreciate the thought and work that has gone into it.
Hope your enjoying Norway.
Ang x
Certainly different look today Sue, but not sure about this one
Hi Sue a very different card love the look
Denise X
Sorry Sue, I am just not a grungy person. But with different pastel colours I could see myself making this card. Hope you are enjoying your well deserved holiday.
Hi Sue - not my type of card today but thanks for all the hard work you put in showing us all the different styles!
Janette x
Good morning Sue,
Sorry, this is not for me today, too messy and disorganised for my brain. But it wouldn't do if we all liked the same in this world though. I hope you are having a wonderful time flower with absolutely no distractions other than beautiful scenery and the beautiful wonder if you manage to see it's magnificence.
I'm doing this before i run out of steam this morning folks. Sorry i am not around at the moment but CFS playing up something rotten but blood pressure being rock bottom along with chronic anemia is just adding to problems. Sorry, sending hugs to all my friends in hospital or not well the now, to Sheila and Nikki who are constantly in my thoughts at the moment, and all our friends that can't come on because of the dark places they are in.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Your inner Grunge looks Fab Sue, a lovely man card im thinking.

Wow that was a shock this morning, I was not expecting that, but I love it! This would be great for men. I love that paper pad, I wonder if it is still available. Gorgeous card, you are so talented. x
Hi Sue,
Well it's definitely different!!
My OCD for neatness would stop me making it, but I think that's why I like to see cards like this!
:-)
Lorna D
Hi Sue certainly different ,but sorry
not for me but appreciate you taking the time to do it.

Morning Sue, well that is different to your usual style of card Sue, It is always nice to try something different and steo outside your comfort zone. Love Jean xxxx
That is different for you SueNot sure if grunge is me though!!
Doreen x
Hi Sue,
I don't really understand what Grunge is, but if this is Grunge, I like it. Just when I thought I didnt need my patterned papers anymore you've shown me I still do. Really clever stamping on the slant on the tag, I must be simple because it would never have occurred to me. Thank you.
Fame01 (Sarah) gentle hugs for you, your son and his partner.
Steph thinking of you,
Love and hugs to all in need.
Saba
Hi Sue - what a different way to use dies, would never have thought of that one and what a great man's card it would make. I have all these papers and dies so will be using them today! Best wishes
YvonneMayxx
A funky card ! Love it Sue really trendy Crafty Regards Julie Kay xxx
My what a change, this took me completely by surprise! Never have the same sort of success with this sort of card. Mine never look quite right!!
Good morning Sue, definitely something different to keep us from getting in a rut. Not really something I would do myself but very effective all the same, love from Jackie xx

Sorry to say not keen on this style of card. I much prefer neater, cleaner types. However, nice to see something different and most people on this blog seem to love it.

Morning Sue,
I have to say I'm not a grunge type of girl, so this card is not for me, sorry.

Morning Sue, love this grunge card, stunning, I even have the Theresa Collins papers, I'm going to give this one a go, great for teenagers and men.
I received my Wednesday giveaway card prize yesterday
WOW, it is stunning viewing it on tv does not do it justice, it will have pride pf place in my craft room, thank you again.
Take care everyone, Jess x
this is certainly different then the cards you normally make. I like the card however but could never have thought that it was made by Sue Wilson.......... LOL
More grunge please! I like this for a change as your cards are normally so "clean".
Hi Sue.
The card is interesting but is not really for me. I am not a fan of 'grunge'. However I appreciate all the work that has gone into making it.
Take care,
Evis M.
Morning Sue, Thank-you yesterday I received my comment prize, stamps set Step by Step! These will come in useful as I have a teenage Granddaughter who loves dance so I've got till July to come up with something special for her Birthday cards! Today's card sorry not my style this one but I do like the Ivy and flowers cut from patterned papers, I will keep that in mind for future projects. Thank-you,
Love, Junex (Cumbria)

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, thought I had clicked onto Tim Holtz page for a moment, this is very different for you but I love it. I make altered bottles and boxes and love the grunge, steam punk style so this is right up my street.

Jean D xxxx
Love a bit of grunge, this is different today, love it
Hi Sue,
When I first looked at this card I was just not sure, I'm not a grudge fan, but the more I look at it - it's growing on me. Love the flowers and the Ivy cut from patterned paper, also the label set at a jaunty angle makes this card very interesting. I think, albeit slowly this one is growing on me. Thank you for making me look outside my comfort zone.
Hope you're enjoying all that wonderful scenery and are managing to relax.
Take care, love Brenda XXX
Hi Sue,
to be honest I´m making the most of my cards in this beautiful grunge style. I use a lot of your dies for cutting out newspapers for example. So I like your work today very much.
Rolf x
Hi Sue, a lovely card for those who like grunge. It certainly is different but not something I would try.
Hi Sue, the focal sentiment is what I adked CE to be made, but not in a grungy way. I have mixed feelings about this card, and decided I wouldn't want to sent it or receive it. Just not my cup of tea. X Ros
Hi Sue, I don't mind this for a change. Keep challenging our ideas and your imagination.
Jan Shore
Morning Sue. Just love this card.Rather a change from you. Quite Shabby Chic.
Have a good day. Big hug Jan. xx
Fantastic, Sue! Love this look.
Just shows how versatile your dies are

Hello Sue and all
Wow this is a bit different but really nice. I've never had a go at distressing perhaps I ought to have a try (OCD permitting). Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sue
Nice to see a card which doesn't need lots fo dies. Must look out for some different papers.

Not your usual style Sue, but think it's lovely.

Hi Sue,
mmm not sure if this is something I would want to make but it is a great way to use up lots of paper scraps.
I'm with you Heather T about stamping on tags- why didn't we do it that way??

Take care all.

HI SUE
LOVE IT WHEN YOU DO THIS. THROW SOMETHING AT US THAT IS NOT AS CONTROLLED AS YOU NORMALLY ARE (DO LIKE THOSE CARDS TOO). LIKE HOW YOU HAVE ADDED INTEREST BY STAMPING CORNERS. NEVER NOTICED THE MASK. ALWAYS MORE THE LONGER YOU LOOK. FAB.
HOPE YOUR MUM IS OK?!? AND ENJOYING YOUR HOLIDAY.

This is lovely
Lovely card sue ... Happy crafting..x
This is lovely
Hi sue
Smashing card. This is right up my street!!
I love the grungy look. I'm still trying to get the complete petal camellia. Thought I'd get one for my birthday yesterday. Was disappointed as no one could get it anywhere. Got a few more of ur other dies tho so all is good but I'd set my heart on the camellias oh well I'll just get it myself when it comes back into stock :-) xx
Love the vintage look of this card Sue, certainly different, have a great holiday Edwina
Hi Sue, this one is definitely different to the ones you do, but still lovely.....xx
Lovely Card Sue!
Definitely different from what we usually expect to see from you, but it's still fab!
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Love this card,so different from your usual style. Love the colpur tones x
This card is totally outside the box from the style that I'm use is seeing in your cards..
I think it turned out really nice.
It looks rustic or shabby but very nice
Well done Sue
Usually not keen on grunge, but this one I like!
Sue it is great to see this different side to your style. Caz x
WOW Absolutely beautiful and so different from your other cards.
I really love this one.
Hi Sue, I love it when you do something out of the ordinary but as you might have guessed, I don't do grunge. It is a great card though and I love the ivy cut from patterned paper - that is something I will take from this.
Frances
Hi Sue,
It was a surprise to see your card today.....it's lovely, but not something I would have done myself.
It gave me ideas that you can use different papers to cut your dies on. I do have trailing ivy die, I use usually white or green, never thought about using music note paper/card. You have given me an idea as I have many requests to do cards with music notes. Happy crafting to everyone.
Dorothy xx
Wow, such a different card today, very different, but lovely just the same.
Craftihappiness to all and lots of love from Macky.
Hi Sue
I love grungy, I spent my teens and twenties being pretty grungy and there's still a good deal of it left in my late 30's. Grungy, shabby all tick boxes for me as well as a nice tag! Plus a paper with a music score. It's made my day ;-)
Rolf, I love your idea of die cutting newspaper, I've always loved seeing papers in other languages used in mixed media so the idea is very appealing to me, hugs x
Norah, fatigue been a big problem for me too this last week, hugs of solidarity x
Steph, know you're not up to crafting but hope you're comfortable as can be, gentle hugs and wishes for a speedy recovery x
Sheila and Nikki, thoughts of sympathy and hugs x
Have Drs appointment for Tuesday morning, was very lucky to get it as due to a lack of Drs they have all but stopped pre book appointments as too many people didn't show up. No concessions for disabled people/ exceptional circumstances which is going to be difficult especially as they won't do home visits in my situation (travelling in the car is painful and I suffer for a few days after). So angry at those people who have made life more difficult for those of us who do turn up! Sorry for rant, sore and tired so a bit cranky! Going for meds and try a little gentle crafting.
Hugs to you all, extra hugs if they're needed. Have a happy Friday and a great weekend

Hi Sue & friends,
Well a totally different look for you today Sue, still fabulous, a good guy card I think or someone that doesn't like frilly lacy, flowery cards, thanks Sue for giving us something different to think about. Hugs Sandra xx

Hi Sue and everyone!
Well this is a surprise and I quite like it. Bought some 12x12 papers the other day and with some very dark,patterned sheets that would be perfect for this kind of card. like the ivy and the flower.
Hope you are having a wonderful time cruising the fjords !
Norah, Steph and Pat gentle hugs to you and to all who have pain, are in hospital or just feeling low I wish you better !
Warm Hugs to all wilsonette's and to my friends keep well, Maria x

Love it! This is right up my street :)
Great card .I really love it.
Greetings

I like your grunge card it works for me
Ooooh not sure on this one. I think it's because I'm more girly than grunge. I have had the Teresa Collins pad for ages but love the papers that much I haven't touch it yet lol
Lots of love
Jo xx
Love it!!
My goodness, this was a bit of a surprise but a pleasant one. Sometimes we just have to breakout and do something a little different.
Hello Sue
Your card today is so different to your usual style but I like it very much. I love the antique style of cards as well as the pretty, precise and flowey ones. This type of card is so useful for a man, too!
Thank you to all the kind Wilsonettes who left comments re my problems on the Bloglovin site. I am so relieved to find it was not only me having trouble!! I was beginning to think I was having a senior moment. My main concern was that I was not being counted for Sue's Blog.
Best Wishes to eveyone.
Lesley S
Hi Sue, love the card. I sometimes make steampunk cards and like to tear and distress paper for a shabby chic look. It's nice for a change isn't it.xx
Wow!! This is a different card from you, Sue.
I need to start getting creative and trying out my papers. Thanks for the inspiration :- )
Have a good weekend everyone.
Hugs, Angela in S. Wales Xx
Hi Sue
love the inner grunge in you! x
Oh I love this - certainly very different for you Sue - but it's great.
Love the grunge look of this card, great for the men in our lives.
Hi sue, this is beautiful, what can i say, you've give us something els to think about crafty hugs Julie xxx
Very different...good to do sometimes
oh i love this grungy look. it is brill. keep them coming, hugs xx
Hi All, bit late today, not been feeling too good again today. This card is amazing, lov e those papers.
Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall
Stunning detail, just love it.
Hi Sue. Well this is certainly a very different card for you today !! I really do like it !! I love you the way you have stamped the sentiment on the tag at an angle so that it is straight when on the card. Why have I never thought to do that before !! I love the colours and pattterned papers you have used to. They look great together. I love using my Distress Inks so I could see me doing this kind of card. I think I would enjoy trying something new for a change. Like other crafters have said, I to think it would look great for a man's card. I really love the Camellia flower and I think the newspaper Ivy dies look really fab !! I never really think to cut dies from patterned papers. I just have to try this now !! Your tags dies are on my huge wish list. Such a "must have" die set.
I hope you are having a good holiday. Sending you lots of love Sue from Tres x x x
Pam, Thinking of you and sending you lots of love and best wishes this weekend. Take care of your self love Tres x x x

Great job getting your grunge on Sue but it just isn't my style. However, I do think the card looks amazing.
Grunge isn't my style but I love the ivy and flower you've made using the background papers.
Pam, thinking of you this weekend.
Take care everyone.
Certainly a different style from you today. i would love to be able to do this but hate to "HURT"the paper.

Hi Sue
I am desperately trying to catch up. I'm sorry I am not managing every day now but as you know I have little free time at the moment.
I have to say I just loved this card, right up my street and a lovely change from all the die cards.
'Just the ticket' you might say!! Simply beautiful.
I do hope you have managed to switch off and truly enjoy a holiday. Looking forward to the pictures
Crafty Hugs to a dear and loyal friend

Such an interesting card. Such a good diversity. Thank you again for a great card.
Oh dear...another die I need!!!!
Love this card as I must confess I'm a bit of a grunge gal at heart! love that you show us such diverse techniques xx GaikT xx
This card was a surprise. I am new to your blog and designs. This was the first of it's kind that I have seen you do. I like the mixed media. I must try your techniques in destressing the edges of the layers.
Just love this card . I am not usually a messy crafter but it so works here. Gonna give it a try.
Hi,
Lovely card, love the colour, you are a master of many techniques.

Hi Sue I am a great admirer of your handmade cards. They are always so lovely and classy. I would love to win a card in your Wednesday giveaway. I always check each day to see what type of card you have managed to make.
Hi Sue
Another wonderful card & definitely one for the guys with the colour combo & papers..
Haven't ventured into the 'Grunge' world but must say I really must have a go as always good to try something new...
