Hello there crafters! Another fun use of the
New York background. Poor thing keeps getting cut up in every direction, but it is just so versatile! I started by embossing my coconut white card using the
Bed Of Roses Embossing Folder (yes, I know I use it a lot, don't I!) I cut the
New York background, also in
coconut white card and nipped it in half. I put the two halves together and cut out a bit more of it so I could make it a bit more square (it isn't perfectly square, just closer to a square than a rectangle now). I taped the pieces together from the back, then glued them to a piece of
periwinkle card. Next I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the
New York tag. I cut two of the
New York corners in white and another tag in
periwinkle blue card. I nipped the tag in half to make it sorter and and arranged it and the corners in a pleasing fashion around the sentiment to add more detail. Finally I finished the card with some
white flatback pearls in the corners and middle. In my usual manner, I finished the card with a white pierced paper mat, a thin periwinkle card mat and a final white mat. The finished dimensions are
7 1/4" x 7 1/2" in size.
Well, finally up and out of bed after nearly a week and almost human again. I want the number of the bus that hit me though! LOL Still tired and very faint headed but slowly getting back up to scratch. The up side though is that I have lost all the cruise weight now but definitely not the preferred dietary method though! LOL Thank you for all your well wishes. I will get the blog candy drawing done and posed on Monday for you.
The winner of this week's Wednesday Card giveaway is:
Evis M!!!
Congratulations! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card. All for now, Sue x

Pretty card, Sue, like the 'altered' NY background and lovely colours.

GM Sue. Lovely card. Tree chic! Glad to hear you are on the mend. It must have been quite a thing to lay you flat for a week if you don't mind me saying that! You are always on the gogo. Take it easy recovering. AP in a couple of weeks so hope you will back on song by then. I am going on Saturday with hubby! Its his birthday that day but he has agreed to go with me nonetheless.

Happy weekend all

Morning Sue
So pleased to hear you're on the right road now. This Flu/virus is really one that flattens this year and certainly is not one which goes away quickly. You may be up out of bed but please take it as easy as you can and let your body heal.
Today's gift is in my favourite colours again and so is a winner in every sense for me. Your dies certainly do what you wanted them to do and we as crafters really appreciate your thoughtfulness when creating them.
Well the result of a manic Friday is that we can go away on Monday but Mr E has to visit a Dr when we get there so it's 'on with the packing'!!!
To all under the weather and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe.
Janet x
Beautiful card, love the way you cut up background dies to alter things.
Glad you are starting to feel better, don't overdo things though.

Gorgeous card Sue, glad you are feeling better, I think you had something like I had a few weeks ago, this is the first week in ages that I have felt almost 'normal' hugs Carole Z X
Hi Sue this is a stunning card today and I only flinched a little bit when you said to cut the background in half! Lol. I'm pleased to hear you are on the mend but you must take it easy still to get back to full strength. Don't run before you can walk! I sure your other half is making sure you behave yourself and making sure you drink plenty - just the orange juice though not the gin!
Take care of yourself

Hi Sue
So pleased to hear you are feeling a little better but don't over do things take it easy and relax.This Virus/bug that is going around has done it's tour on the whole of the UK. Many of my family around the UK have had it and it drains you so much.What a beautiful card Sue i don't know how you manage to come up with so many different ideas/ techniques for your cards. I sometimes sit and stare at my craft as i just cant think of a design.Making male cards for me are the worst to think up a design
You take care Sue and relax it will take time for you to regain your full strength and get back to normal

Hi Sue,
So glad to hear you are feeling slightly more human again - still take it easy though as you don't want a backward step just now. Love today's card that background die is, as you say, so useful. Have you got any cards you could share with the Caribbean background?
Continue to take care.

Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes,
Very dreary day today brightened up by your glorious 'Wedgwood' card.
Congratulations to Evie for winning the Wednesday giveaway. Enjoy it my dear.
Welcome to the one and only Wilsonette club Lorraine, you are sure to enjoy 'chatting' to like minded crafters.
Glad to read you almost back to normal Sue, but remember to take things steady, these nasty little bugs sure do have a habit of knocking us off our feet.
Muriel, sorry to read you still housebound and I hope it won't be long till you are back on your feet to enjoy Spring, when it finally arrives. ((((hugs)))) to you my dear.
Hugs to everybody else who wants one, just because.

Hello Sue,
So pleased to hear you're feeling a little better, after such a collision you better take it steady - a day at a time. Keep a watch out these buses have a habit of creeping up on you again. DON'T be pushing yourself too hard. LOL
Today's card is a winner, I love periwinkle and white they are a match made in heaven. You're making me look at my dies again - cutting this background in half is such an inspiring idea. Note to self, check out your background dies.
Sue you are such an inspiration, not only do you bring us your beautiful dies, you inspire us with different ways to use them. Thank you thank you thank you. Now that's what I call value for money.
Congratulations Elvi M on winning the Wednesday giveaway card. You really have got a treasure.

I'm glad you are feeling a bit better, but please take it easy otherwise the bus could reverse and knock you for six again. Believe me, I know.
You card today is lovely, and the New York dies are fabulous. So good to work with and very versatile, as you have proved here.
Evis, congratulations.

Hi Sue,
Lovely card, periwinkle is such a beautiful colour and always looks so clean and fresh. This New York background is proving to be so versatile. I love how you have been showing us all the ways to snip into it.
So glad you are starting to feel somewhat better, but if you are still feeling tired and light headed you still need to rest and look after yourself.
Congratulations Evis on winning the beautiful card.
Love and hugs for all

Hi Sue. I am so glad you are starting to feel better but please continue to take it easy as this particular bug/flu/ virus tends to stay with you for quite some time before you can shake it off !! This one is very persistent !! It took me two whole weeks to start to feel anywhere near half human again !!
Todays card is beautiful !! The Periwinkle and coconut White is a favourite colour combo of mine. I just love it. Your Roses EF looks fab Sue and your New York Background die is lovely !! I think this die would look fantastic used with your "inlaid technique" to, as the pattern consists of lots of nice big pieces to put back into the die. You have created some lovely patterns with it by cutting into it in different ways. I love the New York border, corner, tag dies to. (One of my most favourite die sets !!) Thank you for sharing today's beautiful creation with us all. Sending you lots of love and get well soon wishes. Please take care love from Tres x x x
Congratulations to Evie for winning Sue's gorgeous Wednesday card giveaway !! Lots of love from Tres x x x
Sheila and Nikki, Thinking of you both and sending lots of love from Tres x x x
