Best Wishes

 Hi bloggers!  A really sweet card for today's offering.  I started with a piece of blush card and used the Eternity embossing folder to give it some texture.  I cut a smaller piece for the lower half of the card and used my score board to give it a thin line detail.  I taped the two pieces to slightly larger piece of blush card and cut a very thin black strip as a divider.  For my focal element, I used the Ornate Pierced Rectangles and the Classic Adorned Rectangles to cut a white piece and a thin black mat as the backdrop.  I cut the Rhodes die in black and backed it with white, using both the inner and outer cutting edges to make a frame.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Pierced Flag die set and mounted it across the frame.  I tied a messy bow out of flesh seam binding, added a black jute bow and topped them with a crystal sparkler.  I added three small black Dazzlers to the upper corner as embellishments.  I pierced a white mat layer then added thin blush and black mats before adding a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  7 3/4" in size.

The winner of this week's Wednesday Card giveaway is:

Susan Battensby!!!

Congratulations!  Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card.  All for now, Sue x

  9. Hi Sue, happy Saturday. Oh my, how pretty is this blush foundation card ( I am so sorry about the mixed up message you have no idea how bad I feel) !! Long live Foundation card lol xx

    Blush and black, one of the prettiest colour combo's, that dash of black show's just how delicate that shade of pink is. Such an understated but beautiful card that would bring happiness into anyone's home.

    Well done Susan on winning your Sue card, enjoy xx

  16. Thank you for yet another masterpiece Sue, after yesterdays stunningly beautiful card (my absolute favourite I might add)I didn't think you could top that one...but what am I saying of course you can...every card you make is a winner in my book...even more so when your creations are inspiring so many of us Wilsonette fans. I have the embossing folder but hadn't any ideas on how to use...now I have...thank you.

    Well it is my Steves birthday today and he'll be awake soon...so hope he likes his card I made for him...Using Eggshell & Periwinkle colour ways...sorry folks have nowhere to upload/post it to... to see what you think...never mind at least we all have our brilliant Sues super daily dose of sunshine to look forward to.

    Alison...hope you enjoyed a lovely meal last night and will enjoy your birthday weekend with your family and remembrance to your dear Aunty. Take care & hugs and smiles to you x x x

  23. Good morning Sue & friends,
    What a gorgeous girlie card, using my favourite embossing folder ! Now Sue you have shown such genius inspiration here, I was surprised to see how 'pink' the blush card looked, but not "in your face" pink, just enough to be a pretty girlie colour and teaming it with black just works incredibly well, it somehow looks "fresh" !
    Thanks Sue, you are truly amazing!
    My new configurations dies came yesterday, along with the "swirling hearts" embossing folder, I can't wait to play!
    Advice please!!! .....I have the "Score lines embossing folder, when I first used it seemed fine but now every piece of card I emboss with that folder seems to "buckle" so I can't get them to lay flat on my finished card, any help would be gratefully received! Thanks in advance xx
    Congratulations to Susan, you will love the card when you receive it!
    Crafty hugs to each and everyone of you!
    Have a fabulous Bank holiday weekend,
    Sandra xxxxx

    Morning Sue
    What a striking gift you have given us today. Plain and simple but so effective and take away the ribbon and you have a gift for the males in our lives who are so awkward to cater for. Then dress it up again and oh so many occasions can be celebrated.

    Very dull here at the moment and I have everything crossed that I can cross as it's my Great Grand-daughter's 4th bday party this afternoon bouncy castle and all. It's going to be a non stop day for me!!!

    Congratulations to this week's give away winner.
    I hope that all plans for a good BH week-end work out and that you enjoy every minute.
    To all in pain and suffering today I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

  63. Hi Sue,
    Beautiful! I love the black with the blush as others have said, it looks fresh.
    Sandra regarding the scoreline embossing folder, I too had that problem, then I heard Sue mention you needed the creative expressions white plate for her 8x8 e folders.
    So I purchased one and Yes that solved the problem. Hope this is of use to you.
