Beautiful Day

Hi bloggers!  I have a real romantic looking sort of card for today's offering.  In it's very soft blush and white tones and filigree dies, it just has that sort of feel to me.  I started by cutting the Pavo Gemini  die three times out of coconut white card and using just the bottom cutting edge with it.  I stacked them on top of each other for a petticoat effect.  For the focal element, I used the Portuguese Sintra die in the back, cut out of white card.  I stamped my sentiment and used the inside die in the same set to cut it out.  I inked it lightly with Tattered Rose distress ink before removing it from the die.  I mounted it with foam in the centre.  I created two flowers using the Complete Peony die set and some decorative paper from my stash.  It had a soft streaky line pattern to it and I thought it would look lovely in the flower die cuts.  I used the Dandelion Clocks for the very centre of the flowers and inked them in a Scattered Straw ink.  I seated one of the flowers on a double bow tied from Sideshow Rose Stain ribbon.  I placed the other flower diagonal on my focal element.  The card was completed with a white pierced mat, a thin blush mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue and Lovely Wilsonettes

Sue this card is absolutely stunning...it has quite simply bowled me over there's no two ways about it I need to make a card for someone and as I couldn't decide which of Sue's beautiful cutting dies to us I opened up to this little gem and knew in my heart of hearts that this is the one that will knock the socks off the recipient...in other words she will be bowled over as equally as I was...thank you Sue from my heart for the wonderful daily inspiration that you gift to us every day.

I wonder how you get your paper flowers to stay as they do...they really stand to a fantastic formation like they are made from cardstock...Wow all the way through on this card Sue x x x

To Sue and all Wilsonettes I send (((((HUGS))))) and smiles by the bucketload...lol
Love Beth B x x x
