Hi bloggers! These weeks seem to be flying by, don't they! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was offering the last giveaway card! It's Wednesday once again and time for a new card giveaway and today's offering is a simple yet elegant card made using the
Canadian Background. I selected
milk card and
peach card for this one. I started by cutting the
Canadian background out of
milk card. Next, I cut the background into strips, following the lines of the design. I backed three of the strips with another piece of milk card and added mounting foam to the back of them to raise them for dimension. I cut another
Canadian background, again out of milk card, but this time, I backed the entire background with peach card. I attached it to a larger piece of milk card and then added my three strips down every other row, leaving a row of the background showing through in between. I added
cream flatback pearls to the raised strips as embellishments. I made a flower from milk card, using the Perfect Peony Complete petal die set and inked the edges with
Tattered Rose before assembling. Once assembled, I "sugared" the flower with
Iced Snow and allowed it to dry before adding it to my card. I seated it on some
cream tulle and added some
Maidenhair fern as accents. I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the
Pierced Flags die set. I made two matching
stick pins and added them in behind the flower. I finished the card with a milk mat which I paper pierced, then a thin peach mat and a final milk mat. The finished dimensions are 5 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. If you would like to be included in the drawing for this one, just leave me a comment. I will post the winners name on Saturday's blog post. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, yes another Wednesday, as you say the time seems to be flying past, a beautiful card today, I have ordered the Canadian Background die as I didn't have this one - why? I ask myself, but got no reply, so once it comes through I can have a play.
Enjoy Wednesday whatever you are doing, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue
A beautiful card, your Canadian dies are simply lovely.

Kath x
Hi Sue & Lovely Wilsonettes...Wow Sue, I think I’m knocked off the edge of my seat more often than I am sat on it when it comes to viewing your daily card for the first time, especially when it comes to using my favourite colour; this fabulous card is a prime example of your very impressive & spectacular talents. There is certainly nothing simple about this card Sue because for me it oozes style & elegance, I, blessed be me, have all the items you have used today right down to the Tattered Rose ink, what a result, in fact I recently put the names of the dies & CE items I am short of owning into a hat & the Canadian background, Classic fold over flower die, 3 colour cloud inks, & Linear leaves EF were picked out so popped along Friday to CE Kettering to buy my rewards before food shopping...perfect.
Whoever wins this divine little beauty will be dancing with supreme joy from here to eternity, so on that note I would like to convey my best wishes & good luck in the draw to all our magnificent Wilsonettes.
YVONNE G, everyday I think of you hoping that you are improving daily so it’s lovely to hear from you again my friend. I know where you are coming from with regards to ‘body on strike’ etc & I really can sympathise with you & I’m not just saying this because I may have mentioned it to Sue or written in an earlier comment that I was diagnosed with Chronic ME or CFS some years back after suffering several chest infections & bronchial pneumonia, every day is a constant tedious struggle with the body, the brain & sometimes just everyday simple things that would take anyone else minutes or a day to think of or to do whilst for me it takes hours or a week. If it wasn’t for my part time, term time job & my beautiful girls then I hate to think how worse this could be for me. So (((HUGS))) to you my friend x x x
Love ‘n’ (((HUGS))) to Annie & Bambi & (((HUGS)))to all our four-paws, hope she has recovered from her nervous night & that the vet says she can have the Bach’s Rescue. Love to you & family Lynda x x x
LORRAINE; just loved reading your posts they really cheer me up with a good giggle to boot; I have to wait for a reasonably good day before I can be as funny, Lol. X x x
I’m still in shock my friends re Ally Pally; Mr B’s original shift pattern showed he was off that day & he was taking me but on Frid gone his shift pattern says he is working that day & no one wants to swap or give him the day off; grrrrrrrr I am hugely disappointed & was so looking forward to meeting our friends who could join us & especially now that a lovely lady has arranged for a group to meet with Sue at 2.30 on Sat, how lovely & generous of our dear Sue when her time is so valuable. X x x
Must close now my dear friends as I’m at character limit so Love ‘n’ (((HUGS))) to Sue & to you all especially to Cheryl, Molly, Melody & family & anyone else who is under par x x x Love Beth B x x x
Hin Sue
I love, love how you have created this card. It is gorgeous.....Rosie...xxx
Hi Sue,
Love this die, it's already on the wish list so thanks for another idea of how to use it...
Izzy
I absolutely love everything about that card. The colours are so lovely. I have the Canadian background and it's very versatile - so many ways to use it.
Two of my favourite dies, the peony and the Canadian background. The background die is used in a very different way too. Lovely. Thank you Sue.XX
Fabulous way of using the Canadian background die I'm trying to be good and save my money until AP but it ain't 'appening
To My Very Special Friend Sue,
What A Truly Beautiful Card!!!! I Love The Fabulous Colour Palette You've
Chosen The Milk/Peach Foundation Card, Using These Colours To Matt And Layer
You've Cut The Canadian Background Then Cut Into Three Strips Which Looks
Fabulous Once They've Been Mounted With Mounting Foam
Also Using Many Of My Other Favourites For Example The Very Beautiful
Maidenhair Fern, The Stunning Perfect Peony I Just Love How You've
Used The Iced Snow And Your Matching Stick Pins
Then A Wonderful Die Which I Use A Great Deal Which Is
The Fabulous "Pierced Flags Die Set" I Use This Die Set
A Lot (You Know Why Sue)
Can I Say Good Luck To The Very Lucky Recipient Of This Magnificent Card
Sue Thank You For Sharing And Your Kindness It's Also Just Great To See You Back At "NUMBER TWO"
In The Blogspot Places But It Would Be Better If You Were At Your Correct Position
"NUMBER ONE"
Take Great Care My Friend
Warmest Wishes To Your Mom And Colin
Love And Huge Hugs To Yourself
Hugs To All Wilsonettes

Hi Sue,
Beautiful card this morning. I really love the Canadian Background die and have been really impressed with every card you have made with it. This one has very clean and simple lines and is very elegant. It is really suitable for an anniversary card as you have shown here. Looking forward to seeing you on Hochanda soon. Love and hugs to everyone, have as good a day as possible. Love Alison xxx
Another elegant card Sue,
The Canadian background is divine. I saw John making a card with it on Hochanda. This die never fails to impress with it's versatility.

Morning Sue, What a lovely card to start the day with and maybe be in with a chance to win it too. Hugs xx PAuline A
Morning Sue. A spectacular card today. Why didn't I think of doing that with the boarder, the answer being I don't have your wonderful ability to see other possibilities with dies. This is so pretty and a real winner.
Love Rosemarie x x
Good morning everyone
Sue, I just love this card. Such a creative use of the die and beautiful colour scheme.
I must apologise for being AOL for he last week or so. I knew I hadn't the same energy for anything and had lost my mojo! Even the arrival of three, yes three, parcels from Joanna Sheen didn't help. Anyway, it turned out I was anaemic, so had a blood transfusion on Monday, hopefully that'll sort me out!! I now have the Canadian die so will give this card a try tomorrow.
Hugs to everyone who needs one,
Susi in Cyprus
Interesting card Sue.

What a wonderful way of using the background die.
These colours work well together. I love all the different ways you think to use the background dies.

Fabulous die work and I adore those pins.
Hi Sue - this background die never fails to make beautiful cards and each time it is so different. John did some lovely samples on Hochanda with this die.

Hello Sue
Such a beautiful card today using one of my favourite dies. The Canadian background has been a feature in so many gorgeous cards made by both you and John.
The milk and peach coloured card go so well together. I love all the other wonderful dies that you have used in this gorgeous card! Luckily I have the Canadian Background so must have a play and try something similar!
Sunny here this morning but for how long?

Morning Sue, what a beautiful card, and a fantastic giveaway, although if it was me I don't think I would want to give it away (I do get attached to my cards)
The Canadian Background is lovely and very much on my wish list, together with lots of your other dies.
Wendyx
Good morning! This card is absolutely gorgeous! I love the color, the background, the flower, the pin...EVERYTHING!
Have a beautiful day!
Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
Oh Sue this is bonnie today, so soft in shading and so just right the soft peachy pink against what for me is winter white, a gentler white than the stark one. I love everything about it including that soft hinted rose with colour on it's edges. I know i don't have the Canadian background so will need to have a look later to see what i can use instead.
Car into get a winter check down so my friend is meeting me there to pick me up and take me into Stirling. Her hubby is doing the driving but i know she feels the same as me, i hope he finds somewhere or thing to do while we do the main business of putting the world to rights inbetween coffees and having a wee daunder round the shops. He has always got to be right and pick my friend up before she even trips never mind falls P.I.T.B.(pain in the b**). Since he stopped working he always has to be there following around like a collie dog or in his case a pit bull terrier.
Have a lovely day girls and sending hugs to all my Angels that have helped to keep me a float.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Hello Sue & Wilsonettes,
Yes please! I would love to have my name put in the drawing! I absolutely love this card! I must get that background die. It's already on my wish list (but then again, everything I don't have is on that list- lol)! Beth B I think your method of putting wish list items into a hat is a perfect way to judiciously choose what to buy next. It would save me time because I'll hem & haw over the choices for quite a while, when the fact of the matter is, I want it all (wow that sounds selfish- but it's true)!
Oops, phone about to run out of juice. Sending happy thoughts & good luck to all the Wilsonettes! Did I mention I want to be included in the drawing? Well just in case you weren't sure, I'd love to be included in the drawing! Lol :o)
Rebecca in Colorado
Morning Sue. This is a stunning card, very stylish and elegant. The colour's are beautiful as is the background and what can i say about your flower's but WOW they always look so real and the stick pins are lovely, is there any chance of some new colours in the beads for the stick pins. Good luck to everyone for the draw on saterday.
Take care everyone.
Best Wishes.

Lovely card Sue - the hints of pink are just delightful. Susan x
Another beautiful card Sue. Love these colours, think the Canadian background die might have to jump to the top of the list as it seems so versatile. Would love to win this card!

Top of the morning Sue and the lovely Wilsonettes,
Wow! The Canadian background die is perhaps my most favourite die at the moment-I have just completed a card and matching box for a friends birthday using this fabulous die , I just love the way that you can embellish it with pearls, it's so effective. Layering with the panels is ingenious and the classic Sue finishing touches of the flower and stick pins create a work of art. Anybody would be cock a hoop to receive this beautiful card, so good luck to everyone in the draw.
Just a briefish post today, I have to rush off for a bath and wash my hair before I meet up with a friend later-she's going to introduce me to her new baby called Lulu who is a n 11 week old shit zuh( is that how you spell it?). I'm a bit afraid of dogs after being bitten on the face by a Labrador when I was 3 yrs old-I can handle little ones though, as long as they are no bigger than a large cat. It's funny how I don't mind being bitten and scratched by a moggie but I have a paralysing fear of being bitten by a dog- I love all animals and find dogs cute too....just at a distance! I have bought Lulu a little furry jacket to attach her lead to and keep her warm in the cold Scottish climate- I bought one for Brodie too but the small was a bit neat around his shoulders, he looked hilarious running around the house trying desperately to wiggle out of it:-) Cruel? who me?
I really wish that I could go to Ally Pally this month, it would be a dream of mine to meet the lovely Sue and some of you cheeky ladies, well, maybe next year....
Susi, so sorry to hear about your blood transfusion, I've had a few in my time and it is amazing the positive effect they can have afterwards, they give you a real boost of energy- hope you feel better soonxxxx
Beth, I had no idea about your health woes, ME is a chronically debilitating illness so you are a true superwoman achieving all that you do, I only wish that I had an ounce of your gung-Ho spirit! I was really ill last year when my weight dropped to 3.5 stones so I know what it feels like to be sapped of all your strength, it can be frustrating and soul destroying. You just have to tell yourself that you won't let the limitations of your body beat you, I always find that humour is the best antidote and can pull you through even the darkest of times. You just have to learn to listen to and be kind to your bodyxxxx
I am getting steadily more excited about Sues appearances and just a bit curious as to what she will bring us- hopefully the Hochanda website will be up and running by then or they will miss out on a lot of sales I think!
Hope you enjoy the tail end of your holiday Sue, but we cannot wait to see you grace our screens againxxxx
Love and crafty hugs,
Laine1972xxxxxx
Morning Sue, beautiful card, love the flower and stick pins! I totally agree with you about time flying, I have never known a year go so quick. Love Jean xxx

Hi Sue. Love the card, the Canadian background die is fabulous.
Jenny
Hi Sue, my apologies for being AWOL yesterday, suffice to say that I spent the best part of the day and evening travelling and hanging around in hospital waiting rooms. Not a happy bunny. I love both cards and am pleased that I have all the ingredients for both of them. Really looking forward to having time to play. I'm sorry if I have missed anything and will try to catch up on the comments later.

What a beautiful card Sue xx

Hello Sue, your card is beautifully stunning!!, Kate x
Afternoon Sue
Beautiful. This card would look lovely in my front room. It is just the thing needed to distract from the mess that the boys leave behind every day. It would take pride of place and although I don't dust very often I promise it would take priority over any other housework and I will not allow cobwebs to accumulate as they do everywhere else in the house. (If that doesn't work..........) x
Norah - wholeheartedly agree with your thanks to Sue for her blog. As yet I have not had the pleasure of meeting up with fellow Wilsonettes but This blog is such a Godsend. It's like meeting up with friends for a good 'chinwag' and is such a comforting and heartening part of my day. I really miss 'my friends' when I am having one of my completely 'out of action' episodes. I have to say though that I do think I would give you a run for your money as to who is the most bonkers x
Deb C - nice to have you back. You went away at the wrong time. There was an attempted takeover of BCAS committee members and in the absence of head of security it was a worrying time x
Maureen - or should I call you Miss Havisham? Lol x
Wheely Bad - big gentle hugs x
Lorraine - I can only liken our feelings of hysteria due to the anticipation of new crafty 'toys' to that of a young child on Christmas Eve. That, or we are all two sandwiches short of a picnic. What a shame you don't feel that it is important to make an effort to come to Ally Pally. It's not all about you!!! Lol. Seriously - be lovely to meet you face to face although I don't think a weekend would be long enough to accommodate us talking. Enjoy play time my friend and stay dry x
Molly - have a fabulous time in beautiful Devon x
Maria - 'yeh alright I'll do it later' is a very familiar and regularly used phrase in this house - and not by me. I am hoping to be well enough to make it to Ally Pally - will you be there? x
Beth B - Bless you. Up until four and a half years ago my life was so different. In December 2010 my partner of 21 years passed away very suddenly and unexpectantly. He was 49 and it was my boys that found him in the garden. It was absolutely devastating. Obviously our lives changed dramatically from that moment onwards. Up to this point I had been an incredibly active, on the go working healthy individual who didn't stop. I am not after a sympathy vote, far from it. I now have a very different outlook on life and realise what is important and my priorities have changed. Still trying to deal with being so inactive and unable to do much which is not who I am. Family, good friends and Wilsonettes are such a blessing. What a shame that you won't make it to Ally Pally. I am hoping to make it. Do you think it will be ok for me to gatecrash the 2.30 meeting? Lol. Take care my friend and lets hope in the future we will get to meet x
Susi in Cyprus - hope you are feeling better x
Fluffy cat - Fingers crossed for a better day x
Anyway I am still in my pj's at the moment so off to make myself look a little more presentable. Have a good day everyone.
Crafty hugs

Your card is really beautiful...I love your soft color contrast. This card must have seemed small for you...LOL I noticed the dimensions are smaller than usual. Love your art and talent. TFS Jan D., Florida, USA

An absolutely gorgeous card. Just started thinking about designs for Christmas cards today and am about to search your blog for further inspiration!
Gorgeous card again Sue, just love the colours. I would just love to win this card xxx
Hi Sue,
I love this one!! I think that the Canadian background is one of my favourites, possibly because my late father was Canadian :). I love the colours you've chosen for today's card and of course, it has my favourite...pins!!! I'm typing with my fingers crossed as I would be so please if I were lucky enough to be chosen to win this week. x
Where do you come up with all these wonderful ideas? The Canadian die is rather difficult to cut, but with your great suggestions from your video I was able to get it. I like the idea of making strips out of it too, this could open up all kinds of possibilities, especially if you have leftover bits. I think using a different color underneath really brings out the delicate design on this one. Nice card!
Simply stunning!!
Live the card. So stunning. Thank you for sharing.
Yummy, soft and sweet card today. Love it!
Hi Sue,
One word - stunning!!! Love the colour combination. The Canadian background is a very versatile die. Another must have........

Gorgeously beautiful card Sue, i love everything about it, the colours and the flower,
Thank You so much Sue for your continuing inspiration and oh how i wish i was going to Ally Pally but its way to far for me,
plus my OH is going into the Countess of Chester Hospital for a pretty serious operation on an Anurism in his hand, apparently the doctors have never heard of one there let alone operated on one, we have to b there for 7 30 am so it will be a 6 30 start to get there, i will try and get on to comment when i can, hugs to all Johanna
Beautiful card again Sue. Thank you. I made an anniversary card in similar colours yesterday. Haven't got the Canadian background die yet but it's on my wish list. Looking forward to seeing you at Ally Pally and all the other Wilsonettes.
Beautiful card Sue!
I always looked at this die and wasn't sure if I needed it. Guess what I do.
The flower is gorgeous.
Gorgeous card Sue. I absolutely adore it. Must get this die it seems to be so versatile. Thanks for sharing your amazing ideas. Best wishes Loraine (Lorrie)xx

Hi Sue,
I'm so late and I pinned the card this morning! I was distracted! My husband has been decorating - well painting - the cloakroom! There has been less hassle with the painting of the Forth Bridge! Still it is now a fait accomplis and not bad at all. Don't tell him - he might want to paint somewhere else!
As for Maureen and her multiple aliases - please do not encourage her!
I totally agree - this a a super blog with a super leader and through it I've made lots of real friends, not just virtual ones!!
Oh yes! Distractions R Us today I think!
Today's card is a real beauty and another to try to emulate. Thank ou Sue!
You have been a very busy lady haven't you!!!
Saying no more tonight!
Love to all, Myra xxx
PS Molly - hope you are enjoying your holiday!
A lovely and very intricate looking card today Sue, thank you.

such a pretty soft feminine card. beautifully ornate, hugs xx
