Hi bloggers! I started this card by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the
Bed of Roses embossing folder. I used a
smoothie to pounce
Aqua Adirondack lightly over the embossing. Next I sprayed it with
permanent spray adhesive and coated it with
Diamond Sprinkles. I used the
Ornate Friend Brighter Days die set and cut it out of
coconut white card twice. I backed both pieces with an
aqua card back. I cut the centres out of both of them using the inside circle die in the set. I added mounting foam to one of them and cut the other one into four pieces. I added each of the four pieces to the flat sides of the uncut die, extending them outwards for the appearance of a larger die behind it. I cut two of the
Elegant Laced Edger and placed them to the inside of the dies to add detail to the circular opening. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the oval from the
Hannah die set. I lightly inked the edger with
aqua ink then added it to the centre of the frame with mounting foam. I finished the card with some
white flatback pearls and my usual matting and layering. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue and all
spoilt again with aqua and white, beautiful card and the gorgeous bed of roses EF as well.
One of the things I found while sorting out was my years old brayer so I will have a go at making something like yesterday's card- maybe in blue and purple
I really enjoy Vera too, good stories and fabulous scenery, one day when I finally make the trip ............
have a great day

Hi Sue. Gorgeous card, love how you've used the same die twice but made them look different. Sue XXX
Hello Sue
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year.
I like this card... but... it needs something to provide a little contrast with all the curly wurls... one of your messy bows and baker's twine would be perfect.
Jan from NSW (Aus)
Lovely card again Sue. Have a nice weekend everyone. JJxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful card today, you cannot go wrong when using your lovely roses embossing folder, always a winner in my book.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Morning Sue,
A stunning card today, I love the bed of roses embossing folder. I haven't been able to buy it yet, I will have to ask my local craft store to order it for me.
I spent yesterday playing with my new die sets and actually made 2 cards. It made a nice change to do this.
Today I am babysitting again so no crafting for me.
Have a lovely day

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is a beautiful card Sue and in a beautiful colour as well, it would be just the ticket for our friends that are not bow, flowers or pearls/diamontes sort of people. The ornate friends die set is really pretty and the aqua card showes up its beauty to the max under the white die cut. Thank you Sue for another stunning card that i can see so much use for, now all i need to do is get it, lol.
Well it is absolutely teeming down here at the Ochils this morning and so very dark so whatever plans i had made today to go out has been put on hold as at my speed(me and a tortoise would do well together) i will be absolutely soaked through. I think i will carry on making my little baby grandson his aqua coloured cardi in front of the fire. Sending special hugs to Barbara, you are in my thoughts and prayers special lady, Sheena, i am sendign some to you too as i know just how difficult it is the now for you and how i wish i could help you. Sending special hugs to Tracey, i hope that you are not too bad with the side effects from your new round of chemo flower and counting down when you will be finished this horrible treatment. Hugs to all the other Wilsonettes that need one or could just do with one,
love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue,
Lovely card and gorgeous couloir.
Tracy I agree with you about the pain rather than feeling sick! I hate being sick! That's the worst thing for me about migraines. Your positive attitude does you real credit xx
Foul day here today. Love and hugs to everyone, Alison xxx
Love this card, especially the colour combination. Thank you Sue.
Beautiful card Sue.
Morning Sue, another gorgeous card and see your still in the aqua fase I still love it too.
Just getting ready to fly home today and leave the sun behind but at least I will be able to watch Hochanda again
As we didn't get a strong enough signal here to watch any so I have been getting withdrawal symptoms.
Nancyd xx
Hi Sue, lovely card today, one of your classic styles, thank you.
The aqua colour is great and I've noticed quite a lot recently in this colour from you so it must be a favourite with you too.
The new dies are fabulous and added to my wishlist.
I've made the decision to retire from work so I will definitely have more time for crafting but not enough cash to pursue all of the lovely crafty items I want so I'll have to try and win the lottery LOL!!!
Lots of love and craftihappiness everyone,

Good morning Sue,
beautiful card and colour again... Love hese aqua tones...

Hugs, Rose
Great colours and lovely card xxxx
Hi Sue
Beautiful card again today oh look it's the bed of roses again - I think it's becoming everyone's favourite folder. I had to force myself to use a different one this week, the other folders were feeling unloved!!! I do like this aqua colour, suitable for all ages. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxxxx
Tracey, good to hear your not feeling sick but sorry about the aching. Not long to go now though so keep smiling. Xxxx
Pearl you will be counting down the days until you retire now you've made that decision. Stock up on as much stash as you can before you go and ask for dies as a retirement gift and you will be set for ages! Xxxxx
Really nice card Sue, love the die set.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Hi Sue
I recently bought the brighter days ornate frame and I have the bed of roses ( my favourite ) EF so there is no reason not to try to make something as beautiful as this card!!
Tracy sorry you're feeling so sore but anything is better than being sick, hang on in there only a couple more to go
Pearl enjoy your retirement you'll wonder how you found the time to work
Hugs and best wishes everyone

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Beautiful background with the bed of roses embossing folder. Lots of intricate detail and lovely colours.
Beautiful card today Sue. I like this Aqua colour. Must get some. For some unknown reason I didn't get any blog post from Creative Expressions yesterday so no post from Sue, John or Julia. Have checked the Junk and Trash and not there either. Strange,
What a good idea using the brighter days die - I have just bought that one so must try this!!!

Hi Sue,
Beautiful card, love the way that you cut into the dies to add layers, love the colour too.
Thanks for all the great inspiration,
Heather Treble
Hello Sue.
Lovely Card, great colour. I really like the background and how you have used the Ornate Friend Brighter Days die. I love this level of decoration (not to elaborate) and would probably make a great male Card with a change of colouring. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Love how the inking on the background makes it look velvety!! STUNNING! TFS!
Hi Sue,
What a beautiful card! I love the dies you've used today and I always love it when you use the diamond sprinkles :). I'm seriously thinking about getting some smoothies as I'm totally useless at blending my inks, I either get too much colour, not enough, or streaks so hopefully I may get a better result if I try a smoothy.
What a shock |I had today...I actually managed to get into town and back again in the dry!!! The sun was even shining so I actually got some use out of my new transitions lenses lol. The wind is bitterly cold though so not a good idea to stay out too long and I was really glad to get home again :)
Bejay x
Great looking card....I like the layers that you made on the card....tfs
well done as always Sue....thanks
Good afternoon Sue, another lovely creation. Hugs, Ivy xx
Pretty card, Sue, love the background - another EF not owned yet!
Tracy - keep going girl, sorry about your pain, but one lot of treatment finished now.
fluffycat and Laine - thanks for good wishes, usual sort of day (muddy, fluffy, lots of cats plus two sheep and four horses to care for). Not great celebrators - no pressies or cards but that's how we like it.

Hi Sue
Very pretty indeed, I do like the aqua tones. I love this EF but (and I know this is verging on crafty criminality) it's been so long since I crafted and even longer since I crafted properly with my dies I have kinda forgot what I have and haven't got! Hoping I get in there at the weekend to put together a checklist before my birthday as I don't want to double up! Plus I need to finish tidying up in there and the list of "to do" is starting to grow and there's the small matter of new dies to make room for. Got a nice pile starting from last year of "things to play with when..." and you just know I want to add to it.
Tracy, hope you're ok, hugs xxx
Molly, hugs for you and all your family xxx
To Everyone feeling yucky, sleepy, sore, achey and/or isolated, hugs xxx
To those on the east coast of the USA, wrap up warm! Hope the weather isn't too much of a problem for you xxx
Sorry I've not been about, the funeral Tuesday took it out of me then yesterday I had to go out again to see the nurse for my jab. Knackered but I plan to do something crafty related between 4 and 5 here on the sofa and see how long I last, I got to try or I will never build back up. Still feel "meh" but getting bored and twitchy. Plan to crochet earlier this week bombed as I fell asleep. Minor bit of entertainment today when the wheelchair repair man arrived and was impressed at the huge rip in the rubber on my tyres... Mr W's pushing technique clearly needs to be reviewd lol but the tyre is nearly 3 years old.
Bugger, yawning already. Would like to last til at least 10pm or I'll be awake at silly o clock, which does not help matters. Rumbly tummy to so I will find a little snavk, a cuppa and get on.
Hugs to everyone, take care,
T x
Awesome!
Very pretty card, lovely subtle colours....I now have my bed of roses embossing folder, so I too will be playing with it....thank you Sue...luv Ursula xx
Just gorgeous!
Hi Sue, yet another beautiful card in a gorgeous colour. I really like the Ornate Friend Brighter Days die and the way you have snipped it apart - yet another one for the wish list.
Wishing everyone a happy week-end.

Hi Sue. Wow. Love it. Hugs Jan.x
Very ornate I love the font of the sentiment
Great idea for using the square die twice, looks gorgeous
Hi Sue. Love the design of the card and how clever it is to use the die twice in different orientations. Not sure if it is how the picture has come across on the internet, but for me it perhaps needs a touch of another colour for interest.

Beautiful colour and stunning card. The bed of roses EF is one of my favourites
