Stunning card Sue, love it.
Laine, my heart breaks for you, you are all in limbo at the moment. As regards the card, if it relates to your dad, go for colours or flowers that he liked and it will always be right.
Daily hugs to Sue, Melody, Francis, Laine, Tracey, hope you are okay honey.
Hugs all round

Oh WOW Sue,
this is an absolute stunner. You forgot to add a word in your description and that is "ELEGANT". This card is gorgeous, must be like a dream come true for the recipient. Excellent video, too, showing us the technique with the chalk pencil. MUST try that.
Hugs, Rose
Good morning Sue.
Another fab video tutorial, thank you.
I love todays card and will be buying the Barely Nude Colour Cloud as it will be very useful in the scrapbook I'm gradually making of my wedding pictures (taken 31 years ago today-eek!). X
Lovely pastel card, so pretty, xxx
Hi Sue,
This looks a very interesting technique to try, I'm sure I've got some wax crayons somewhere...
Izzy
Morning Sue, I loved watching you show this technique, and how wonderful does it look, a fabulous card, I love shabby chic.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Not so shabby, Sue, and certainly very chic! Exquisite, in fact - so pretty and a real 'Sue' card, nice new technique with the wax crayon and love the floral embellishment and pins. You're right, avoid sagging at any cost! Great video as ever, thank you.

Lovely card Sue and how interesting to use a white crayon.
Love Val in Spain x
A beautiful card today Sue. Love the way these dies work together. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day everybody
Hugs Sylvia xx
And I went and threw away my waxed crayons recently as my nephew is well over the age of wanting to use them!! How could I have foreseen that the white one could be so useful?
An interesting technique that has gone towards producing a beautiful card. The colour cloud comes up pink on my iPad but I will assume it is far more subtle that in real life. Certainly one for the stash I think.
Teresa
Hi Sue. Stunning card today. Love the colours. Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx

Theresa w xxx
Hi Sue
What a pretty card today and a different technique, who would have thought the white crayon could add such a dimention. I had to smile when you were feeling the embossing folder to find the right side, I often find myself doing that too , do you think you could get somerhing printed on one side for a quick reference. I eventually get round to writing on mine but until that point I'm having to feel. Sorry to be a pain but I know you like feedback!
Take care
Love Diane G xxx
Tracey sorry I had to chuckle about your card - you and your friend will have a good laugh about it for years to come, that's good friends for you and at the moment you are allowed! Xxx
Lovely. xx
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Very pretty and feminine looking in the pastel pink. Thanks for your video.

Hi Sue, I absolutely love shabby chic and this card is absolutely perfect for me . Love the shabby chic technique I will definitely give it a go. Take care, Ivy C x
Hi Sue,
I am loving all things shabby chic at the moment so I will be giving this technique a go, it is just so effective,who would have thought that something so pretty would've achieved with a little old crayon!!
I am off for a play in the craft room.
Crafty hugs

Fabulous card! I love the colour and it's nice to see your pins! Lovely detailed embossing and I love the recessed look. Off to watch the video! Have a great day!
Very nice, look forward to watching your video :)
Hi Sue,
Another beauty for us today. Just about to watch video but I'm sure it will be brilliant as usual!
Laine and Frances - thanks for asking about Scamp. She seems to be moving easier and has actually settled to cage confinement really well bless her. One of us is always in with her ( usually me) so she's very settled. It's probably easier for her because she's an indoor cat. I think she's agraphobic! She quite likes the idea of going out but is terrified when she's outside and just wants to get back inside! We go back to the vets on Thursday so we'll see then how she's doing. XXXX
Tracy - I did have a chuckle about the card, doe that a few times myself! Xx
Laine - sorry you're having trouble getting the funeral organised, hope things get sorted soon xxx
Love and hugs to all, Alison xxxx
A lovely card.
Love
Meg xxx
Hi Sue, this card is certainly not shabby but is most definitely tres chic! I love everything about it especially the frosted flower and butterfly. What a shame that I didn't have time to watch the video before going out earlier, I was in at least two shops where I could have bought some reasonably priced crayons. Trying the technique will have to wait until I can go shopping again :(
Janice K - Happy Anniversary! Hope you and OH are having a lovely day.
Frances
Alison - we must have been typing at the same time:) So pleased Scamp is doing well, I'll be thinking of you both on Thursday.
Frances
Just received my folder on Saturday, so I'm all set to go. Great tutorial and a fabulous card Sue. Hugs Rita xxxxxx

Love your Shabby Chic cards and today's card is no exception. WOW, all those depths you achieved in this card. I like this crayon resist technique. Wonder where I put those childhood crayons I could not get rid of for so many years? Thank you Sue for sharing with us crafters. You are so good to us!
Hi Sue
This is the most elegant shabby chic I've seen, gorgeous and thanks for the great video. Bought some coloured pencils today now I'll have to get wax crayons too!!
Laine thinking of you and sending caring hugs
Hugs and best wishes everyone

Great card and video. So many new techniques to try.
Hi Sue, just watched your video, now all I need is a white wax crayon! makes a lovely subtle effect. Love from Jackie xx
PS beautiful flowers in the vase behind you!
Beautiful card Sue I always mean to try die cutting into the sheet rather than using the die the other way round. Sue your cards are so crisp clean and sharp looking, mine always seem muddy but usually I do messy, so perhaps I can you that as my excuse
Hugs to you and yours

Beautiful once more. Getting very difficult to find a card that I don't like as everything always looks so classy and even if I'm not sure on the colour that is easily changed.
Hi Sue. A beautiful card and another technique to try.xx
Hi Sue,
What a pretty card. I love all the techniques you are showing us.

Hi Sue.
Absolutely beautiful. Everything about it is just gorgeous. I feel I need that colour in my inky collection. It's been a while since I've done any resisting especially the strawberries and cream Lindt chocolates lol !
If only it took foam tape to stop the sag, at my age I'd be covered from head to toe in the bloomin stuff !
Sending my usual hugs to you Sue and to Sam and TOB.

Gorgeous card. Haven't seen this technique before, so will give it a go.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!!!
