Hello there my crafty friends! Configuration cards are always so easy to do and the results are just so spectacular. I just love the way the black pops against the aqua card, don't you? I hope you can take a few minutes to watch the video.
The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Gorgeous card, very oo la la .
ReplyDeleteJune good news to date.
NannaTina, what an awful worrying day for you, I'm sorry to hear Mick is so poorly, he was doing so well. I hope today he is better for you, and he must have been so frightened too.
Mary, you and your Mum are also going through the mill, hope you both feel better soon.
Lynda, it is always scary when they say that to you, I always thought that when they told me the same thing. Hope you don't wait too long for your appointment.
Hugs to all, especially Tracey and her dad, and all of our missing friends

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking card, so lacey and stunning colours, going to try and watch video before I take mum shopping
Mick has now left ICU and gone back to the rehab ward, still a bit confused but was talking and managed to drink and eat 2 tubs of ice cream, he was still on oxygen when I left last night but they said they where going to reduce it slowly, awaiting test results and then will decide what more tests maybe needed to find the cause but have said they may never find what caused this, some of the results that have come back have all been normal so he has the drs baffled, thank you to everyone for your kind words and wishes I am still smiling and taking each day as it comes and deal with what ever comes up
Happy crafting
Love and huge hugs to everyone
Love Tina xxxx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card today, I hadn't realised how lacy the Mitford die is and this showcases it beautifully. The black and Aqua are a lovely combination although I know it's not to everyone's taste, reminds me of very posh expensive undies!!! Thank you for sharing

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, lovely card, very lacy looking, it is a bit dark for me but a change of colour would suit me, maybe white instead of black.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Thank you for the demo.

Who would have thought an adornment die could, along with the contrasting colours, make such an impact. A stupendous card.
ReplyDeleteWow very striking
ReplyDeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be the odd one out today and say that although I don't mind some black - this is too much for me! I love the card and it may not look as effective in other colours but I think I'd prefer it. Sorry but I like to be honest ! The die is beautiful and I love what you have done with it just not the colour for me!
My friend Norah may not be too keen either but I'm not certain of that!
Thank you Sue for everything you do. Love to you and all friends here especially those who are going through tough times just now!
Thinking of you all. Xxx
Hi Sue. I agree that the use of the configurations dies in this way does make an absolutely stunning card. I also agree that the use of black on cards can make the design pop, however in this case there is a bit too much black for me - sorry. It may look different in other colours though.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
I love the way you use these configurations dies and create a whole new look, this one is stunning with the black on aqua...thanks for sharing Sue....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteStunning card Sue, and I can't wait to watch the video. I have this die so I will be making this card for sure! :)

ReplyDeleteGreat looking card.....it turned out really nice
ReplyDeletewell done Sue
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteI've really enjoyed the video tutorial as always it was brilliantly put together and very clear to follow, thank you Sue.
This is card certainly makes a great impact, i'm not sure about the black, I think it would look lovely in ginger and soft gold or periwinkle and navy but hay ho that's just my choice. The design is stunning, so yet again thank you for the wonderful inspiration.
Love and hugs, Brenda XXX
Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteI do not mind black and think it looks great against the aqua card but it is easy enough to change the colours to suit your taste.
Will keep the video to enjoy later.
Sue it's a beautiful card

Wow, what an interesting colour combination. Striking indeed. Again you have shown how much can be done with just one die to produce a great background.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
OMG! What a stunning card
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteFabulous striking card, but a little too much black for me. Sorry.
Pat L, enjoy London.
June, fingers crossed for the clinic next week.
Nana Tina, hope Mick continues to improve.
Tracy, thinking of you and your dad.
Love to all

This is lovely!
ReplyDeleteAqua again (smile) - I love you Sue - though at first I wasn't
sure about using it with black....but...it has grown on me and watching
Sue put it together I have decided I DO like it, lol
Would be lovely in gold and black too...and many other combo's
The Milford die is magnificent and I see I'm not
the only one who was reminded of sexy knickers tee hee

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteThis has to be one of my all time favourites definitely one to try.
Great card, Sue, don't have any of these dies but wondering if it would work with a chopped magnolia, carefuly played with and placed?!
ReplyDeleteHugs to all our poorly / worried ones.
Pet friends - long story shorthand - feral mamma cat refused to go into trap for months (or so caring person on site said) she had kittens in garage but was seen in flagrante with local Tom last week, so was imperative to get her in for spaying as couldn't risk her having more kittens so soon. With a little subterfuge, she was trapped Tuesday and no option but to separate her from kittens. She's with me in a large hospital cage and she'll be spayed tomorrow and go back after convalescence - where she is royally fed and looked out for. Fell in love with babes in a nanosecond (sandy/white female, blobby ginger/black/white female, black/white male - sooo gorgeous - but being their surrogate mum would say that!!) Absolutely cannot justify keeping them, so they'll all be homed responsibly which is far better for them than living with our gang.

Very dramatic effect with the pastel blue and black! Lovely, Susan x
ReplyDeleteLove using black card, but not sure on this one and may prefer in white but that aside love the card concept.
ReplyDeleteA stunning card! Love how the frame was made. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate all the pre-preparations you do to make your videos go so smoothly and look so effortless! ;.)
ReplyDeleteStunning card but am not a fan of black but perhaps this card may be the exception as it looked better on the video.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Card, as you say the black card really does pop. Yet another great Idea. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Hi Sue
ReplyDeletewow this is a stunner. Really love the colour combo and it's something a bit different. This is such a striking card, gorgeous.
Love Deb C xx
Absolutely stunning Sue. Love this.xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I love the design of this card and the die is so pretty but I'm in the minority again when I say there is just too much black for me. I would certainly try it in different colours though.
ReplyDelete'P' - the babies sound absolutely delighful. So glad it was nothing worse than mum being a floozie that necessitated you becoming a foster mum. Fingers crossed you can find them all good homes.

Hi Sue, wow a really striking card, love it :-) Ivy C x
ReplyDeleteAll that black makes your card look very dramatic!

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteCatching up on this weeks blogs and all the cards are absolutely gorgeous and thank you for today's video.
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what an eye poppingly stunning card. Just beautiful. The contrast of the black and aqua is so striking.
I do have a few of your configurations but with ongoing brain fog my imagination is broken. When you share your wonderful gift with us it is truly inspiring x
Lazy day (again) today as I am still feeling like a deflated balloon.
My tiredness was made worse by a period of excitement verging on hysteria. My mum had given me some money to treat myself to something nice to cheer me up. Well obviously the decision of what to buy was easy - Sue's dies. My predicament was which ones to choose. I ordered the pierced noble circles and the stitched lattice frames and they arrived today - hence my frenzied elation. I tell you something Sue - with you around I know that Anne Summers will not be getting my business. Your goods thrill me more than anything I could purchase from the much overrated range from A S x
LAINE - I do believe that you and I could give any Jeremy Kyle guest a run for their money. You would be ideal but I promise I could be that supportive friend who sits in the audience. Despite my morals being questionable I look like an angel x
LYNDA - sending you a hug x
WHEELY BAD - hugs to you my friend x
NANNA TINA - it is hard to keep smiling sometimes but you are battling on and I salute you. Make sure you take good care of yourself. Lots of love x
JUNE - gosh 6 weeks - fingers crossed the infection is gone and you are well on the way to feeling like your old self. Big hugs x
PAT - have a lovely time in London x
TRACY - fair point. I live in Croydon - that's a fab name for a die don't you think?
P - oh my word you have got your hands full x
Taken me a while to do my comment and didn't realise what time it is. No wonder my eyes keep closing.
Sending Happy thoughts to everyone x
Crafty hugs
Yvonne

P.S. Just to reiterate Sue - I would like a friend die added to the perspectives range a collection which includes a die called Croydon and seeing as I am your favourite a die called Yvonne would be a lovely gesture - thanks x
HI SUE
ReplyDeleteLOVE THE LACEY FEEL TO THIS CARD. WHAT GREAT WAY TO USE THE DIES.

ReplyDeleteLovely :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting card today Sue, very dramatic, been using a bit more black on my cards lately for a change. Anne x
ReplyDeleteHi sue, what a beautiful card, crafty hugs Julie laz xxx
