Good Sunday morning all! I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the
Provencale Lace embossing folder for texture. Once embossed, I very lightly added some
Victorian Velvet Distress ink across the top with a smoothie to add just a hint of colour to the background. Next I cut the
Auckland die out of white card and backed it with some card from my stash (called Strawberry and Cream). I cut two of the
Magnolia Adornments in white and turned the Auckland to a diamond orientation, adding the adornments to the sides. I stamped the sentiment and cut a frame for it using the cutting edge from the
Auckland and the the
Maggie die set. I added some foam to it and centred it over the sentiment then trimmed away thee excess around the edge. I seated it in the middle of the card and cut three butterflies from the
Thank You Circle set to add as accents. I finished the card in my usual manner with piercing and matting. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size.
The winner of this week's Comment Game are:

Great card Sue.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteA very pretty card to cheer up a very dull morning, I must get a move on and decide on a design for my daughters 17th in 9 days the only thing she's asked for is pink so while I'm with Mick I've been looking at craft blogs for some ideas and sketch different ideas
Mick had a very sleepy day he is still on the antibiotics but did manage to eat and drink and his pain was under control so he was not restless, thank you up all for your kind words and wishes I do try and catch up but my phone decides to cut off while I'm doing it and keeps stopping half way through the videos
I forgot to congratulate Pearl on winning card yesterday and congratulations to the winners today
Happy crafting
Love and huge hugs to everyone
Love Tina xxxx
Good morning Sue. Beautiful card, lovely the strawberries and cream theme.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners, especially June - I hope this cheers you up after your rotten time lately. Wishing everyone a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend. Sue XXX
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a wonderful surprise this morning on opening the blog to see my name as a winner, congratulations also to TDQ Karen and Janice.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card today, love the strawberry and cream colour theme too. I am going to check my spreadsheet later to see if I have all of those dies, I know I am a couple of the set sort but not sure which ones.
Once again thank you Sue and congrats to all the other winners.
NannaTina, lets hope they can sort Mick out now, sending lots of hugs. Also to everyone else who is suffering or struggling in whatever form that may take.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Sunday smiles on their way to you Sue.
ReplyDeleteWow ! I love this pretty delicate card, full of summer beauty from the gorgeous background, to the tiny butterfly. I would really love to own the Mongolia die, the more cards I see made with this the more I feel I need it, but it seems that so many folders are passing me by and considering they are the first step towards a gorgeous outcome I need to re-think if next purchase should be metal or plastic !!
Sending many congratulations to all 3 winners of the comment game, what a special start to your day - enjoy xx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card. I don't know how you do it. Your brain must hurt from being so busy. I have a hankering to recreate so many of your cards it will keep me busy til I'm at least 90!!!
Body was on strike for a couple of days - hence my not popping in to comment. I will make this a quick comment as I am still a little overwhelmed by activity including typing and general thinking.!!
TRACY - so sorry to hear about your dad. Sending you a big warm hug. These things are always so hard to understand. Praying that you will find the inner strength to get you through this whichever way you need to. Lots of love x
Sending happy thoughts to everyone else - apologies for the lack of personal messages to the usual rabble!!
Take care
