Hi there! Just a pretty card for a Monday morning! I started by cutting four of the
Centaurus Tri Gemini die in white. I used both decorative cutting pieces with the two outer cutting edges each time. Next I used
Iris card and cut four backing pieces, just using the cutting edges that matched the latticed area of the dies. I glued the in place behind and added mounting foam to the backs of each of them. I used the centre die from the
Antwerp to cut an aperture in a piece of
coconut white card. I added mounting foam to the back of it to raise it, then added it to another piece of white card, creating a recessed centre. I cut the matching centre die from the
Antwerp and recessed it into the aperture. I added the four
Gemini dies around the edge, overlapping the ends of each. I stamped a sentiment then cut it out with the small oval from the
Antwerp set. I inked it lightly with
Dusty Concord before removing it from the die and seated it in the centre of the card on foam. I added four of the
pearl corners in white then finished the card with my usual mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue, wow what a beautiful card this morning, love how youve layed out the diecuts and the colour choice. hugs Shirleyxxxxx
Wow this is stunning Sue. Until I saw the close up photo I thought the lacy part of the Gemini die was a separate die!
This set definitely on my wish list, there is so much you can do with them. x
Good morning Sue and all you crafty crew
What a very pretty card for this wet Monday morning
It is a tonic I love the dies used may be I might just need them. Lol

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Very pretty and so much intricate detail with your dies. I love it.
So fresh and pretty card with the four Centaurus Tri Gemini die, love it!
As you say Sue a gorgeous card to start this miserable Monday morning (here in Cumbria).
VC Cumbria x
Morning Sue,
What a pretty card but, oh Lord...here's yet another die to add to my ever growing wish list, lol. It's nice and bright to start the week off and we sure need it with more typical 'summer' weather.
Goodness, it's a weird morning though. It's actually stopped raining down here in Truro but, as always, the wind is ever present and it's quite sultry outside. I do so hate muggy weather, it drains what little energy I have to begin with.
So far this morning I've tried to put a thin tempered glass screen protector on my cell phone but I'm getting ever more frustrated by the fact that I can't get all the 'bubbles' from underneath it. I think I'll wait while Wednesday as I'm booked in to see a 'guru' in the O2 shop to sort out another problem. Maybe he will have the magic touch to get the darned thing on properly lol.
The rest of the day is catch up after whiling away the afternoons last week watching the final stages of Wimbledon,and I need to try and get the craft room finally finished. I was doing okay until I had the bright idea to cover the worktops with fablon, so everything is now back on the floor lol. I'll get there one day. The bright side is, for some wonderful reason the postie has already been (it's usually after 1:00pm) and he delivered TWO craft mags, both with free dies this month, so I really do need to get my act together and get the refurb finished so that I can go and play :)
Healing thoughts to all our friends who need them and gentle hugs as well.
Happy crafting Monday, folks.
Bejay xx
Hi Sue and everyone
Definitely a beautiful card to cheer us all up on this awful grey day. It's pouring down here! Love the colour on this card. It is so pretty.
Theresa G, thanks for 'replying' to my comment. I hope you enjoyed yourself at the Donny show. It was really busy wasn't it? I too went yesterday. Yes we could have had a cuppa and a chat.
I bought Sue's new Christmas Rose die set, can't wait to try it.
Love Helen xxx
Beautiful card Sue.
Beautiful, just beautiful, crafty hugs Julie laz xxx

Hello Sue,
It was rather wet here earlier but at the moment it is dry! Always look on the bright side! Well I try!
Your gorgeous cards are always on the bright side of life! I love how you have used the Centaurus die - very effective! All in all a real treat.
Thank you Sue!
Love to all, especially those who are suffering and hugs for all the patient Carers out there too! Hugs for Tracy!

Hi all, back from my weekend in Bristol celebrating the Pride event. My daughter was amazing pushing me around in the wheelchair, I couldn't have done it without that.
Will spend some time playing catch up.
Love to all my blog buddies xxx
Very pretty card by Lianne Morrison in England
Hi Sue. Very classy card today and such a lovely colour. It just goes to show how you can make such a pretty card using only a couple of dies.
Lisbeth
Morning Sue, lovely card, the colours are just right
Take care, Jess xxx
Lovely lovely card Sue. I must go and look at the Antwerp set as I can't see what the Gemini dies are sat on. Loved yesterday's card, couldn't post as our internet was playing up.
A really pretty card. Just catching up with the shows from last week as I was unable to watch then.
Have just purchased the tri Gemini Centaurus die. I think it is classy. Thank you for the ideas. Not what I had in mind. Lovely card.
Susan x
This is one of my favourite cards. I love the way you have used the Gemini die and also the colour behind it. It is really beautiful Sue. Thankyou for sharing this and all your work with us.

Lovely card, Sue, don't have any of the elements but could try with similar. The pearl corners are so pretty, too.
Nanna Tina - missing you - hope all's well??
Yvonne G - blimey you do live it up! Thought I was excelling myself watching Super Andy on (not in) bed, as himself not interested in tennis. Had a veggie Oxo drink, some almonds and Mimi and Moonshine for company - the high life or perhaps not.
cr@fty Heather - those are Welsh poppies!!! Yellows to oranges, grow wild in various spots around us. So lovely.
Hugs to Tracy and all who need one.

This is such an unusual die, but lovely.xx
Hello Sue
Such a beautiful card
Evening Sue
Love this card. Antwerp is such a pretty die (which I do have), and as for the Centaurus Gemini die (which I have) well they make such a beautiful partnership.
I do love the iris card and the ensemble which you have created is perfect. Thanks Sue x
Quiet day today. Need to have a day of rest to recover from living it up over the weekend. Mum in law came for dinner. Made a curry and then spent ages staring at a bunch a bananas that were almost passed the point of no return wondering what gastronomic delight I could conjure up. Eventually settled on throwing together a banoffee crumble. Sliced the bananas, opened a tin of carnation caramel and spread it over the bananas then topped it with crumble. Baked til golden brown and the caramel is starting to ooze up the edges of the dish through the topping. Served with vanilla ice cream. Well I cannot tell you how scrum diddly umptious it was. You got to give it a go or come round and I will make it for you. Right up your street Sue - mega sweet x
Pam - I suppose incorrigible is one word to describe Laine and myself. If I told you that we have become incredibly good friends after 'meeting' on the blog would you believe me. In fact I am going to be giving her a ring after I have commented. So the insults which we hurl at each other really is just banter. You should hear how we talk to each other on the phone, lol, or maybe not. Hoping Laine will be coming to stay in September and big fingers crossed tightly we will make Ally Pally x
P - oh the high life these days is a much more subdued affair from days of old. Mind you it sounds like your painting the town red is on my wave length - not sure about the veggie oxo x
Theresa W - my feet have been truly up today. They may have to take me into the kitchen shortly to get some more banoffee crumble. Yum x
Elaine - glad to hear Andrew seems to be on the mend albeit slowly. Hugs x
Tina - hope Mick is OK. Hugs to you both x
Tracy - sending you love and comforting hugs x
Lorraine - glad you had a fab weekend. Nice to 'see' you x
Wheely - how you doing hun? Hugs x
Better go and phone my partner in crime. She'll probably moan because I didn't phone at 8 on the dot but I think making her wait keeps her in her place, lol x
Sending love and happy thoughts to everyone x
Only another 5 more sleeps til Sue is with us again x

Sue this is a very beautiful card, i love the that gorgeous frame
around the sentiment and so pleased you have reminded that these dies
can be used as frames.
Hi Sue. Beautiful card. X
Beautiful card Sue. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Hi Sue
Wonderful card, another reminder to me then when I do get around to make something I don't need to throw the whole craft room at it! Then after all the crafty withdrawal who'd blame me (chuckle). I hope all is well for you xxx
Hope those who did Doncaster had a great time buying lovely things :)
Elaine and Andrew, Nanna Tina and Mick, Tracy and family- thinking of you all with big hugs xxx
Steph, hope you're breathing easier, a big but not constricting hug xxx
Lorraine F, hope you had a great time at Pride, hope it doesn't give you a bad flare up x big hugs xxx
Pat L, Theresa W, Yvonne, thank you, big hugs back at you and a special one for Pat to pass on to Sarah for me xxx
Bejay- gently rub the bubbles toward the edge of the screen protector, they do then disperse with use- they are pretty inevitable I'm afraid. My big problem is getting protector on with no dog hair under, I have to have the craft room or bath room hoovered as they are the places Billy isn't supposed to go (note the word supposed in that sentance!). They are annoying but do not affect the use of the Phone. Hope that helps, big hugs xxx
Sending big hugs to Laine, P, Maria, Fluffycat, Marg and Lynda xxx Billy sends puppy love and paw hugs to Lynda and all his other fans xxx
Between bed days for back and migraines having prolonged stay I not been up to much, counting hours my head doesn't feel like it's been blown up like a balloon! Haven't read back weekend comments as migraine has reduced rather than leave but I will catch up when possible. Mr didn't get job he went for but he'll keep looking and exploring options of working PT and being here more for me especially as social services seem to have forgotten I exist, call to them on my list for tomorrow, in dark room if need be! Enjoyed weekend sport results too. Louis and Andy... well done boys! Plus GB smashed it in wheelchair tennis which bodes well for Paralympics. Even enjoyed Portugal winning the Euros. They lost star player to injury yet dug in and beat a team who are better on paper. These smaller countries with few stars but great work ethic and strong team spirit are admirable and inspiring especially to a lot of kids. What a great example to them- stick together and always try your best. (Sorry, coach head on there, you can take sport away from me, but not out of me lol)
Well, I've rambled on too long, need to turn out light and go to sleep! Sending a big hug and happy thoughts to Sue and to Wilsonettes everywhere, I'll be back soon as I can.

Love how the purple makes the design of the die pop. Another beautiful card Sue. Thanks again for sharing your inspirations.
