Hi bloggers! A pretty petticoat card for today's offering. I started by cutting the decorative outer dies from the
Bern set into a piece of
wisteria card and used the very centre from the
Geneva set. I backed the very centre with white then I backed the entire edge part of the cut out with a piece of sort of aubergine card (from my stash). I used the
Swiss Border and cut it three times out of
coconut white card. I backed two of them with
wisteria and one with the same aubergine card. I glued them to the lower portion of the card in alternating colours and added a pearl strip across the top border section. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the oval from the
Geneva set and mounted it in the centre on foam. I added some
decorative pearl corners to the top and some
flatback pearls on to the die cuts as accents. I completed the card with white, wisteria and aubergine mats. The finished sizes is 7 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Lovely to have you back at no.1 Pam, glad you enjoyed your holiday. P.Pixie, ouch to your thumb and your striplet! Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Morning Sue, hope you had an enjoyable weekend. Lottie's card now finished, a CAS first birthday card but your stitched animals made it into something cute thank you. It's a shame that mummy & daddy prefer clean under-estimated stationary and cards cuz I really could have gone to town on it lol. It was very very fiddly with my stupid fingers to put her name on it, and that took longer to do than the rest of the card lol but it's done now in plenty of time.
Today's card is gorgeous. I adore the look of fancy frilly lace on the bottom, it all ties in so beautifully and the two colour's were made for this design.
Pam, hope you were able to relax while you were away and that it didn't prove to emotional for you. Welcome home and welcome to back to your regular position xx.
Sending hugs to you dear Sue and have a good day xx
Good morning Sue.
Such a beautiful with lovely delicate colours. I love it.
Hope you are well. Take care. Xxx

Lovely card, Sue, pretty colours and always like a lacy petticoat (not though in real life - who wears petticoats now?!) Lovely effect.
First - PAM, good to see you back on top, pleased the holiday went well.
Helen, what a disaster, hope you're much better now - don't know about the PP saying you are a liability when she is the grand destroyer of a sacred die. With blood.
Forgot to say well done to the comment winners yesterday.
Nanna Tina - hope Mick and YOU okay?

Morning Sue, A very pretty 'petticoat' card, beautiful die-cuts and lovely colourway.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Beautiful!
Love the border design on the lower part of your card :))
Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
The petticoat effect is so pretty as it reminds me of Mum making me sticky out petticoats for my dresses, as i loved that style of dress when i was young, but it wasn't out or in fashion because like the song i was born too late. The colours that you have used go so nicely together flower and just look oh so girlie and just for a change i can make this lovely piece up too, lol. Thank you flower for giving us such a pretty piece of inspiration this morning and i hope that you have a lovely day.
Hugs to all my poor Wilsonette friends that are suffering just now, i can only hope that today at least you have a better day,
love and crafty hugs

Oh Sue, such a pretty card today, it was like stepping back into the blog 4 years ago! 'petticoat' cards have always been my favourite style of your cards and this one is no exception, you have made the look work with so many different dies over the years. I may treat myself to those colours of foundation card, they work so perfectly together.
Loved your shows at the weekend, I ended up ordering a few bits, can't wait for them to arrive now, I will then make a start on my Christmas cards!

Lynda. I'm doing well ma wee pal. Got Drs next week so I'm guessing it won't be long till I'm back at work. And back to a semi normal routine again.
P. Pixie OMG u destroyed a striplet???? I'm glad I have a manual machine and not an electric if that's the damage it can cause.
Ur poor finger tho :-(. Special hugs xx
My treat cups arrived today along with the Snow White micro beads. I'll have to be sparing with them I thought the tub would've been a little bigger. Ah well I'll use sues tip and add in a scoop of the glitter. I'll need to get some of those wee spoons guess I'll need to go buy some tubs of ice cream to get them yuuuuummmyy lol xx any excuse!!
Lots of love to all and hugs too xxx

The Swiss border is just Soooo beautiful in real life and the Bern die set is fab !!! I do like those little pearl flower corners. I think they are really pretty.

Hi Sue and everyone.
Wonderful card Sue, love the colours so will try to find
some around. Wish you made some more mixed packs with
colours that goes together because I'm not very good at
such thing and it would be very helpful.
Welcome home Pam and back where you belong :) Glad you had
a nice holiday x
Sorry, can't remember who was asking from Germany about
your products to be sent abroad. I think that Joanna Sheen
is sending to other country's. Hope you can get some dies
and stamps soon.x
Yvonne/ PP- hope your finger is ok and the machine is still
in working condition. Big hug x
Laine- hope you are alright, sending you gentle hugs x
Elaine, sending you hugs and hope Andrew is fine x

As for the sentiment - right back at you! Thanks so much for your daily inspiration and sharing with us mere mortals x
I have had an e mail confirmation to say that my ODS has been dispatched. Sooo excited. Maybe it will help console thd sadness I am feeling for the loss of my beloved poinsettia Striplet. My finger is really sore but it will heel but I can't mend my Striplet!! Or my heart! Lol x
Pam - you're back with us right where you belong! Glad you got back in time to see the twins x
Tina T - I hope Peter has a better night x
Elaine - I hope Andrew had a better day today x
Laine - where are you hun. Are we on for our usual Tuesday evening chat?

Hello Sue,
It's me, late again! Been one of those days!
I love your petticoat cards and this one is no exception! Thank you! Still got one Show to watch! Missed John tonight too!
Pam - so pleased you are safely home !
Love to all! Myra xxx
Pretty , delicate card in lovely soft colours Sue, thanks for sharing.
I really, really enjoyed your latest shows Sue, such beautiful demos and samples. Of course I am biased as you used the poinsettias and holly gemini a lot so giving me more ways of using it. I will try to remember to send you photos of what I am doing with mine as they are very different again. Oh and the hand embossing tip was pure genius thank you :)
So sorry my friends but I have still not caught up with everyone's news. I am finding it hard to keep up with things, a combination of the fibromyalgia and copious meds I think. I have been doing crafting so that's probably used up my few brain cells.
Sending love n hugs to you all including absent friends xxx
Beautiful card Sue. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Sue and everyone. Really lovely card. Great colours and love the petticoat effect. The Swiss collection really is gorgeous.
Thank you to everyone who has sent me well wishes lately, sorry I am too tired to check the names in case I miss anyone, sorry if I already have. Feeling a lot better, but still bruised.
P Pixie, oh no, how terrible. Glad the ebosser seems ok. That's what I use. Think they must be quite robust... you know how clumsy I am!
Poor little striplet though. So sorry for your loss x. Seems Sues poinsettias can have vicious side, you almost sliced your finger off on your striplet and I stuck the point of one right under my fingernail! They look so beautiful as well. Watch out folks...
Hope you feel better soon. X thanks for the special mention by name too( hope it is me) made me smile. x
Welcome home Pam. Good to see you at the top again. X
Sorry, need to sleep now.
Love Helen xxx
Remarkable card Sue. Love your color choices!! Love the use of the dies as well as just portions of the dies.
Hi Sue,
