Hi bloggers! How about a card for the giveaway today with a pretty vellum obscured background? I started by cutting six of the
Pacific Ocean Borders in
Papyrus card. I backed all of them with black. I attached them to a piece of
coconut white card in three rows of two, with the flat edges together. The plain vellum was then cut to size and attached with
Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear glue in the corners. For the focal element, I cut the
Bora Bora die in white and backed it with
Papyrus card. I cut another Bora Bora in black and cut it in half and used it as a drop shadow on either side of the dies. I cut a centre out of black card using the smaller die in the set and then layered up my stamped sentiment with a papyrus mat under it. I cut a
Striped Nasturtium out of papyrus card and added the striped die over the top cut in black. I seated it on a bow tied from
Black seam binding and added two swirls as accents that were cut from the
Beaded Starflower die set. Black, white and papyrus card mats were added to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size. Leave a comment if you would like a chance to win this card. The winner will be announced on Feb. 2nd as we will be having a blog launch for the new dies which starts Thursday morning for a week! I hope you are excited as I am! All for now, Sue x

Beautiful card Sue, lovely for the giveaway, whoever the lucky winner is will love it. Hooray for the new launch, can't wait.
ReplyDeleteTina, I hope yesterday was not too traumatic for you. It is hard when it is the birthday of a lost one but even harder when their physical presence is still there. I thought about you all day, comforting hugs to you and Owen, dear friend.
Elaine, hope all is well with you and Andrew, take care in this cold weather.
Norah you are right, I am a Civil Servant, and they are horrendous with sick policy, everyone comes to work ill to avoid confrontation and then everyone else comes down with the illness. Whatever happened to Employer Duty of Care.
Laine good to see you back, so sorry you have been so unwell. We did miss you. Hope Yvonne and parents are okay.
Heather hope your friend came through her pacemaker op okay.
June thank you for lovely comments, hope all is now well with the knee.
Hugs to all, especially missing friends, Wheeley, NannaTina, thinking of you
Good morning Sue what a beautiful card and I love the colours it's my usual

Loverly card today Sue like the colours xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful giveaway card today which would look lovely in a new home, good luck everyone. Yes, yes, yes I am so looking forward to the launch and seeing what you have been doing with the new dies and stamps, if only I was a rich women I could have all of them and play away until my hearts content.
ReplyDeleteTina and Owen, I thought of you also all day yesterday, hugs my friends.
Pam I was once offered a job in the Lords Chancellors office and turned it down because I saw the way people were treated and thought, that is not for me, so I went into IT banking in the city, loved every minute of it, and the company I worked for were fantastic, I remember once after some foot surgery I had, I was ready to go back to work and they paid for a taxi to take me to and from the office every day in order to avoid the crowds on the trains, these things you remember don't you. It looks very foggy outside so wrap up warm today.
Laine, yes we did miss you, so pleased that you are on the mend, missed all the banter too.
Yvonne have you found that charger yet??
Oh well best finish as got craft club today so need to get my bag ready, yes Sue we are doing one of your cards with the Dot Matrix embossing folder, (mine is on order).
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeletea truly elegant card. I just love it and the use of vellum is so clever.
Hugs, Rose
A very eyecatching card today and a perfect colour combination too. What a gorgeous sentiment this is too.
ReplyDeletePretty sentiment and details on this beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and Susanettes,
ReplyDeleteLove how you did that background! Wish I had that border set.
Also looking forward to the launch. The November one caught me by surprise, and it was rich and deep, but I did my peeking for this one and am eager to see what you make and how those kinetics work.
I hope everybody has an inexplicably good day Wednesday.
Love,
Donita
Loving that background Sue and what an unusual colour combination today! Very striking!
ReplyDeleteBig hug

A great card Sue I'm looking forward to seeing you cards using your new dies xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue. Usually when you really love a particular card you can pick the elements which make you smile or 'sing' or stand out, but I can't with today's card, everything about it makes me smile. The colour scheme is just beautiful and even though the way you photograph your samples highlights their beauty I bet today's pictures don't do it justice, it really is a beautiful card Sue. I use to be like you Jan and wait till launch to see the new collections until I was 'heckled' for want of a better word, I love surprises so it was something new to look forward to in what could be a mundane same as kind of day when you're unable to leave the house during the cold winter months, so it was kind of ignore the emails showing the pre-order pictures of the new collections, I'm really excited to see the really different samples and like your SB designs, I'm so excited to show off your new collection to those that visit market and those that like to order their 'special' family and friends cards from me. There is nothing wrong AT ALL Jan in waiting and enjoying the surprise of new Sue designs - enjoy x 😊
ReplyDeleteOn that note, my usual hug is on its way to you Sue and to say that launch day can't come quick enough is an under statement lol thank you for brightening up my dull January days I so love you for that xxx
Hi Sue, lovely card today. The colour combination is lovely and I love the effect of the vellum background.
ReplyDeleteBarbaravV
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely exquisite card today & I love the vellum. Your flowers are always outstanding. Yvonne xx
Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteFabulous background from that lovely border, love the vellum and the sentiment too. So true !!!
I am sure whoever wins this beautiful card will treasure it.
Lovely cooler change here today, we had some rain last night to break the heatwave, is only in the mid 20sC today.
Can't wait for the release, only wish I could be at the demos of the new dies, maybe another time, looking forward to the mystery of some of them, I am sure all will be revealed with some great samples.
hugs

Good morning Sue. The vellum on this card really softens the borders behind, it's lovely. Looking forward to your new launch, seeing pictures on packets is no substitute for seeing what you create.

Lovely card design but to be honest the colour scheme isn't my favourite. Debra x
ReplyDeleteGreat card for the giveaway, Sue, love the colours and whole design - really special. Would also like to see this without the vellum, too.
ReplyDeleteYes, also full of anticipation for the new launch, guess there will be lots of temptation.
Laine, good to see you back and did miss you - so sorry for the migraines/seizures. Thanks for hug, babes well, missing the banter with PP.
Special thoughts for the two Tinas and Elaine, also Sandy H who has not been well.

Fabulous card and I love the obscured background. Very unusual. The winner of this one will be very lucky. I'm very excited about the new launch. What I've seen so far looks very different.
ReplyDeletePam, I forgot to say yesterday, I took delivery of the sapphire on Monday and can't believe how strong the magnet is. The dies just jump onto it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Crafty hugs to all who are suffering, lonely or in need.
Happy crafting.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card today, I'm glad I read the first bit quite quickly as I thought my eyes had gone fuzzy until I read about the vellum overlay! I do love how it softens everything in the background but makes the focal point pop. I'm looking forward to the new die release but the few that have caught my eye will have to wait a while until the finances recover from Christmas!!
Love Diane G xxx
Tina thinking of you and sending hugs xxx
Pam keep yourself warm when out and about xxx
Hi Sue - what a wonderful card this is. I love the way you have used the vellum and it really works in softening the colours. I'm always amazed at how many ideas you come up with and can't wait to see what's in store for us with your new dies. Sending best wishes
ReplyDeleteYvonneMayxx
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteLove this morning's card. Love the muted look created by the vellum overlay.
Whoever the lucky winner will be, I am sure they will love it too.
Absence due to our forthcoming production of the panto Pinocchio by our village Pantomime Society. Pete was a founder member and I joined the following year after retiring from our darts and skittles teams. Although I played many parts in past productions I am mostly involved with the prompting these days and of course the costumes. So busy times still ahead as we open our first performance next month.
Gurt big squashy hugs to all in need of one or two today.
Pam, I have always loved a brandy and lovage (herb liquor) whenever a bad cold chest or infection has arisen. Really clears the bronchials as they say (plus it's tastes lovely too). Glad to read your bosses not giving you gyp.
Love & hugs
Cheryl xxx
Good Morning sue and all

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. How different it looks with the vellum. SueL x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, what a striking card, I don't have those dies but must try the vellum method as it really does give the card a soft effect. I spent yesterday catching up on all your blog posts for this year! I have picked up a few ideas! Gutted to have missed the orphans, but congratulations to Laine for giving them a good home! Can't wait to see your new dies & the inspiration you share for each die. Good to have something refreshing to look forward to with this miserable weather!

Wouahou!!!Fantastic card Sue! You are excellent on creating three-dimensional effect cards! Thank you very much for this beautiful inspired card. The Bora Bora die from your pacific collection is so versatile that it brings to any card a truly magnificent look. With love Isabelle Cimbali from Switzerland
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Sue, I love the effect given by using the vellum on the background. I need to stop using pastel colours as much as I do, I think I've only used black on a card once or twice!

Hi Sue, Love the card and colours, The vellum looks good. love Jean Z xxxx
ReplyDeleteI too thought my iPad picture was blurred until I read your notes about the use of vellum. What a difference its use makes! This is a technique I must try as I do like the results it brings. Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteApropos of nothing in particular. Has any one else noticed where the visitor list shows you are from when you first log in? For a while I have noticed that it shows me as a visitor from Poole which is a long way south of Northamptonshire. When I log in at the caravan in Wales it has shown me as a visitor from the east coast of the USA. Is Blogspot weird or what!!!! !
Teresa
Morning, Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunner! I love the muted effect you get just by laying vellum over the top of the background, a fabulous card indeed. Thanks for giving us all the chance to win it.

Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love the colour combination of today's card, it looks masculine at first glance, but the dies and embellishments pretty it up. I love the addition of the Vellum which really softens the background.

Hi Sue, what a good idea to obscure the background with vellum. It means that you can tie in the background to match the foreground without losing all the detail of the sentiment panel. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLovely card as always.
Can't wait for the launch of your new collection so I can see your beautiful samples.
Thank you for sharing.
Véronique L
Hi Sue, what a delightful sentiment and oh, so true. I love the bora bora die and the way in which you have softened the background with the vellum. Looking forward to seeing your new dies. Just hope that I can get onto the blog everyday.
ReplyDeleteIn answer to your querie regarding where you are in the world, the same thing happens to me. I always come up as living in or near Kleinmond in S Africa but whilst the latter is true (for the next 7 weeks), I am miles away from there. I blame the heat here as it must addle the iPads brains.
Keep warm everyone. Hugs P Austen x
Hi Sue, I love the contrast between the sharp colours of the foreground and the softly muted background, clever. I gave in and had a quick look at your new dies but will refrain from making any choices until I have seen them in action so to speak. You always manage to change my mind once I have seen your samples :-)
ReplyDeleteLaine - sorry you have been so unwell, I hope your babies were looking after you and not making unreasonable demands when all you want to do is sleep. Hope you are back to normal (?) very soon :-)

Hi Sue, a very elegant card. The velum over the background makes the decorative foreground standout. Looking forward to your new die releases tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteTo My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
ReplyDeleteLike Everyone I've Fallen In Love With "Today's Extremely Exquisite Elegant Card"
I Just Love The Tremendous Colour Palette It Works Extremely Well Together
"The Coconut White/The Fabulous Papyrus/Black Foundation Card" Beautiful Combination
I Love How You took "The Pacific Ocean Border" An Cut It Out Of The Papyrus Card And
Backed In Black Card, Then Adding "The Vellum" Which Creates Such A Delicate Softness To
Today's Masterpiece.
Cutting Out "The "Bora Bora" In Coconut White" Then Backing It With "The Papyrus Card" Cutting
The "Bora Bora" Once More This Time In "Black Card" Cutting This In Half And Placing Behind
"The Bora Bora" This Creating A Shadow Effect, Which Works Just Perfectly.
I Just Love "The Stupendous Focal Point Using Part Of Your "Bora Bora" Adding Your Sentiment"
May I Say The Sentiment Is Very Beautiful Indeed, To Finish You've Added One Of The Extremely Exquisite
"Striped Nasturtiums". Which Looks Outstanding In "The Papyrus, With The Black Stripes, Love The Swirls
And The Very Beautiful Bow.
I'm Extremely Looking Forward To Seeing All Your Astonishing New Cards You Will Make With Your
New Stupendous Dies...
I Must Hold My Hands Up Ive Already Pre-Ordered All "The New Stamps" Also Three New Dies,
"The New Antila Gemini Die" Is One Its Just So Very Elaborate, It Reminds Me Of Very Deep Lace.....
Sue Thank You For Sharing I Truly Appreciate It, Thank You For Being Extremely Kind Sharing Giveaway's
Each And Every Week And Always On Your Tremendous Launch Of New Dies....
Sue Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather

Hi Sue What a totally fabulous card. Vellum is so lovely and using it like this really softens the card. It's beautiful. Regards, Iris
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and everyone.
ReplyDeleteA striking card today. Very lovely. Have recently bought more vellum to use for flowers, but will now be using some for this technique too I think.
Sorry to hear you've not been well Laine, but pleased you're feeling better now.
So looking forward to the launch of the new dies Sue, to see what masterpieces you've created with them.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card and the vellum just adds another dimension to it! As someone else said I'd like to see it without the vellum too! Lovely choice of colours too.
I sorted all my Dies yesterday. I have rather more than I thought I did! Oops! Now you are tempting us with some more! They look very interesting and I'm so looking forward to seeing how you use them! Thank you for doing that.
Frances( fluffycat) - you made me smile with your use of the (?) in your post!
Laine - good to see you back and so sorry you've been having a tough time - very debilitating!! I'm so pleased you realise that you and I are the shy retiring ones. If we got together we 'd chat quietly in hushed tones!
PP - that Charger will be just exactly where you left it!!
Teressa - I just had to go and look - I was from Poole as well! I'm in Lancashire! I've noticed in the past I was from London, London - why twice I don't know - maybe trying to be like New York and Frank Sinatra!
To the two Tina's, Elaine and all the families - thinking of you!
Love Myra xx
Elegant and pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue another lovely card, I do like the way you have used the vellum to tone down the background. Looking forward to the launch of your new dies,but still have not caught up with the dies already on my wish list - I don't think I ever will
ReplyDeleteWendy x
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuumeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! What a scrumptious card! It reminds me of a yummy chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting!! So pretty! TFS!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue
ReplyDeleteI am not sure of the vellum overlay guess I will have to try it out so I can see it in real life. Really excited about tomorrows launch. Special hugs for the two Tina's. Elaine lovely to hear Andrew is tolerating his treatment, poor Helen a bad back is not good.
Hi Sue, lovely card this morning, unusual colors as well. Can't wait to see them done up in cards

Gosh what an amazing finish the vellum gives to something like this, not sure I have seen this before, but as always with you Sue, another amazing idea for me to use....A really super card in the end, one that would be amazing for a male birthday....the colours blend so well together....thank you Sue...luv Ursula xx

Hi Sue. WOW !!! What a beautiful Wednesday giveaway card !!! I have just finished a card using the Pacific borders and the Bora Bora dies to. I love how you have made the background with the Pacific border dies and i think it is a lovely idea to soften the the colours by using vellum over the top. It really makes the main focal element, the Bora Bora die set stand out. I do really like your colour combo to. Your Nasturtiums look fab on your card. A great finishing touch. Thank you for sharing todays beautiful card. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x

Very elegant card Sue. Love the look the vellum gives it.
ReplyDeleteLove the card Sue. Have the dies apart from the background one. Looking forward to seeing what you will do with the new dies. Thank you for all your hard work.
