You're Special To Me

Hello there my crafty friends!  You had a quick glimpse of this one during one of the blog die launches, but I thought it deserves it's own day on the blog!  You will have to imagine a pretty lavender sort of colour here though, because try as I might, the wisteria card always looks grey when I photograph it!  I do apologise as I know it is the photographer (aka me!) as I just can't get the light right with this colour!   I selected a piece of wisteria card and embossed it with the Butterfly Dreams embossing folder.  I used the centre of the Madeleine die set to create a round frame with detail for my sentiment.  I attached it in the centre of the card with foam.  I cut four of the Starflower Cluster in black and cut the matching flowers in white and attached them behind.  I added mounting foam to all of them and arranged them around the centre sentiment.  I did some further matting with white, black and wisteria to complete the card. and added pearls to all the corners and flowers as accents.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  8. Dear Sue and fellow admirers,

    Oh yes! This is so beautiful, it makes me weak in the knees. Well actually my whole body is sore from cleaning all night. Didn't gat anything installed because they discovered they'll need a bucket truck, and they don't know how far up the road they'll have to go to join hands with civilization.
    I hope everyone came through the storm in fine shape.
    Love,
    Donita

  11. Morning Sue. The sentiment is on its way straight back atcha ☺
    Firstly the butterfly folder is just so pretty, adorable in real life I love using it I really do.
    Today's card makes a real statement it almost 'shows' off and why not, I too think it needs it's day here, it needs all the compliments it deserves, as for the photographer, you're not alone, I find wisteria so hard to show its true beauty but I think most of us know what a delicate shade it is but for the newer crafters don't be put off by the stills lol believe us all when we suggest adding it to your stash you won't be disappointed that's for sure 😉
    Hope you are all prepared for a possible song and dance tomorrow Sue, and I look forward to seeing it lol.
    Sending hugs as usual. Happy Friday xxx

  34. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, lovely card today, I am rubbish at photographing my cards but it doesn't matter. When I looked at this it reminded me of 2 different things, a giant embellishment that crafters consortium make (I think their name is) the one with the lovely gems all around it, or a wrought iron gate with a crest on it. Amazing what goes through your imagination isn't it, but I really do like it and it certainly does deserve it's day on the blog.

    Looking forward to your Hochanda show tomorrow, you so inspire me and everyone who adore your work.

    Pam I didn't go out in the storm, watched it through window and on the news, terrible. Now this morning it is a lovely blue sky.

    Special hugs to everyone who needs them including the little babies who bring so much joy.

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

  51. Hi Sue,

    Very pretty card this morning - I love the Starflower Cluster, it's so dainty and works so well as a surround for your focal point...I know what you mean about the Wisteria showing up as grey but I find it works well if I add some pink somewhere in the overall design - that seems to bring out the warmth in that shade...

    Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow on Hochanda but why only the one show?...

  61. Very pretty card. I do like how you have used the starflower die In Such a different way; it just shows what a little imagination can achieve. Something I lack so keep the ideas coming!!!!!!

    Just a thought! Would photographing under a white craft light only make any difference to getting the colour? I will have to try, I think I have some wisteria card in my stash.

  70. Morning Sue and fellow crafters,

    A gorgeous card today Sue, wisteria is such a delicate colour and I can see it clearly. Jamie, No. 1 grandson, altered the colour pitch on my PC and now I can see shades that others can't so much better.

    Typing this whilst listening to Herman & the Hermits from the sixties on YouTube.
    Bright and cheerful music to start the day.

    Well Doris missed us out here in my little corner of Somerset. Was quite windy all morning so washing out on the line and got it all dried to air off inside. Late afternoon the wind changed to very gusty, no damage done this morning upon opening the blinds so I think we got off quite lightly compared to other parts of the country. The poor lady in Wolverhampton's family must be devastated to lose her in such a violent manner. Condolences to any of the family that follow you Sue.

    Gurt big hugs to all in need of one. I hope your day becomes kinder to you.

    Love 7 hugs

  71. Hi Sue
    What a beautiful card today, such pretty dies and of course a lovely coloured card. This colour is always sold out in the local craft shop so must be popular! Have you tried using a light wave to add light when you take photoes? They are a great piece of kit. Hope you have fun on the tv.

  85. Hi Sue and everyone

    A lovely card. I remember this one from the launch and agree it definitely should have its own day on the blog. I love the wisteria colour, but it does look grey on my screen, but I think it looks nice in grey too. Sometimes grey is so underrated I think and can look really classy.

    Looking forward to your show on Hochanda Sue.

  91. To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
    Youve Done It Once Again You've Created A Spectacular Card I Love The Colour Palette
    I Love How You Use Your Creative Juices To Share Your "Masterpieces" With Us We Are
    All Extremely Lucky. Today's Card Is "Stupendous" And "Luxurious" Just Love It....
    I'm Completely Excited As I Have All The Products You've Used Today, But As
    "Rose In Chester" Mentioned I Would Never Have Thought Of Using "The Starflower Die"
    This Way, So Thank You So Very Much For The Inspiration.
    "Products Used Today":-
    "Black, Wisteria, Coconut White, Foundation Card"
    "The Butterfly Dreams Embossing Folder" Just Awesome
    "The Madeline Die" Very Beautiful
    "The Star Of The Show "The Starflower Cluster"
    "Pearls"
    "Today's Card"
    I'm Sending The Sentiment Right Back To You Its Perfect For Someone Like Your Self
    Also Like All Your "Tremendous Followers" I'm Thrilled You Decided To Share This "Remarkable Card" With
    Us On Your Blog.
    I Love The Exceptionally Beautiful Wisteria Card I Loved How You Started Your Card By Taking Your
    Wisteria Card And Placing It In Your "Butterfly Dreams Embossing Folder" Just Terrific Such Stunning Detail
    As With All Your Embossing Folder's.
    Then You Used The Centre Of "The Stunning Madeline Die" Cutting In Black, With This You Created An
    Awesome Frame To Surround Your Perfect Sentiment, You Then Placed This Into The Centre Of Your Embossed
    Background, Adding Mounting Foam For Height, You Then Cut Out "Four" Of "The Extremely Striking "Starflower Cluster"
    In Black, Which Is Perfect They Look Amazing Next To Your Wisteria Card, You Then Cut Out The Matching Flowers From
    "The Starflower Cluster" In Coconut White, And Then You Attached Them In The Area Made At the Back Where They
    Sit Just Perfect So When You See Them From The Front They Look Tremendous.
    Once Again You Added Mounting Foam To All The Flowers, And Then You Arranged Them Around Your Sentiment, So
    The Flowers Were Next To Your Sentiment, Leaving All The Beautiful Leaves, Curly Que's Standing Proud And Meeting
    The Edge Of Your Extremely Beautiful Embossed Background, You Then Added Pearls To The Centre Of Your Flowers And
    The Four Corners Of Your Exquisite Card, Adding Your Mat/Layering Of Black/White/Wisteria And Your Wonderful
    Signature Piercing, Fabulous Size "Seven Half By Seven And Half"
    What Can I Say That I Haven't Said So Many Times Before You're "Pure Genius"
    I Love Your Work "Your Blog Inspires Me Daily I Truly Appreciate Everything You Do "Thank You" So Very Much"
    Sue Take Great Care, I'm So Looking Forward To Seeing You Once Again On Hochanda
    Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather

  106. Hi Sue, the Starflower Cluster is a very pretty die and you have created a lovely card with it. I have some wisteria card, it is one of my favourites so I am able to imagine the true colours of your card. I have trouble photographing purple, it always comes out blue no matter what type of lighting I use so I don't blame the photographer, I blame the equipment!

  112. Hello Sue,

    What a pretty card this morning. Such a interesting way to use the Starflower Cluster, makes me wonder what a card would look like with the clusters facing the opposite direction and done with the Noble Circles. Might just have to try that myself. The Butterfly Embossing Folder is one of my favorites, it is both delicate and whimsical at the same time. Perfect combination.

    Have a wonderful day.

  114. Beautiful card, Sue, love your use of the starflower cluster. Feeling a need coming on!
    Sorry late, been a very long day. Not read comments but hope everyone's okay and not too battered by Doris. Was very windy here but thankfully no damage.
    Hugs.

  117. Hello Sue,
    Love your card, Sue! It certainly does deserve its own day on the blog! Great use of the dies! Love the strong contrast too. The wisteria card looks lavender to me, on my computer. Thanks for sharing.

    Elaine H – The surgery went well and the Kid is doing fine. This is his nick name not only because he is the youngest in our office but we adopted him. His family is thousands of miles away. His mom tried to come here but she couldn’t get her visa. I cannot imagine what she went thru all these months and it’s not over yet. So, we became his second family. Hugs to you, too.

    Laine – if you really didn’t comment on Wednesday just to give the rest of us a chance to win that beautiful card, all I can say is WOW! Then you are right, you are a kind person and you made me feel bad … no, let me rephrase it, you almost made me feel bad calling you a trouble maker. In the meantime, I did my homework by reading some old posts to figure out who the true Troublemaker Queen is! A difficult task I have to say, but Saba’s comment yesterday made it clear… dear Laine you won the title! It is what it is!

  118. Hello Sue,
    I'm a bit late today! It's been manic Friday again!
    Today's card is beautiful. Why didn't I think of doing that??? I don't actually have that actual Die but I have the daisy one which I love ! It's hard photographing cards! Sometimes after I've taken a photo I think the whole card is skew whiff - that's not straight to those overseas!! Lol!
    However , when I check the card is straight. - it's my photography!
    Oh Sue, I got the Lattice Frame Die set which goes with the Shadow Box Sets and I've made my husband's birthday card this afternoon! The frame makes all the difference in the world! Buy them ladies/ gentlemen , you won't regret it! I know it's what is called a " considered purchase " but it's well worth it! One of the window boxes ( with the tulips) from the latest release fits in the Shadow box! I'm chuffed - can you tell! Oh and the topiary tree - either one- fits too! My husband loves our garden! Your Dies are amazing as are you because the fact that these fit isn't an accident!!
    Carmen - so pleased you posted before me as I usually go back to see what you have said and then post on the wrong day!! Thank you for considering the Elderly!! Lol!
    Scottydog! - you are right someone had real riled Doris! She wreaked havoc in our garden! I'm just thankful the trees are still standing!
    Pam - thanks again for all you do!
    I'm sure I've forgotten lots but I'm sorry if it's anything important!
    Love to all lovely friends on the blog! Even the troublemakers PP and Lorraine!! Xx
    Love Myra xxx

  120. Hi Sue. A beautiful card and it should have its day on the blog. The black Star Cluster just makes everything pop. Hoping to see some more of your gorgeous cards from your new die release as some of them i am having trouble with trying to work out how you have made them or it could just be an age thing with me LOL. Have a great weekend everyone.
    Best Wishes.

    Just wondering Sue, do you ever use the small center dies in a different color to accentuate the flowers and leaves??
