Good morning Sue and all. Beautiful card, love it. Such a true sentiment
Denise congratulations on your first grandchild, it is a wonderful feeling being a grandma or Nanna which ever you are.
Steph,such good news for Tina,Claire and Toby, hope all goes well for them.
Elaine, I hope Mary is feeling a little better, they do seem to discharge people very early these days.
June Horrocks, hope you are feeling better soon, poor you.
Crewe Trish glad you enjoyed your weekend.
You too Diane, bet you loved your surprise.
I don't have a problem with the flying pink pigs, it's seagulls round here. My car, windows and even the walls get bombed. Ugh.
You are right Trish, if they put me in the car park they would also move the cabinets out there too. Do I feel got at, not at all.
Daily hugs to all,especially our poorly and missing friends. Have a good day everyone.
Wow stunning card today Sue and those corners are awesome. Have a great day hugs zxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Love the dimension! Beautiful card!
Morning Sue.
Wow a beautiful card, a very pretty colour.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Good Morning Sue
Beautiful card today.I have this die I just love it.

Hello Sue, what a lovely card, the daisy die is beautiful, and so are the corner dies. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Dear Sue,
The corners in dusty rose just don't work for me. Maybe they would have worked better in white on white. Or a lighter or darker pink. We can't all be wild about all of them. Never knew you could color glitter with markers.
How can it be Monday again?
Love,
Donita
Great card Sue.
Morning Sue. Another glorious start to the day, a beautiful sample alongside a beautiful sunny morning. I do love using the Daisy Circle, it makes such a pretty statement whether used as an apature or as a main focal, put together with these dainty corners, well it's a pure winner. Off seal and puffin watching today on a katamaran to the Farne Isles, a treat from my man as he's made this journey himself some years ago. Gloves and hat at the ready and a friendly chat with the Captain yesterday means should I get too cold on the journey they will allow me to warm up in the wheel house ☺ which is so kind of them. Just hope I don't get fired at too much by the nesting birds - hence the hat (anyone that has ever watched a program on the Farne Isles will know what I'm babbling on about) !!
So I will send you my daily love n hugs and hope you have a lovely day xxx
Really beautiful card today.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a lovely card today, soft rose pink is such a nice colour to use for this sort of card and I like the corners, I agree with Donita that I would try white corners which would work better for me.
Pam reiterate all you have said, sounds like everyone had a good weekend, wish I could have got up to Doncaster it was a great Create it show.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Help Sue and all
pretty card and thank you for the idea of colouring glitter with distress inks- something I probably would never have tried.
Hugs
Muriel x
Good morning Sue. Lovely card. I really like the inset focal point but I'm another who would prefer a white rose corner.
Pam, I know about the seagulls too, if only visitors would stop feeding them! Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Good morning Sue
What a pretty card! I love daisy and corner dies! Thanks for sharing about colouring the glitter I've never thought of doing that.
Hugs x
Heather T
Morning Sue
Lovely card, and I love the colours. I too will have to try colouring over glitter
Pat x
Morning Sue,
Do I love this card?......Yes indeed I do, yet personally I would be inclined to use white on white for the corners. The soft rose is such a strong colour in your photo.
Never thought you could colour the glitter with inks. Oooh, that could be a disaster for all designers of coloured glitters if we all bought white or clear then inked it ourselves.
Hmmm, thought provoking.
Gentle hugs and healing prayers to all in distress, pain & discomfort. May your day become kinder to you.
Love 7 hugs

Hi Sue - I really like the dusky rose card you have used and the way you have used the daisy circle. Very unusual to see such tiny flowers but that was all that was needed on this card. Thank you for yet more ideas. Best wishes

Hi Sue,
Love that Daisy Circle die, it's gorgeous and incredible how much detail there is in the embossed Rose Spray corner dies, they would work even cut out of very dark colours.

Love the central part of this card but, like others, am not keen on the corners.
Anne (Northampton)
Morning Sue. This is a beautiful, girlie card. I must get my hands on those Rose corners they are stunning so delicate. All my christmas goodies arrived on Saterday and they are all beautiful dies. I think there is only 3 sets for me to get then i have all of your new christmas release collection. I would just like to say a Big Thank You to Pam & Nattyboots and any one i missed for all the Good Wishes for our new Grandson. He was born on Sat 8th at 6.27am with big brown eyes, loads of black hair and they have named him MAX. He is gorgeous and the light of my life. Thank You once again.

Hi Sue,
Lovely card - must get those rose corner dies.
Recessing the focal point into the aperture is so effective, I must do it more often - always forget!
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue, I still haven't tried this technique with the aperture yet but the effective is really lovely. A gorgeous card.
Lots of love from Patricia xx

Hi Sue
What a pretty card again today, I have to say I had nor appreciated the rose corners until you showed them last week, seeing them close up they are really delicate aren't they and finish off a card beautifully. Love the glitter too, a very special card. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam echoing your comments today, yes it was a lovely suprise to come home to. We often used to say we could sit at our desks stark naked and as long as the work was done no one would notice! I hope they provide you with a brolly if you end up in the car park! 😀Xxx
Denise congratulations on becoming a grandma to max, how exciting. Xxx
Rosemary sending you hugs xxx
Sharon I hope the op goes well xxx
Hi Sue, this lovely sunny day,
A lovely card, beautiful in Pink too. So pretty.
I am just in the process of doing an aperture card too with the Porto Die, I hope it turns out fine. I finally managed to purchase the Striped Nasturnium Die , so hard to find. Hoping this will finish the card off nicely.
Hugs to everyone.
Thank you for the inspiration Sue.

Pat
Hello Sue,
As soon as I saw your card today I thought "Pretty in Pink"!!
Pam, it would be quite nice working in the car park today - but not in bad weather!!
Steph, enjoy the Farne's, at least you have a good day for it although the water may be a bit choppy. A hat is definitely a good idea!
Pat L, I can't believe that. They certainly seem to muck up their appointments.
Sharon, hope the op goes well.
Rosemary, sorry to read about your uncle.
Laine and Yvonne, missing you.
love to all
Maureen xx
Lovely card! I love the depth from the layering! The hints of shadows really brings this card to life! TFS!
Hi Sue, beautiful card today, love the dusty rose.
Lori from Canada
Hi Sue,
Not too sure on this one , sorry. I think it's the rose corners in the pink. To me they are too heavy for the card. As others have said, White on white would be better for me anyway. Love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
Delightful and oh so pretty!
Hi Sue,

A beautiful card!
Today was our last day of After School Club! I'm on my hols!! The children are lovely but I need a break! A lot of your Dies and ideas are used by me with the children. The Easter Baskets were a big hit! I've been cutting out lots of leaves ready for Autumn! Your leaves Dies are gorgeous too!

Beautiful card Sue and I love the Rose corners and the beautiful colour pink. Thank you for sharing this. Echoing Pam's comments today.
Hi Sue,
I cannot decide what I love the most … the aperture (never tried this technique. It’s a must try because it’s so effective), the colored glitter (I didn’t know you can color it) or the Rose spray corners. If you used them separate will create lovely details, but together create this beautiful card. Love it. Thank you for sharing. There's always something to learn from you.
Pam – Glad to see you can still smile about your work situation. You are a tough lady. :)
Elaine - I hope Mary is feeling a little better. Hugs to you all.
Rosemary - Sorry to read about your uncle.
Sharon – Hope everything went well at the hospital.
The two Princesses – Hope you are feeling better.
Hugs to all.
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only Canadian Wilsonette

Hi Sue, love the colour and composition of this card. Its beautiful x
Another beautiful card Sue. Sorry I missed commentating a few times this last week but as I previously posted, my Daughter and her spouse were over from Wisconsin for a couple of weeks. They left at 4.30 a.m. today and I will miss them a lot.
I am having a surgical procedure tomorrow so probably won't be commenting or even looking.
Best wishes to all.
Love, Marie
