Good Sunday Morning all! Duck egg blue and milk card for today's card. I embossed the milk card with the
Jacobean Floral embossing folder for texture. I inked over the top very lightly with
Antique Linen to bring out the pattern a bit more. Next I cut the
Mia die four times out of duck egg blue card and sort of interlocked them into a square configuration. I glued the ends into place and added mounting foam and attached them to the background. I cut the centre of the
Megan die and added it across the centre of the card and topped it with my stamped sentiment. I made one flower out of the solid die in the
Striped Nasturtium set and seated it on some
blue satin ribbon and spring foliage accents. I added a small blue flower to the sentiment. I had some pretty
cream pearl corners that I added as accents. Milk and duck egg blue mats and layers were used to complete the card. the finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size.

Happy Sunday Sue and all. Today's card is gorgeous, looks very elegant.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to comment game winners.
CreweTrish, you and Mum had a very sad last task to do for your brother, he is at peace now and in such a lovely setting, I hope you can take some comfort from that and know that you will have him in your hearts forever.
Tracy, you too have had your fair share of sadness and sorrow, you have done so well.
Elaine, hope you are doing okay too. How long are you going to be at SIL's and is it far away from your home.
Pat you must be delighted to have the family home, it seems such a while ago since they went.
P, do they have any idea where Pale Face has been, poor thing, at least she is home now and can be cared for. It seems Yeti is coming round slowly, very very slowly but surely.
Laine and Yvonne, hope you are both starting to feel better. Nancy D, haven't seen you for a while, hope you are okay.
Hugs to all, it looks like we are going to have another very hot sunny day following our recent very loud thunderstorms. Thinking if all missing and poorly friends, their carers too.
Really beautiful card today,loving the colours. Congratulations to all the winners.

What a gorgeous sample Sue. Happy Sunday morning to you craft queen. Duck egg blue - oh my word, my next love alongside blush,aqua,and milk, it's an absolute beauty and these two colours are a match made in heaven. I'm saying something now that may sound stupid, but some dies look absolutely wonderful cut in certain colour card, especially when you emboss them too which I do most times, and I think Mia was made for Duck Egg Blue, look how all that extravagant pattern shows up - wow, beautifully stunning Sue, thank you and I return the sentiment ☺
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations to our 3 lucky ladies, enjoy your gift and have fun with it.
Sending love to you this Sunday Sue xxx
It's not often I send messages back and forth here but as it's to do with a past sample and craft (kind of) I had the biggest smile, and a chuckle when I read 'Our Sam's' post about her shells collected from a beautiful beach taking off lol. That was the funniest and cutest comment ever, I could just imagin your face looking round for your missing shells. Those shells certainly didn't want to end up in a shaker card that's for sure !!!
DeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, lovely creation today, the duck egg blue card is so pretty.
ReplyDeletePam I reiterate all you have said above. hugs my friend
Congratulations to all the winners, you will enjoy your gift

Good morning Sue. Beautiful card, love how you've arranged the Mia into a square and the colours are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteEchoing Pam's comments, as everything is put so perfectly. Congratulations to all the winners too. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Dear Sue and Jolly Followers,
ReplyDeleteDid you know when you designed these dies that if you made a square of four Mia's, the ends of the wings of Megan would land in the circles? Once again, it looks inevitable.
Also, that tiny flower with the sentiment is inspired!
Congratulations to the winners!
Blessings on everyone,
Love,
Donita

Morning Sue, a pretty card, but I think you loose a lot of the beautiful design of the Mia Die using it this way, but I'm sure everybody else will love it as it is.
ReplyDeleteWendyx

A lacy concoction today, Sue, very pretty and clever use of the Mia die. See that yesterday's card drew the most mixed bag of comments ever, but for sure we all love to see what new ideas and techniques you bring every day.
ReplyDeletePam, Pale Face (being a rural feral originally) was either injured and laying up or just frightened and living off the land, so to speak. She is certainly too nervous to have sought other human help but must have thought home was a better option. Reading what you said yesterday about the collie and your little brother (nice story), many years ago we gave a second home to a collie - Lass - who had only ever lived in a town flat; but once she met our two Toggenburg goats, she too knew her real purpose in life!! Sadly Scarlet, Velvet and Lass now long gone.
Special thoughts for Crewe Trish, Tracy and Elaine.
Well done to the comment winners.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and what an interesting use of the Mia die, they don't always need cutting apart to make new shapes and I never tire of the Jacobean embossing folder, it's the perfect backdrop to so many of your cards.
Congratulations to this week's comment game winners!
Izzy
Fabulous card Sue. The duck egg blue really shows it to its best. I'm off to do the 'Race for Life' in a short while, so hope it stays a little cooler.

Hello Sue, what a gorgeous card, love the intricate design of the Mia die. Congratulations to all the comment game winners. Bx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, sorry for not commenting about yesterday's card. I had a quick look but a family crisis, which had been looming, reared its ugly head and we were needed. However I loved Saturday's card.
ReplyDeleteI haven't got your Mia die but you have shared some lovely samples including today's so, once I have finished getting your Christmas ones I will have to move it further up my list. Duck egg blue and cream are a lovely combination.
Congrats to the 3 winners. Hugs xx P Austen

ReplyDeleteI'd love to see this one I the flesh My screen is making the blue look very dark and so I think that's spoiling the effect today Sorry

Pam, SIL Mary lives only 15mins away by car , she has her op tomorrow and of course is very frightened { i think when living on your own the brain works overtime especially at nigh time } and you think all morbid thoughts .Mary has 3 daughters who keep popping in so she has plenty of company , one of them taking her to the Hospital in Manchester tomorrow . I will be glad when it is all over for her and she is back home , it will be no problem for us to visit her every day then if need be .
I hope you are well and the twins are doing ok , i echo you again today .xx

Hi Sue. Not too sure about today's card, but I can't put my finger on why, which isn't helping much is it? The die is beautiful and the colours are great, but I think for me there is too much of the blue which I think could be overcome by making the central panel much larger. Sorry to be the odd one out - everyone else seems to love it though.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Hi Sue, lovely card, very elegant, love the way you have used the die, very inspiring xx Carol
ReplyDeleteA very pretty card Sue
