Hi crafters! Better late than never! LOL I just found this one with a Mother's Day sentiment, but imagine it with a happy birthday or even a get well sentiment! I just couldn't let it go without a blog appearance, now could I! LOL I started by creating a letterpressed background. I inked up the
Art Deco Shells embossing folder with
Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink and placed a piece of milk card inside the folder. The ink was then transferred onto the floor of the design on to the card as it passed through the die cutting machine. Next I cut the
Springtime Frame and used small smoothies to ink the die cut. I used
Vintage Photo, Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks. I added
small pearls to the flowers too. I cut the backing piece out of
milk card and added the frame to the centre of the background with mounting foam. I cut the sentiment that comes with the frame and inked it to match using
Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide and glued it to the centre of the frame. I tied a messy bow with cream satin ribbon, adding a pearl to the knot and added it to the side of the frame. Milk mats and layers were used to complete the card, The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
Thank you, a very pretty card for all occasions.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Such lovely colour!
Morning Sue, a very pretty Spring time card, the use of the distress inks to colour, really gives you a vast palette. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Good Morning Sue. Beautiful card this morning Sue. And as you said in your comment... it would be suitable for any occasion. I love the colours you have chosen also. Sending best wishes to everyone this morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Hi Sue. It's been donkeys years since I had a bash at letters pressing and it went part shaped so never tried again, I was really new to crafting so I can be excused, but now I'm not so new and got the best tutor ever it's time to buy some oxides, wait for my new folders to arrive at the shop then have another bash, if it works as beautifully as this I'll be chuffed. Wasn't so sure when it first loaded, thought the worn lipstick over took the colours in frame, but it really is pretty Sue. If there are any French mum's looking in have a lovely mother's day.
Sue - Hope your day is as bright and cheerful as this unusual beautiful weather we're experiencing in Lancashire lol xxx
Hi Sue, Lovely card, very pretty.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a stunning card today, I love the embossing folder, it goes so well with this sample.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue,
Absolutely stunning card today which would make a fabulous framed gift without any sentiment on it. One which I am sure would be truly treasured. Yvonne xx
Good Morning Sue
i hope you are bright eyed and bushy tailed or will be so later today :)
A lovely card and sentiments can be changed. The colours are lovely. Like others I am getting to really like the Oxides and their rich velvety texture.
Have a great day Sue

GM Sue. Very lovely.
Wow, that background is amazing! I thought it was a new die when I first looked, it really works so well, not something I normally do. Thank you Sue for reminding us of this technique.
Hi Sue this is a stunning card it is just so pretty. I love those dies and the colours are amazing. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
A lovely card
What a glorious splash of colour, Sue.

Lovely card Sue I tried letter pressing for the first time a couple of weeks ago and by using Distress Oxides made it so easy I am totally in love with this technique
Hi SUE
This card is very very pretty and I can make use of some of ur ideas thank you
JOY Xx
Hi Sue,
I have the Springtime Frame and it works just as beautifully cut as a silhouette too as well as this more colourful version you've shown us today - and I'm definitely going to invest in some more Distress Oxides if they work so well for letterpressing, like Stephanie I gave up trying with ordinary water-based inkpads...
PP - Yes!...Brian Mulrooney - that kid's going to be famous for the rest of his life isn't he...I think he suddenly caught sight of the interior of the chapel with all those people and floral decorations and it blew his mind but he and his twin carried on regardless displaying that lovely train to perfection - what a pair of little troupers!

Wow what a beautiful card, love the lovely colours used.

Oh, so pretty!
After reading your whole recipe, I went back to learn the name of that lovely pink card stock. Duh! It's white card stock! With worn lipstick distress oxide! Well within reach!
Could somebody please tell what mil card is? Is there a unsaid number that's implied?
Thank you. And the card is such a gift to all of us.
Many more thank you'd!
Best,
Donita
Hi Sue, Very pretty card . love Jean Z xxxx
Hi Sue,

This card shouts Spring! xxx
Morning Sue, very cute card! Love Jean xxx
Hi Sue, I'm so pleased that you posted this card, I love it. The letterpressed Art Deco Shells embossing folder is gorgeous and you know the Springtime Frame is one of my most favourite of your dies. This really is a Spring into Summer card but with a change of colours it would do just as well for Autumn or even Winter with the bird made into a robin and the butterflies snipped off.

Hi Sue, This Card would certainly put a smile on any mother’s face, it so bright and cheerful. Love it, Hugs Brenda xxx

Hello Sue.
I think this is so pretty, great colours and lovely background. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Hi Sue,
Such a lovely card, fit for the best mum in the world. I love that frame, by the time I get round to doing it it might have to be an autumn theme. But will be equally lovely then.
I love, love, love the letterpressing, it is so effective. Thank you for sharing.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue, lovely letterpress work. I do like your frame dies especially the Spring/Summwer one. Hugs xx Pauline
Hi Sue. Such a pretty card today, love the colours. I love the way you can do so many things with this die to create completely different looks.
Lisbeth
A real work of art, just beautiful!
Hi Sue, a beautiful card. Suitable for lots of different occasions. I love how you have added colour to the frame and background.
Hi Sue and everyone.
A gorgeous card Sue, I must get hold of that die somehow.
Maybe I should hint it to my son for my B-day Lol
Hugs to all and I hope our missing friends are ok. I miss
reading about your day and support for all

such a shame to have missed this beauty.
Pretty (though just a wee bit fussy for my taste) 😉
Fantastic card sue could put any sentiment on this card fabulous. Laura O Springfield
Beautiful card Sue. A good all rounder. Xx
What a lovely bright card today with a beautiful background! Love the Springtime Frame, that why it is on its way! I love your letter pressed background but like others I've never had any success with this technique. I have to try it again, this time using Distress Oxides; hopefully I will get a better result.
Hugs from Toronto to you all and special hugs to all missing friends.
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only across the pond Wilsonette

Very pretty card Sue, even though pink is not my thing. Love the Springtime Frame and all that you can do with it. Thanks for the great inspiration!
Lovely spring-time card. The embossing folder is so pretty in pink. I don't have any of the Distress Oxides (yet).
Take care everyone.
