Good Sunday morning all! Today's card is a really quick make (in case you might need one!). I started by cutting the
Diamond Squares Background out of
coconut white card. I backed it with
Purple Heather card. I cut a single white frame using the
Stitched Pegboard Squares and added it with foam over my background. Next I cut the
Flora die out of white and inked the edges with
Gentle Lavender Chalk Cloud. I added it to the centre of the frame with foam. I cut the
Miss You mini expression out of Heather card and seated it on a circle cut from the
Double Pierced Noble Circles and added a thin frame around it using the
B set of the circles. White and Heather card mats and layers were added to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size.
The winners of the weekly Comment Game are:
Nina Spear!!!
Hollyberry!!!
Jan on the Fosse!!!

Such a pretty card today. It maybe a simple card to make but it certainly looks anything but simple.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue

Thank you so much.

WOW stunning card today Sue and what I love is the fact that apart from the background die I have the others to recreate this beautiful missive. What I dont have is the time at the moment as I have to work. I have to work to pay for my craft habit, its a vicious circle and one day I will retire. Then maybe I will have time to play with my accumulated stash, ha ha . Have a great day Sue, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. A very pretty, feminine card- love the gentleness of the lilac. Congratulations to all the winners today. Sue xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sue.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue. Beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteMy condolences to Elaine and her family on losing Andrew. He was a very brave man xx
Lovely card, Sue. I particularly like the background.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all the Wilsonettes
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card today love the die and the pop of colour really sets it of and I love the Embossing folder going to order that one.
Sending love and healing hugs to all that need them xx
Have a good day all and enjoy the sun

You know how kittens are so soft, there's almost nothing to them? And the finest cake can be so light, it melts on your tongue? This card is like that. Soft and delicate and it melts on the eyes. I like the barely visible color behind the background and the touch of color on the edge of the flowers.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the comment game winners! (I wonder if hollyberry noticed that she's one of the winners.)
Enjoy your Sunday.
Best to all,
Donita
Wow both stunning and adorable. I loved yesterdays card but think this is even prettier. You amaze me Sue.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend, now the sun has finally decided to shine in the UK.
Hugs to you Sue and to everyone else who needs or wants one.

Morning Sue. Quite an appropriate sample this morning after reading the sad news given to us by June yesterday, thinking of Elaine and all family members in Andrew's life, take care.
ReplyDeleteCan't even imagin how thrilled and special I'd feel if I had something as gorgeous as this come through my letterbox, it may look simple but it's just so pretty and delicate. I must invest in some of the new Foundation card especially this purple heather I need the new folders too, must get back into the crafting mindset soon !
Many congratulations to all 3 winning comment winners enjoy your gift.
Sunny happy hugs winging their way to you this Sunday Sue xxx

Hi Sue - this card is so so pretty and the Flora die is one of my favourites. It certainly doesn’t look at all like a quickly made card, it’s very impressive. Congratulations to the three lucky winners today, sending best wishes Sue

ReplyDeleteNot sure I could send that sentiment to anyone but love the card. The background die is lovely and The flora die is one of my favourites. Thank you Sue, enjoy the good weather. Xxx
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteSuch a delicate shade the Heather card is and makes this card perfect.
Congratulations to the winners!!!
I just have to say how lovely it was few weeks ago when I tentativley glanced at the first few comments to find that they had returned to just happy crafting comments again as Sue had intended when she started the blog for us many years ago now.
Sue's blog is a place to escape the problems and traumas that we all have in our lives and enjoy her amazing creativity and our love of crafting.
Sadly Sue lost many many followers over comments that were left in recent years and was she saddened when the number of posts plummeted from several hundred down to under a hundred and I, one of the followers from the early days, stopped reading the comments too!
I have really enjoyed the recent weeks, reading all your happy comments and thoughts on the cards and crafting. I am hoping for Sue that the followers of the past like myself will slowly discover that the blog has returned to how it was, and was intended and will start to comment again and put a smile on Sue's face as she sees those comment numbers rocket again. Let's spread the word!
Enjoy your crafting this weekend everyone I hope the sun shines on you all and inspires you to great things.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card and yes, quick to make up too once you have all the dies and with a change of colour and sentiment could be used for any occasion - a very useful template to save for those last-minute cards we all have to make sometimes...

Hi Sue. Love this card. I haven't got the background die as I couldn't make my mind up at the time, but I wish I would have got it now, another one to add to the ever increasing list. I should be able to make something similar though as I have the other dies. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
So beautiful card and love that floral frame!!

A lovely card. Must try and get the diamond squares background as it is so pretty and you don't need a lot else on your card.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the 3 winners.

If this is a simple card, bring it on! The diamond squares background is lovely. I didn't think that I would use it much when I saw it during the launch, but how wrong can one be?
ReplyDeleteThe Flora die is so pretty.
Congratulations to the 3 winners. Enjoy your prize. Hugs xx Pauline

I don't know how quick it would be in my hands but it surely is a beautiful card. Really hard to make a really bad card as Sue Wilson dies are too pretty and will carry you through.
ReplyDeleteI have to finish up some cards for a swap tonight so a bit of crafting today. I can't imagine what the gals would do if I turned up with something like this card! I will be using a few SW dies for my project, of course!
Have a wonderful day, ladies and I know 3 lucky ones who are already having one,
