Hello all! This is one of my favourite cards, so I hope you like it as much as I do! I started with the Garden Circle Scene die set and cut a blue circle backdrop. I used most of the accessory dies from the set to add grass, flowers, clouds and birds. I used the Wishing Mini Expression for the first part of my sentiment and cut it in brown and added it to the centre of the circle. Next I used the branch from the A Little Birdie Told me set. I cut it in tan and added green to the leaves using Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink. I used it upright instead of as a branch. I taped the circle to a larger piece of coconut white card. On the lower section, I added the remaining part of my sentiment taken from a stamp where I masked off the "wishing" word and stamped it in black on white card. I used the Stitched Flags die set to cut it out with and added it to a slightly larger sky blue mat . I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and made a multi layered frame that surrounded the two pieces. I completed the card with white and Sky Blue mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue and all
Lovely happy sunny card, it would cheer anyone up and would be just as good for someone who is already happy for just a hello too. Missing those lovely sunny days at the moment but happy to share with you northern hemisphere Wilsonettes, good to know you are having some nice weather.

Morning sue and all Wilsonettes, you are so right this is a really gorgeous card, all the elements fit perfectly even down to the little birds, love it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
What can I say Sue. This has to be one of my most favourite samples too, it's clean fresh and extremely pretty. It's just so fresh looking I love the design, colour scheme, those dainty gorgeous tiny little flowers are beautiful. And I hope you feel a sense of pride whenever you see this sample because if it wasn't for your love of craft when you first started 10yrs ago 😉 your decision to go into die design, we wouldn't have these gorgeous starts to our day, (and have a healthier looking bank account) lol I'm hoping that one day I will have these dies and and hope to put the same big smile on someone's face as you've put on mine over the year's.
I really hope that everyone is finding ways to keep from melting during this heatwave and that maybe your craft room is the coolest room in your home !
Sending hugs and hope you have a lovely day xxx
Such a bright and cheerful card. So good for wishing someone better days.
Really cheery card. Would brighten anyones day

Hello Sue
I can see why this card is a favourite of yours!
It is such a pretty card and is delightful using your chosen colour scheme.
The card could be used for many different occasions but with your chosen sentiment is just perfect for letting those friends, who are feeling down for whatever reason, that you are thinking of them.

Hi Sue,
What a lovely happy card, this is right up my street and I bet you had a lot of fun making it up...

Good Morning Sue. Beautiful card today Sue and very cheery. I have to say. I needed something like this...... to cheer up one of my line dance pupils.... she fell in her garden....she has a broken leg.....a broken arm.... and fractured opposite wrist and fingers. We went to see her last week with some flowers from the class.....and she is so down and fed up. She has to have everything done for her.....which2 she said was very upsetting and embarrassing. So if you don't mind Sue I would like to use this to cheer her up a little and put a smile on her face.....as its going to be a long time before she is back dancing again. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind Regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Such a gorgeous card, can see why it is a favourite of yours.
Morning Sue,

Lovely card Sue. Just the sort of card I need to send to a friend who has MS. All she can do is get from her bed into a wheelchair everyday. Too far for me to visit and very difficult to write a letter because you do t want to say all the good things you have been doing or holiday you have been on.
