Good Morning Sue
This is a beautiful card. I love how you make your dies work for you. So often we just a take a die at face value and don't look beyond. You are an inspiration to us.

Stunning card today Sue and absolutely adore those little butterfly dies.

Looks like a key element of this video was left on the editing room floor, as they say. How did you get the frame cut in white, which allows little squares of blue to show through, to be a rectangle instead of a square? I'm baffled. Anyway the result is a lovely card. Once again you make contrasts do your bidding, with all those swirls and flowers and the silky bow loops kept in line with a perfectly orderly little regimentation of squared squares.
So beautiful! The recipient would feel thoroughly thanked!
Best,
Donita
Stunning card.

Hello Sue and all
The squared squares border really sets off this card as does the pop of darker blue behind the focal element. Love the bling butterflies too, great video as usual

Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

Hi Sue
This is a gorgeous card. Yet to watch the video.
I am lucky enough to be the proud owner of your squared squares and they are fab. Would love different shaped dies using the same concept - PLEASE!!! x
Apologies for my absence over the last week. Can you believe I have had a dreadful cold, which completely floored me. My mum informed me that the queen had recently had a Summer cold so I was in good company!!
