Hi bloggers! I just love the look of cream (milk card) and black together, it is just so elegant looking! Today's card is an easy layer up and framed card, but it really looks lovely!
The winner of the card giveaway is:
Sam Smithard!!!
Congratulations! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card!
Just a quick reminder that I will be doing the One Day Special on Hochanda starting tonight at 6pm and then again at 8pm. It is more of my Christmas die release!

Firstly I have to say how delighted I am to read that our Sam has the honour of receiving your Giveaway card from Wednesday it couldn't go to a more deserving blog friend, well done love enjoy the masterpiece every day ☺
ReplyDeleteMilk is one of my most favourite and used card and I hope it's never discontinued and I love toning it in with the real dark colours like you've done here and along with the dark cocoa midnight blue etc, it really helps bring some serenity to any card we make but the dark cards bring out the intricate patterns and delicate swirls of the dies when shadowed. I love this sample so much to see without sending your eye's crazy lol then it's all calmed down with your ivy corners, beautiful and I'm looking forward to watching your tutorial a little later. Have an enjoyable day Sue and thanks for this delightful inspiration xxx

Good Morning Sue. Another lovely card this morning and another easy to watch video. I could sit here all day just watching how easy you make these beautiful cards look.

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to get a video using the die that I won from you a while ago. I will certainly be using this tutorial and thank you in advance of my efforts. I love the way you have presented her.
Congratulations Sam. The prize could not be going to a more deserving person.
Happy weekend to everyone.

Hi Sue, a beautiful card. Very elegant in the milk and black. Lovely ivy corners to the frame. Thanks for your video. Congratulations to the lucky card winner.
ReplyDeleteWhat's amazing about this card is how it looks like Bella has another layer we didn't know about, but it's the octagon you cut into the base behind her. I just love how Bella looks when her swirls are offset in the shadow color. I just love Bella.
ReplyDeleteHooray for Sam Smithard! I'm so happy you're the winner! The selecting hat must have enjoyed picking Sam.
After watching Julia on rewind, I don't have any money left, but that's okay because I've already bought practically the whole festive release. After feeling smug for only pre-ordering a few. This year, no batch cards. Everyone's getting something different. Knowing me, they'll all be boughten cards because I'll have run out of time. I know, start now. But I can't, I still owe my Dad His Belated Father's Day card.
If only Sue could see us and we could all see each other as we watch together on Hochanda.
Maybe we could IM each other. Wish I knew how to set up an IM group.
Best,
Donita
A very elegant card SUE
ReplyDeleteI don’t think I’ve ever put milk card together with Black It looks beautiful
