Hi crafters! It's black, white and iris for today's card. I started by cutting the
Caroline die in the centre of the card and one of the
Squared Squares around the edge. I decided to put the Caroline back into the aperture I had cut so you can see the outline of it. I backed the very centre of the
Caroline die with
Iris card and the rest of the background with white card so it really pops out. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the centre oval from the Caroline die set and mounted it in the middle. I made several of the
Petal Pocket flowers out of white card and inked all the edges with
Shaded Lilac ink. I cut centres for them out of Iris card and added pearls. I seated the largest one on a
satin ribbon bow and added some leaves to all of them. The card was completed with white, black and Iris mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

Stunning card Sue and putting that die back into the card is WOW love it. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This colour combination gives a really striking and elegant card. Beautiful!
Hi Sue. Think I like it. But remove the floral element and change the sentiment you've given a brilliant idea for a lovely card to give to a male. That pop of Iris makes the whole thing pop, yes I really do like this. Have a good day whatever your plans xxx
Morning Sue.
Thank you a lovely card.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue, lovely card, love the Iris with the black and white. Love Jean xxx

Good Morning Sue. Lovely card today Sue and the squared frame looks stunning on it. And I agree with Steph...... using another colour and sentiment makes a nice male card. And my hubbys birthday coming up ..... I need these ideas. He is not a sporty man so that cuts a lot out. Thankyou Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

Hi Sue - I really love the way you have used the frame die and the flowers are so simple and work so well on this card. The colours are striking but equally it could be made into a man's card too. Sending best wishes

Hi Sue, I love the style of this card but although I have been using far more black than previously (entirely down to you) there is just a bit too much for me here. I would have to borrow the design and make it in a different colour combination but thanks for the inspiration.
Frances
Hi Sue
I love the squared square Die, very striking card
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Hi Sue,
Like Francis I love the design of the card but not the black.
I would substitute the black for another colour.

Evis M.
Another gorgeous post and I must have missed the petal pocket flowers but they are now on my want list....Would love to see this with red replacing the purple but the purple does work beautifully. Thanks for sharing..
