Hello my crafty friends! I am trying to mix it up a bit with a few older release cards. I started this one by cutting three Meandering Twig Borders out of coconut white card. I cut three blue dusk panels and backed them with a thin black mat and added mounting foam to the backs of them. I added all three to a piece of coconut white card. I glued the borders to them and used Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue to add small drops to the ends of all of the border pieces for some great texture! I allowed it to dry overnight. I cut a Pierced Flag out of white and added the next size up in black as a mat. I used the Thank You Mini Expression cut in black and glued it to the flag, then mounted it across the card. Using the outer dies from the Passion Flower, I made two scrunched flowers and added glitter to the edges. I mounted the flowers at the edge of the flag with a ribbon bow and leaves as accents. I made two stick pins and added them as embellishments. White, Blue dusk and black mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue. Your Meandering Twigs are such a pretty stand alone die, use with another die, or show its beauty alone like you've done on this beautiful sample and you know it's going to make someone smiled. This sample could be a great quick/batch card using lots of different colour ways and switching sentiments, a beautiful sample to look at. Enjoy your Sunday xxx
ReplyDeleteOh love this card. From the colours you have chosen to the beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteReally great to see older dies in the picture. x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card thank you.
It is so nice to see a bow and the stick pins.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes

Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card using a fabulous die. Love the pva drop embellishment, you were very patient applying all those three times over! x
Lovely to find this lovely card today. I love its simplicity and the flower is beautiful xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Lovely card it’s amazing how the glue dots transform the meandering twig borders. The colours are very pretty and the flowers just add a lovely finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteBarbara V
Stunning card. X
ReplyDeleteA little pvc bead on every single twig! Incredible!!! Yes, that could convey gratitude, if your recipient only knew the lengths you went to on the card you made for her. It does look fabulous. And watching all those glossy little pearls plop down and form up probably gave you a peaceful break from your high-intensity life.
ReplyDeleteI’m making backgrounds with Dylusions acrylic paint and whatever textures are within reach. Bubble wrap, that nubby netting that keeps rugs from slipping, and a silicone potholder that has a mini hexagon pattern. I’ve only made it through two yellows, three greens and one blue. Still have the purples, reds and oranges. I want some for fall leaves, some for behind the frames like yesterday’s card, and some for backings for the cut-out designs from Creative Expressions. Everybody has such wonderful things they do with backgrounds.
I hope you will make a point of enjoying as many of your Sunday moments as you can. I will too.
Best,
Donita
Hi Sue - this is such a lovely die used as a background and I love the very pretty and tranquil colours you have chosen. Would look very stylish in any colour too. Sending best wishes

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteThank you for revisiting your older dies I was tidying up my craft room yesterday and I realised I have so many of your beautiful dies I must use them more.
Donita you are more adventurous than me I have just about managed to master pixie powders
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteA very pretty card, love everything about it. The Meandering Twig die is lovely and I love that it can be used as it is here or on its own. Love and hugsAlison xxx

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card. The meandering twigs creates such a gentle, pleasing effect when used on a card and to think that you have added a pearl drop to all of the little ends. The result is certainly worth it. Getting out the older dies makes them seem like new again.
Have a great day.
Beverly
Hello Sue, gosh your so patient using the Pva drops and at the same time relaxing. Beautiful card and die.The results speak for themselves. Enjoy your day xx
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue and all
ReplyDeleteStunning card this morning , The meandering twig panels look so effect finished with PVA . The hint of black card finished the card of beautifully making it pop.

ReplyDeleteAnother beauty.
Love the meandering twigs, it is such a pretty intricate die. Love blue dusk, gorgeous colour.
I really admire your perseverance putting all those pva dots on the ends of the meandering twigs. I am far to impatient to decorate my cards like that, it really does add a stunning finishing touch.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious card, I love the dies. My meandering twigs are the ones I bought together with the flora when you released them, they are so beautiful. And then you spoiled us with stick pins, too.
Beautiful.

Lovely card Sue, your meandering twig die is beautiful.
ReplyDeletex
Morning Sue, when I first saw your card I thought, wow, that's a quick 'thank you card' which is just what I wanted. Then I read your detailed instructions and realised how wrong I was.
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely to see the return of your stick pins too. Yes please keep showing us some of your older dies as I do believe that many of us suffer from memory loss especially as you keep bringing us lots of wonderful launches every year.
I do like your meandering twigs die. Have a Great Sunday everyone. Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.
Morning Sue, beautiful card. I bought those dies ages ago and have yet to make a card with them, now I must! Love Jean xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful card. Lovely background and colour way.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a really lovely card and the Meandering Twigs die looks great used in this way. I am in awe of your patience in adding all the PVA dots, I think I have done well when I have added a dozen to a holly branch! Love the flowers and it is good to see stick pins again for a change.
