Hi crafters! I have a lovely, soft, almost romantic card to share with you today. I started by embossing a piece of Powder Pink card with the
Brambled Rose embossing folder for texture. I cut two of the
Hexagonal Borders in
Taupe card and cut both of them down the centre and glued them back together, overlapping the centres to create a thinner border. I cut a strip of pink card and added it down the back of the centre of the border and added mounting foam to raise it before adding them to the sides of the card. I cut the
Abigail die in white and seated it in a diamond orientation between the borders. Next I stamped the matching
Stamp To Die for called Abigail's Peony Spray and cut it out with the Abigail outline die. I used
Distress Markers to colour it (antique linen, forest moss, spun sugar and worn lipstick). I cut the
For You die in Taupe and in black, shadowed it and glued it into the open area in the Stamped die cut. I used white, taupe and powder pink mats and layers to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size. All for now Sue x

Such a beautiful card today, definitely romantic looking.
Hello Sue,
Such a pretty and romantic feeling card today. The colors are so gentle and soft. It's amazing how a stamped image can change the whole feel of a card. The Stamps To Die For to match your latest release are incredibly gorgeous, there is so much detail in each one.
I have used the Hexagonal Border die many times, I absolutely love it, but never once did I think about making it smaller as you have done. I'm going to have to try that.
Have a wonderful day.

morning Sue.
Thank you a very pretty and romantic card.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
This is adorable. So soft, so delicate, so pretty, so you. It's incredible how you've given the impression of Hessian on the background of the stamp, and the misty but bold effect of the roses seem to take you into the design, almost holds a hidden secret or story from the past. I have no more to say other than this is true Sue Wilson inspiration at its best, thank you xxx
Hello Sue

Hello Sue, this card seems to tell a story . It's soft and gentle with lovely dies and sentiment. Very useful for lots of occasions xx
Hello Sue, a very lovely and feminine card, the beautiful soft colours really make a difference to the look. Have a good day everyone. Bx

A beautiful vintage looking card.
I love how soft the colors are.
Made a little roof rack for my Platinum to hold the cutting plates out of the way. Just a couple inches of that foam insulation for water pipes, cut in half and taped on either side of the handle, like antlers. Now after I remove the die cut from between the plates, I just stack the plates on top of the machine. They don’t slide down the rounded top because those fat U’s hold them up like hands holding a tray. Very handy.
Best,
Donita
Hi Sue - such a pretty card and so feminine, absolutely love it. Sending best wishes

Hi Sue. I would have to agree that this card has got a romantic feel about it which is possibly helped by the use of the vintage colour scheme.

You said "almost romantic", my first thought on seeing this card was "what a totally romantic card this is". The feel of this card is that of the beautiful old Victorian Romance and I cannot see that anyone could help but love it (and whoever sent it to them).
Hugs Helen xx
Hi Sue, a beautiful card. Soft and pretty with lots of detail and an old Victorian look.
Hi Sue,
Absolutely beautiful and romantic. Love it.

Hi Sue, this card is beautiful, so soft and gentle and Victorian looking. Love the colourways and the Brambled Rose EF suits it perfectly. Love it all.
Donita - are you sure you are a journalist or are you really an engineer in disguise?
Pauline - safe journey home.

What a lovely sort of old-time look to this card. I love the stamps which are actually coming today. Now if I ever finish my Christmas cards, I can play with them.
Donita, sounds like you are very inventive. I think after crafters, we are all organizers (or dream of being).
Have a great Wednesday everyone,
