Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to my American readers! I have an autumnal sort of card to share with you today. I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the
Rope Chain embossing folder for texture. Next I cut the
Erin die and the Caitlin dies in white and nipped both of them in half. I cut the Eliza die in black and used it as a base for the cut dies to attach to from behind. For the focal element, I stamped the
Lottie's Sunflower Stamp To Die For in black and cut it out with the matching
Lottie die. I used
distress markers to colour it (antique linen, wild honey, forest moss, crushed olive and spiced marmalade.) I stamped it a second time, but just coloured the main flower and cut it out by hand and ,mounted it on top with foam. I stamped my sentiment in the open area and mounted the entire piece in the middle of the card. I added a wide black mat to the top and bottom of the card, then completed the card with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Thank you for another gorgeous sample xxx

Good morning all and Happy Thanksgiving to all American followers .
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card today Sue, I think it is a bit out of my reach but I can still admire it from afar. You are so generous with your expertise and I do wonder if you ever take a rest.
Good wishes to all.

ReplyDeleteI love my STDF but I don't have this one. An error I need to correct judging by this card. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHugs Helen xx
Hi Sue, lovely card . love Jean Z xx
ReplyDeleteOh Sue this is a stunning card I love it the stamp and the dies are gorgeous. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! This is a nice card but I can’t help thinking that it would be nicer uncoloured and just the dies used, with no stamping. The top die would obviously not be plain but have a lacey look, using the inner part of the Lottie die. I hope you understand what I’m saying!
ReplyDeleteDoreen R
Beautiful card sue another stunner great mixture of dies and colour and stamps this card has every thing. Laura o Springfield

Hi Sue, Happy Thanksgiving to you and all our American friends, I hope you have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteToday you have given us another beautifully designed and coloured card which I love (despite the rather odd shape lol). I don't recall having seen the Rope Chain embossing folder before and it is rather interesting so bears further investigation.
Have a good day everyone.
Frances
Don’t remember seeing that stamp, but now that you’ve colored it, how can I live without it?
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to from New England.
Best,
Donita
Love it! I have everything listed for a change, ha. My stamps came yesterday. Could not resist them. Love the colors you used. I hope my Distress markers are not dried up but I do have the pads in these colors.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Everyone. I am thankful for all the inspiration I find here on this blog.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Sue and my fellow American followers.
The floral arrangement on today's card would make the perfect centerpiece for any Thanksgiving table. The coloring of the stamp is lovely in beautiful Autumnal tones and it is shown off to perfection with the addition of other die cuts and a beautiful embossed mat. Quite lovely.
Again Happy Thanksgiving to all celebrating today.
