Thinking Of You

Hi crafters!  I started with a piece of coconut white card and used the Elemental Swirl stamp and randomly stamped it all the way around the edge of the card using a Black Archival ink pad.  I covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet and then coated it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  Next I cut two white squares using the Double Stitched Squares and cut a thin black mat to go under them.  I cut the Joanie die in white five times.  I glued four of them into the corners of the square mat, allowing them to overlap in the centre.  I cut the Joanie die in black and offset it behind the fifth Joanie die, then added a Sky Blue backing.  I cut the outermost decorative die in the set in white and seated the Joanie die in the middle of it, then added it with foam to the centre of the card.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Decorative Flag die.  I turned the die around and cut the other end with the fork tail too then added it with foam across the centre of the Joanie die.   I added a small blue flower from the Blossom Patch set.  The card was completed with white, black and sky blue mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

What a way to start the week. So much love and work has gone into this inspiration and you must be singing so loud Sue it's gorgeous. I've always thought that having a black shadow behind your intricate dies shows their design to its best and how much work has gone into them. This is a real Sue Wilson design and one I will never get tired of seeing here in your blog.

Marie, hope yesterday was a very special day and you got as spoilt as your great granddaughter.

To all our family here STAY SAFE KEEP CRAFTING xxx 💕

Hi Sue. What a pretty card today, I love the Joanie die as it is so delicate and it really lends itself to this design with the extensions in the corners.

Hello Sue
Like some of the others I thought I had lost a day I think your first card is lovely a true Sue Wilson beauty. The second card is nice but angels are not my favourite thing. Marie I hope your christening went well. Take care everyone x

Hello there ,
I don't know how I missed commenting on this one Sue,it is so beautiful and so obviously SUE WILSON. I must have still been in Cloud Cuckoo Land from having been out .
Despite Corona and all it's ramifications,like wearing a mask, Social distancing (and the Priest not wearing 'the loop' so I couldn't hear a thing) I was so thrilled to just BE THERE.
Love.
