Good Sunday morning all! I liked this piece of
Caught In Crystal acetate that I found in my background stash so I decided to use it! I started by embossing a piece of white card with the
Elegant Swirls embossing folder for texture. Next I cut the
Leafy Oval out of white card and I placed the Caught In Crystal acetate below the white card. It cut all the way through the white, but just the outline cut in the acetate. I used the acetate as a backing and glued the Leafy Oval to it. I added a raised oval frame using the
Double Stitched Ovals. To create the acetate, I used
Citrus, Clover and Meadow Alcohol inks with a scrunched up piece of tissue over the top. I had a bit leftover so I cut thin strips to add to the sides of the card. I cut the
I'm Here For You sentiment in white twice, stacked them, then glued it into the centre of the frame. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all wilsonettes, such a beautiful creations today and the sentiment says it all for us on this blog, we are in such troubled times the world over and the sentiment is perfect. Love the green colour choice too

Oh Sue this is what I call Inspiration from Sue Wilson. It has your expertise and beauty all over from your caught in crystal to the gorgeous font of your sentiment all sitting gracefully on your tactical background. So much for an extra hour, tell that to the dogs body clock (sitting here since 4am or was it 5am) never mind ay, 6am is certainly worth waiting for 🥰
