Good Sunday morning all! I started this card by embossing a piece of white card with the
Leafy Forest embossing folder. I added colour to the folder using
Distress Oxide inks with a
smoothie. I used a very light dusting of
Gathered Twigs for the trees and
Crushed Olive for the leaves and
Tumbled Glass for the sky. Next I used
Blue Wisteria Opal Polish onto a piece of white card and allowed it to dry. I cut a white oval using the
Double Stitched Oval die set and added it with foam to the opal polish piece (white I cut out with an oval die too). I used a branch from the
Cherry Blossom Frame and glued it to the bottom of the oval. I added Spun Sugar ink to the flower buds. I cut the flying bird and the nest and eggs from the
Robin Family die set and glued them in the oval. I cut the
You Brighten My Day in white and glued it to the top part of the oval. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Lovely card x
Oh Sue you know that special feeling you get when something really pretty and beautiful loads and you just can't help smiling, well this gives me that feeling of happiness hope and to try and just for a little while put aside what has been a tragic awful year and concentrate on the warmth of the UK summer with its blue sky, blossom and new life. Very few of us really know each other in real life but as a strong group of 50+ woman here plus you Sue we've supported each other's feelings and been here every day throughout this weird and frightening year, you've given us some stunning samples Sue but this is the one that gives hope, its absolutely beautiful and one I'll come back to every so often during today. I know I always ramble on in my comments but I'm known for going on and on lol I can't appreciate anything with just a few words as you've all gathered, I'm sorry lol, please everyone take care and STAY SAFE AND KEEP CARING xxx ❤

Good Morning Sue and all.
I overslept this morning for sure. My alarm that screams loudly, flashes a blue light and has a bed shaker that is under my pillow , was set for 6a.m. as usual and didn't actually wake me till almost EIGHT.
Your card for today Sue is absolutely fabulous with it's promise of spring and I will go back to it between each job that I've set for myself today. Thank you Sue and all who comment on your posts.

And most of all you have given us all a cheery start to our Sunday morning.Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
STEPHANIE you can ramble on as much as you want for me. I love your rambles they are like a blog soap opera ( in the nicest way) and we are your audience. But the one thing that is true is for most of us who visit is ... this blog has saved us from going in sane ... Each one of us have things that have gone on in our lives and the lockdowns for some have been horrendous....but this wonderful group have given hope and pleasure to each other and we thank you Sue and everyone for this ... Stephanie ... This rambling on is catching 😂😂😂
PLEASE STAY SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏
Beautiful card. Great for mens' cards.
Hello Sue, a really different , but very lovely card. The little birds are so great for many different types of cards. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Good morning Sue,
A truly beautiful card today with your beautiful Robin. Yvonne xx
Hi Sue and everyone well your card has certainly brightened my day and its just what I needed as I'm having a bit of a rough time at the moment, so I thank you 😊 xx
Steph I enjoy reading your posts as I do everyones, and for me you certainly don't ramble on, carry on being you 😉 xx
Back to the card, I love robins as it makes me feel like my dad is nearby and they are such beautiful little birds. The Embossing folder is fab too and I live how you've shaded it Sue. I dont believe I've seen this one before.
Anyway thank you to everyone for cheering up my morning hugs Donna xx
Lovely all occasion and any gender card.

Hi Sue
You brighten our day everyday with your beautiful cards. I’m so tempted by the robin family but I’ll have to resist, well at least until after Christmas !
Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue,
We couldn't have put it better ourselves.YOU always brighten our days Sue. Looking forward to seeing your beautiful cards everyday is a real tonic. Better than any prescription.
We have a pair of robins in our garden who are delightful to watch especially when the blackbirds try to chase them away. So, I will hope that Santa Claus brings me the robin die.(Yes, other birds are available)lol,
Roll on Springtime. Now who's rambling?
Gorgeous card Sue. Hugs xxx Pauline
Hi Sue. What a very bright and cheerful card you have for us today which would be really great for springtime. Love the effect you have created to show how the sun is shining. Thanks for cheering us all up today.

This card would brighten anyone’s day and, as others have said, our days do need brightening. Every time I try colouring over an embossing folder I am far too heavy handed. Just can’t get that right!! X
A lovely card Sue. Like Sued99 above I struggle to find a soft touch for my colouring but yours is of course perfect. Lovely sentiment xx
Hi Sue
Another beautiful card design Sue colours are perfect for the subject not got these dies but may have to consider putting them on my Xmas list.
Please take care my friend
