Sending Hugs

 Good Sunday morning all!  I started by coating a piece of card with the Vintage Violet  Glitter Kiss and allowing it to dry thoroughly.  I embossed a piece of white card with thee Quilted Pillow embossing folder.  Next I cut a large oval frame using the double stitched Ovals.  I added it with foam to the piece of glitter kiss card (that I cut into an oval also).  I added it to the background with mounting foam.  I cut three of the vases from the Elegant Arrangements and Beautiful Blossoms dies sets out of white gloss card.  I cut a variety of blossoms out of white card and arranged them into the three vases.  I cut the Sending Hugs sentiment out of black card and added it to the white shadow backing, then glued it across the vases.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

  3. Hi Sue. This past die launch was right up my street with pots, vases and lots of flowers and greenery although some of our green plants give us some amazing colours as the seasons change, do you remember when we knew seasons were changing, we dont see those defined seasons anymore it's either late or early and everything in the UK is at least 2 weeks late so our birds are really suffering. I digress yet again I'm sorry, so yes this is beautiful inspiration Sue and I'm really looking forward to the times I can make people smile when I use your pots planters and flowers the way you make me smile. Hope everyone here today can make the most of some warm weather and are hopefully sharing the day with friends and family. Stay safe, take care keep caring xxx

  4. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous sample today, I love the flowers hanging down in the vases, some look like bells, blue bells perhaps.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  11. Good Morning Sue. Ohhh this is lovely. When I first opened up I thought it was black and white. Then on reading your post ... I looked closer and realised it wasnt. But whatever ... It looks great.. I just love those pots and vases. And of course the gorgeous flowers. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

    PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏.

  15. Morning Sue. There is always something very striking about a dark blue and white creation and this is no exception. Love these little flowers which I think are so versatile.

  33. I love this card with white against the dark background. There’s something fresh feeling with this 2 color combination. The flowers and the vases add texture and look wonderful.
