Hello crafters! I pulled out the
Pearlescent watercolour inks for today's card. I started with a piece of white card and added
Lime Sherbet and Cerulean Blue randomly all over the card. I spritzed it with a little water to get the colours flowing. I set it aside to dry thoroughly (overnight). Next I used the
Rope Chain embossing folder and gave the piece some texture. For the focal element, I cut the
Happy Big Bold Word die out of black card. I glued it to a piece of white card cut with the
Double Stitched Rectangles and added a black mat. Using the leftover piece from my background, I cut the
Happy die and used the pieces to paper piece back into the black die cut. I stamped the word Birthday in black and cut it out with the tags in the set. I added it with mounting foam to the lower right corner of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 3/4" in size.
We still have unclaimed dies from the blog launch. Please scroll down to see the post of the winners list. If you know anyone on it, please let them know they have won and they need to contact me! All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh so pretty, I do like this one, the colours using the pearlescent inks really are striking and vibrant with the embossing it forms a brilliant backdrop to the 'Happy' die and the birthday stamp finishes it off to perfection, yes I like this one very much.

Morning Sue what a colourful happy easy sample you have for us, this kind of design is spot on for batch making all that's needed is a change of colour, half a dozen dry backgrounds and hey presto, it's a real warm feeling if you have birthday cards ready to give or send for the next few months a true sense of relief and achievement. Happy day everyone be happy keep caring xxx

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteI think you know by now I love my bold happy die there are so many ways to use it. I stamped a sports car in the middle of a white happy and used cogs as a background for my brother and made a cream and brown card with tiny flowers all around happy for a friend. Now I am going to try out some Christmas cards.Take care everyone x
Lovely card I’m a huge fan of the big bold series
ReplyDeleteHopefully the people who haven’t claimed yet are away on holiday with no internet BUT I will always look after any orphans if you need an adoptive crafter🤣
Good Morning Sue. A Happy Day and a Happy Card. This is lovely Sue. Just fits the bill and says it all. The background colours are brilliant ... two of my favourites together.

Hi Sue and everyone, firstly I dont often go for green cards but I absolutely love this background colour with the pearlescent inks its so fun and vibrant. The big bold dies do make a fab and easy statement piece for a card and the more I see your samples the more I feel the need to invest in these timeless word dies. A stunning card Sue. Ohh and I received my sentiment that I won from the Christmas launch today, so thank you again Sue.
ReplyDeleteIf the other dies aren't claimed, I can be whoever you want me to be Sue haha.
Hugs to all,
