Miss You
Hello there my crafty friends! I started with a piece of Pixie Sparkled card using Beyond Blue Pixie Sparkles. Next I cut the Columba Gemini die in white twice I glued them to the sides of the pixied card, then used the Columba cutting die to cut it even with the die on both sides. Next I used the Sophia die to cut it into the centre of the card. I back the Sophia die with a piece of the Beyond Blue card, then added a piece of black card behind the entire piece. I used the Double Stitched Octagons and made a thin white frame. I added mounting foam to the back and attached the frame in the centre of the card. I cut the Miss You sentiment in black and glued it to the middle of the die cut. Using the flowers from the Magnolia Corner I added three small flowers at the bottom of the frame. I glittered them with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good Morning Sue and all. What a beautiful card to start the day and the sentiment is just right for me too as I still miss my Canadian friends and family. I never get tired of seeing yor cards Sue as they are a true inspiration and this one is no exeption. Thank ypu. Marie P.
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Such a pretty card Sue x the Colombia gemini die is just beautiful and I love the detail x I love it all x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Hi Sue. You've used some golden oldies here I think, who would have thought that when you designed your very first die I'd be struggling for storage room to house the 100 other designs lol and I STILL forget to cut into the cardstock, it's only when you give my brain a poke with your pretty inspirational samples do I tell myself out loud not to keep using as a border or nesting, CUT INTO your card and show the pretty pixie underneath you fool lol, so now you know what goes on inside my head, I'll say "I miss your demo's on TV Sue " and I'll send my love to you and to all our Wilsonettes xxx
Morning Sue, I agree,it's nice to see some of your older dies being used. I'm definitely going to hunt through my collection for some of the first of yours which I bought, eons ago.
Hi Sue. Not too sure about this one. I do like to see black used on cards as it usually makes the colours pop but I think there is too much black on this one for me - sorry.
Been missing for a few days, busy with grandies during their long summer school break. Today's card is beautiful, just love the colour and so good to see some of the old dies being used....luv Ursula xx

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful sample with a fantastic lace effect on the sides, I'll have to have a play and see if I can achieve this effect too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue and all.
