For My Friend
Hello crafters! I started this card by selecting a piece of custard card. I embossed it using the Rose Bed embossing folder. I used spray glue over the entire piece then sprinkled Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on it. I cut a frame using the Clipped Corner Rectangles in white. I added mounting foam to the back of the frame and attached a piece of custrad card. I seated the frame in the centre of the card. Using the Layered Daisies, I cut several flowers out of two shades of white card (coconut and bright white)and cut the leaves and stems out of two shades of green card. I added yellow centres to all the flowers then assembled the flowers and glued them into the frame. I cut the For My Friend sentiment in black and glued it beneath the frames daisies. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning Sue and all that pop in to see today's breathtaking inspiration. You've shared some beautiful projects lately but this is absolutely stunning, it's gorgeous, a happy start to a new day and what a way to start, this would deserve to be mounted on the wall in a plain shadow box, it would definitely bring a smile to the recipients face every time they looked at it. All good news from biopsies and scans, I'm now going to settle with a hot coffee and catch up on the world figure skating ⛸ Love and caring to all blog family xxx
Hello Sue, an absolutely stunning card. The colours are so fresh and in the close up photos you have really captured the frosted glitterbitz. Marion S x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow what a really gorgeous sample today, it is absolutely brilliant, the detail in the close up photos are amazing, I bet this looks so wonderful in real life and you can then see all the wonderful sparkle too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue and all. I was hoping this card would have its day on the blog - it is absolutely stunning, and cheerful Spring colours too! So pleased for you Steph - Colleen xx

Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Stunning card Sue x I love everything about this one, from my favourite embossing folder to the beautiful daisies x thankyou Sue x Steph, such wonderful news x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Hi Sue. What a lovely spring card today. So pretty with the daisies. Love the yellow colour which is quite unusual for me as I usually shy away from that colour on it's own.
Such a beautiful spring card, look forward to seeing all the little daisies coming up in my lawn, this reminds me of them....the launch once again was great, some amazing dies, thank you Sue...luv Ursula xx
Well I rarely use yellow or ‘custard’ but the custard elements really compliment the daisies perfectly. I bet the sparkle in real life is amazing but you have managed to capture it in your photos. Thank you Sue.
Good Afternoon Sue. How sweet and fresh is this beautiful creation. I absolutely love it. And where was I when this gorgeous sentiment had its day. I love that one . Think I might need a search for it later. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Great news STEPHANIE. So happy for you and the family 😍
