Thinking Of You
Hello there my crafty friends! I cut a piece of white car to use as the background for today's card. Next I used the Layered Apple Blossoms and cut them out of vellum. I cut both the parts of the flowers and the leaves. I used Distress ink and coloured the back of the vellum. I used Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick inks for the flowers and Fossilized Amber for the centres of the flowers. and Crushed Olive ink for the leaves. I assembled the flowers and attached them in a diagonal across the card. I cut the NobleThinking Of You out of Silver Shine card and added it above and below the flowers. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. Don't forget to check back tomorrow morning for the winner of the April release die collection! All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. You will have your children gasping with delight when today's inspiration is revealed, it's just gorgeous, so pretty, so delicate, so our Sue Wilson, I need these flowers to add to my collection, what a stunning start to our week. Hope everyone has a decent day today, love to all xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh Sue this is such a beautiful card today, it says it all for me as today would have been my Mum's birthday and it is also the day my Dad passed away as well, so it is if this card is made just for me, of curse that is silly but it is such a beautiful card, I am going to have a go at the vellum with the inks behind - such a beautiful creation with the lovely flowers.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue. This is such a lovely delicate card today . It seems to say something that would be special to just someone ... I hope you know what I mean. It seems hard to explain. But one thing is certain if this dropped through my letter box I would be so happy. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏.Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
Thinking of you today JUNE SMITH. It is 47 years this week since I lost my beautiful Mum. I wasn't crafting then . But I know she would have loved any card I made for her. Sending hugs 🤗.
I always love your flower dies and the way you use them on your cards, however, these look exceptionally beautiful. I love the colours you’ve used behind the velum and the way you’ve placed them on the card. The sentiment, in style and colour compliment them perfectly. A really beautiful card and I have to say one of my favourites. I will definitely be trying out your velum technique.
Hi Sue, oh this is such a pretty card. Creating the apple blossom flowers from vellum gives them the same delicate look as the real thing, just beautiful.
