Get Well
Good Sunday morning all! I selected a piece of black card and used the Cecelia die and cut it into the card. I backed it with a piece of bright yellow card. I inked the Periwinkle Stampcut die in black water based ink and ran it through the die cutting machine. I used Alcohol ink markers to colour the image. I attached the Periwinkle die cut to the side of the card with mounting foam. I cut the Decorative Flag die in white and then cut the Get Well sentiment out of both yellow and black card. I shadowed the sentiment then glued it to the flag die. I added white flatback pearls as accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now Sue x
Morning everyone. And to all missing their dad today on Fathers day in the UK you're not alone xx
Got engrossed in watching the woodpecker outside the cottage and mummy cow looked amazed too with her big brown eyes and curious pretty face. What a lovely sample this is, I feel awful admitting to not remembering the Cecilia die, it really looks beautiful cut in like that. A lovely start to the day thank you. Have a lovely day everyone sending love to all xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, this is such a beautiful die set and perfectly compliment each other. The only thing I would say is when you first look at the sample you see lots of black, perhaps a wisteria or lighter grey colour would have been better, but that is just my choice, hope it is ok to put this on here.
Happy Fathers Day to all those Dad's out there, and like mine up in heaven x
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning.Happy Fathers day to my lovely son who is going to be a first time grandad next month. Also to my own Dad in heaven. Miss you Dad. I love the concept of today's card ... but I think I would prefer a lighter background. The dies used are lovely but the colour ways ... And this is only my opinion ... are not really my cup of tea. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Hi Sue. I do like the sense of drama that can be created by using black card and the fact that it can make the colours used with it really pop, however, because there is such a large expanse of black on this card, to my mind, it creates a rather somber appearance - sorry
I don’t mind the black as that yellow really pops out drawing the eye in. A very striking card, your eyes would be drawn to it in a group of cards. Thank you Sue.
Hello Sue Sorry I am so late but we stayed with our daughter last night. This is a lovely card today. Missing my dad like so many others. Hugs to all that visit today x
Hi Sue, a most dramatic card and although I am usually averse to so much black being on display I actually really like it :-) The Periwinkle stampcut is so pretty and looks lovely shown this way.
Morning everyone.

Morning Sue, a striking and unusual card made with the black card, it really makes the flower colours stand out. Bx
