Hi everyone! I probably should have just gone ahead and done the all white card with this one, but I just wanted a pop of colour on it and this navy blue silky crush ribbon is just delicious in real life. I could not resist it! I cut an aperture in the background with labels 24 and raised the back piece up on mounting foam. Behind the opening, I embossed a piece of white card that I had stamped my sentiment on to first. I placed this behind my aperture and cut a Heartfelt Creations Oval Window die and and nipped out the centre window crossbars and mounted it over my opening. Although, it mostly covers it, you can still see a bit of the labels 24 shape behind it and I liked that. I cut two borders using the new edgeability dies and layered them on the bottom of my card. I added rows of pearls around the to edge of the card as an accent. Using my silky crush ribbon, I tied a double bow and added a pearl embellishment from my stash to the centre. I finished off the bow with a couple of the pearl stick pins (available through any Creative Expressions stockists to answer a question from a comment left a few days ago). I finished the card with piercing around the edge to give it an elegant look. I really liked the simplicity of this card (yes, it sang to me!) All for now, Sue xTuesday 10 April 2012

Hi Sue, I love the heartfelf creations dies and am sad I did not get them from C&C. Love this card especially the strong use of colour on the bow.

How you come up with such divergent projects day after day baffles me (in a good way!). Beautiful.
Hi Sue. I wish your cards werent so stunning as my list of dies that I 'need' is growing longer every day. Another beauty today and the ribbon finishes it off perfectly. Karen x
This is lovely.
I've never tried making a white on white card before but I might have to have a go now.
Spectacularly classy, Sue.
The pearly embellie on the beautiful bow is really lovely.

Hi Sue,
Well I am so behind I seem to have two days of blogs to catch up on. I have been busy collating 'quotes' though so I hope you will forgive me...lol!!
Love this card, it would sing to me too if I wasn't half asleep. Will have to look again when I have had a good nights sleep.
Take care Linda x

As soon as I saw this die Sue, I thought how nice it would be as a frame if I just snipped away the 'cross' in the middle. You have just proved me right and I will certainly be having a go at it. Hugs Sue Pass
