Good Sunday morning! I'm up again very early for today's shows, but I've got enough time that I can also do the comment game drawing so don't forget to read to the bottom of the post! For today's card, I have used the Flora Embossibility folder on a crisp white card background to give some texture to my card. I gave it a thin mat of rose coloured card to match my vintage ribbon, then matted it with another piece of white card that I pierced. I cut five of the smallest Aster Flower die in white card that had a piece of the self adhesive sheet added to it (before cutting). I peeled off the backing paper and beaded them all with the clear micro beads for a lovely texture. You should be able to see it better in the close up below. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the Floral Oval dies and inked it while still in the die using Victorian Velvet with a bit of Spun Sugar Distress ink. I mounted the sentiment in the upper corner and ran the Asters up the card diagonally. I added a piece of vintage ribbon and a messy bow for a pop of colour and finished the card with a couple of stick pins. Another kind of girlie card, but not too specific for any occasion which is nice!

Hi Sue,
Had a great day today, watching you demo, love this card, loved all the demo cards today, it has been a real joy, despite the rain, lol.
I have spent a fortune, yet again, I just think, what the hell, I just have to work harder, lol.
Congratulations to the lucky winners, I think you should offer a card as the prize, as I think all of us would like to own a 'Sue'
original.
P.S. To Mabe - I too think Sue should be nominated as Crafter of the Year, I will do some research, if anyone else knows please comment, I will join the crusade, lol.
Best Wishes Sue, enjoy the shows tomorrow, I will be on catch-up.

Love this card good inspiration
This is such a beautiful card Sue. Can't wait to try something like it. I made your "I like your style" card today and am pleased with the result. Was the first time I've used the micro beads as although I've had them a while I couldn't get the right adhesive sheets until I visited your stand at Ally Pally. They work perfectly together and I shall be beading everything now! Thank you for all your help and encouragement, you are a very special person,
Sue x
