Hi bloggers! Girlie, girlie, girlie today. Equal time for the ladies' cards I say! I started by cutting four of the Botanical Swirl and Accents corner in white card. Use the wax paper for these and they are a breeze! I like the dotted line so I cut them just behind it to leave it as part of the corner on all of them. I glued them to a piece of blush card. Next I cut three frames using the two largest sizes of Labels 28 out of rose coloured card. I added in the next size smaller in the die set on two of the frames to give me the extra frames that I needed. I arranged my frames with the three largest lined up vertically. The two smaller frames, I set on top horizontally. I cut a long thin strip of blush card and began to weave it through all the frames to hold them and give me the buckle effect for my card. Next I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the tag from the french Frills set. I inked it lightly with Spun Sugar while in the die. I added it in the centre of my focal element with mounting foam. I added this entire piece to a larger piece of card where I tied some silky crush ribbon around. I tied a double bow and attached it with glue dots. I added a pearl embellishment and two stick pins. This colour is actually not available yet as it was a sample sent to me by our supplier to see what I thought of it. It will hopefully be added to the line sometime later in the year. I loved the colour myself, what do you think? Finished dimensions 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
I got to thinking yesterday as I was reading all the wonderful comments. There were almost 250 comments by the time I did this blog post last night. Only on two occasions have I had over 400 comments left in a single day, and I was over the moon! As a little experiment, I will give today's card away if we can pass the 400 mark before Wednesday's blog goes live. No duplicates though please, one per person. If we hit our goal, I will randomly draw a name from the comments left and quite happily give this one away too! All for now, Sue x

Have recently started looking at your blog daily, after you mentioning it on C&C. I love it and it is so inspirational! In view of your request to make the 'magic 400' comments I thought I'd add mine for you. I really love your card today. The colours are so pretty, especially the matching ribbon which I look forward to buying when it becomes available! I am sure to make my own version and hope it will be as beautiful. Thanks.
Loved yesterday's card but I LOVE today's, such a great colour.
