Hello all! I think it's time for another card giveaway today so if you like this one and want to be in for a chance to give it a good home, you just need to leave a comment today. I will draw a winner from all the people who left comments and post the winner during the week. It's a really simple card, but quite pretty in real life. I started my embossing the coconut white card using the Creative expressions Lattice folder. I used the blush pink card for the top part of the background. Using blush satin ribbon, I wrapped a piece around the card between the two sections and tied a double bow and added it with a sticky dot. I used a pearl embellishment in the centre of the bow. Using the smaller dies in the Resplendent Rectangle set, I cut a frame out of white card that was covered with a self adhesive sticky sheet. I peeled the backing paper off and covered the frame with clear micro beads. I stamped my sentiment using a black archival ink pad on white card. On either side of the sentiment, I stamped a small flower from the Justrite Grand Sentiment set using a clear Perfect medium pad. I heat embossed it with white powder. Using Spun Sugar distress ink, I lightly inked over the flowers to highlight them. I added some 3D foam to the back of my frame and placed it over my sentiment, cutting the excess away from beneath the frame. I glued it to the centre of the top of the card. To accent the lattice background, I added small flatback pearls to all the intersections of the lattice. I finished the card by matting it with some blush card, then a double mat of white card with a pierced edge. Very soft and girly for numerous occasions. Don't forget the leave a comment today! Finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, lovely understated card. You have proved to us yet again that a card doesn't have to be complicated to be beautiful.

Absolutely STUNNING! All your creations are so beautiful and I'm glad I found your blog.
Hi Sue I love the lattice folder I use it often stunning card Hugs Corinne
Sue,
This card is so elegant - as your cards almost always are. I would SO love to see it in person! I love that embossing folder and the way it weaves the lattice. Every time I see one of your cards with the piercing around the edge, I tell myself I should do that - but I seldom remember. It adds so much to a card, as do all the layers that you add. That heat embossing is also a nice touch.

Hi Sue. a beautiful and elegant
card very simple but very pretty
just my style love the flowers at
side of sentiment not thought to do that. Nancyd xx
This is so beautiful, simple & fresh looking I just LOVE, love, love it!!
You seem to use that emboss folder a great deal & it appears to be very versatile, I think it must go on my 'to buy' list!.
This card would suit a complete beginner like me, but what are micro beads? you used them to make the 'crispy shiny' frame around 'Thinking of you'.
Thank you again for a wonderful card, so pleased I've found you.
Now this is my kind of card! I love it and it would also work with all white. Just beautiful Sue another great example of why we follow you. Hugs Sonia x
Very elegant - a lovely card.
