Hi guys! A pretty aqua and white card for today's offering. I have used the Cupid background from JustRite stamps and inked it with a clear perfect medium pad. I stamped it and then heat embossed it with white powder for a tone on tone look for the background of my card. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the matching antique tag die and used Broken China to ink through the die as a highlight. I mounted it on foam and placed it on the bottom of my card. Next I stamped the largest stamp in the set of the Friends Antique Labels One from Justrite. Again, I stamped it using a clear perfect medium pad and white embossed it. The Broken China distress ink brought out the detail on it. I stamped the smaller stamp in the same manner, but cut this one out using two dies to create a frame. I stamped one of the small sentiments on white card and mounted my frame over it with foam pieces. I added an aqua mat to my background and used Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue to make dots all the way around it. I finished the piece with a double white mat with a pierced inner mat. I just love the aqua, such a soothing colour I think! Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Stunning card Sue. When I first looked at it I thought the background was embossed with an embossing folder until I read your description. Beautiful colours too.
Hugs, Michelle E xx

'morning Sue, beautiful card again , we (the bloggers ) remind me of the plant in the show "feed me" you've certainly got lots of us relying on a wonderful "fix" every day. Thanks as always Mabex

GM Sue - lovely it's a must try!
Well, yday, after reading your blog I tried the faux leather for the first time - woweee! I did an
A5 piece using tea dye and walnut and then clear embossed it - even for a 1st attempt its definitely usable. Hubby thought it looked like snake skin - I think if darker inks are used and then die cut - it would make a brilliant texture for an easter egg. Off to stock up on masking tape!! Thanks soo much.

What a beautiful card so elegant Melanie
Beautiful card and aqua is one of my favorite colors. The die-cut sentiment looks a bit funny to my eye because it is not in center (yes, I do understand why it is the way it is - but it is kinda odd-looking to me).
Hugs, Eemeli

What a wonderful and calming way to start a Tuesday morning. I always think of Aqua as a very calming colour so you have set my day to be a calm one.(whether it stays that way we shall see but it is a start). I love today's format not too fussy but still makes a statement. I bought some Aqua coloured bias binding along with a selection of other colours last week from the monthly market here. They are a fantastic replacement for some styles of ribbon.

Good morning Sue this cars sings to me,the colours are fantastic,and I think it could make a very nice baby card by changing the colour to pink or blue.Sue when you put the size of the card at the end of your blog, is it the decorated page or the base page??

Love the aqua and white together and the card looks stunning. I'm not sure about the larger sentiment though - the die is a little small for it I think!
Hi Sue,
lovely card - I just love the white embossed on white. And the focal point is gorgeous as well.
Hi Sue
Another cracker, very pretty and clean looking.

Such a fresh looking card with the touch of aqua - got to be a favourite of mine. I just love the look of these two colours together. The white embossing on white adds such a good texture and finish to the cardstock, it makes it look like a luxurious card.
Overall, a favourite colour scheme of mine.
I much prefer when you do cards using the prettier colours, whites, aqua, pink, coconut. Those colours are like a breath of fresh air - the darker grungy colours can be depressing at times, so this is such a refreshing change.
