Hi crafty friends! This card is so pretty in person, another case of my photography skills falling short. I will try to give you a good description so you can imagine it better (than my pictures show it!) I started with a piece of Graphic 45 paper. It had a small pattern on it, not quite tone on tone, but almost. I covered it with a piece of self adhesive sticky sheet and then covered it with clear micro beads to give my background a textural feel. Next, using milk coloured card, I cut the largest size of the Resplendent Rectangles to use as the bottom layer on my focal element. Using the next size in the set, I cut it also using milk card. On the very edge, I ran a bead of Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue al the way around and covered it in Rock Candy Dry Glitter. I love this glitter as it dries white and sparkly. There is no interference colour added so you don't get the pink and purple colours coming from it. It is perfect for use as snow (dare I say that word! LOL) I added small flatback pearls to the inside corners on this piece. Next I stamped the Embroidered Background by Justrite Stamps using a clear perfect medium pad on another piece of Graphic 45 paper with a similar pattern as my background. I heat embossed it with clear powder so it gave more texture to the piece, but allows you to still see the paper pattern. I cut a nested oval medallion shape from this piece and layered it up in the centre of my focal element. Next I stamped the oval medallion frame from the Always and Forever set and cut it out using two dies to give me a frame. I inked it with Tattered rose distress ink while still in the die. I stamped the frame again, this time on milk card and added my sentiment to the centre. I mounted my frame over this piece using 3D mounting foam for dimension. I tied a messy bow out of seam binding and spritzed it with water to give it a shabby chic feel. I made a rose using the method in the tutorial on the Creative Expressions website and added it atop my bow and attached both to the corner of my focal element. I used a paint brush to add CS glue to my rose and then sprinkled it with more Rock Candy Dry Glitter for extra bling. Just the best kind of card to get, thinking of you today! Finished dimensions are 6 1/2'' x 8 1/2'' in size. All for now, Sue x

Another stunning card Sue, and that rose is adorable.
Really pretty card, love the rose and the micro on the background xx
Great card, looks more dark peach than pink on my screen. Love the Rock candy glitter, nice to have white sparkle without lots of other colours in it. Linda xxxx
Love the textures and style of thi card Sue-not so sure about the colours but that just might be my computer.Bought some of the dies on last nights shows on c&c but really missed you and your ideas-the two presenters were just a little too gushy for me.Sooooo looking forward to your new shows,take care,x.
Photo's don't show the real colour of our card and can be misleading but this is a lovely card Sue, even with it looking more peach than pink.x

morning Sue
I really like the format of today's card but not too sure of the colour - It's just not talking to me - perhaps another background colour would be better - I shall give it a try -.
Went to the monthly market in the closest small town to me here in Burgundy yesterday and came back with some beautiful buttons and a load of bias binding in different colours to use as ribbon and my heat gun also arrived yesterday so nearly a very happy bunny just need to travel 90ks (45 each way)to the nearest craft shop so I can complete my heating needs.
Janet x
Good Morning Sue. Oh, how beautiful. Everything perfect, even down to the glittered rose.

Hi Sue
Love the card especially the rose-good to have shows back on C&C whoever is doing them can always get some ideas(and products)
Good morning Sue
Disappointed you are not doing the Spellbinders shows so haven't watched them. Today's card is beautiful especially because you have used my favourite micro beads. I use them all the time and they always look fabulous. The colour looks deep peach and cream on my screen.

'morning Sue I too am missing your shows on TV and am not tuning in as much. I don't even look at the schedule now. Love this card, perhaps C&C and Ideal World should look at your blog and see what they AND we are missing. Keep Well, Mabex

More peach than pink on my screen Sue, but very pretty all the same, and adaptable to an colour really. I have the rectangles set, and never thought of glitter on the edge of that die, it's a great idea. Thank you!
Morning Sue, Love the micro beads and rock candy and one of favourite flowers - beautiful. I haven't watched any Spellbinder shows as they are not the same without you.
Love Rosemarie xx

Morning Sue, very pretty card, sometimes the colours don't quite run true when on a screen, but such a lovely card can be made with lots of different combinations. Can't wait till March to have you back on screen, take care from a snowy Scotland, Jess x

Morning Sue - This one must have taken you and age to complete. Love everything about it. I have purchased some micro beads so will be trying these out.
Val C xx
The colours of this one are not quite my thing, but then it does not show as pink, more of a salmon. The design however, is lovely, and I do like your rose.
Good Morning Sue,
A deceptively simple look to this one today. Not keen on the main colour, but love the rose, bow and the central focal element. Couldn't get to my computer yesterday, but would like you to know that I loved your shabby chic 'friend' card - beautiful.
Sue
A like all the different textures you use, any recipient of your cards must love to just stroke them :)
For some reason I do like these colours Sue - I think they are lovely - but not everyone likes the same thing - thankfully.
I would love to replicate this design as it looks so elegant but simple.
Apologies for not stopping by lately - just been busy with other things in life.
Very sweet card! Unusual color combo!
Absolutely nothing wrong with your photographic skills Sue, they are a perfect accompaniment to your beautiful cards, you always get the close up of the details just right so that we mere mortals can emulate your beautiful designs. Yet again another stunning example of your beautiful work and yet again I am adding to my wish list.
Hello Sue, Did not watch the Spellbinder shows, just not the same without you, I am on countdown for your March shows lol.
This card is sooo pretty, love the textures, must get some Rock Candy Dry Glitter. The bow and rose are scrummy.
Take care.
Hugs June xxx

Hello Sue
loving the large frame, gives a nice layer. hating to sound a bit dim, what is rock candy ? is it a type of glitter or glitter glue. I like the effect on today's card. Has it been on any of your shows or will it be in your up coming shows.
crafty hugs Julie-Ann x
Hi Sue, yet another gorgeous card today!!! I haven't attempted to make that style of rose yet, it looks a bit difficult, but I must give it a try. Love Sam xxx
Hi Sue

Dear Sue,
We are all thinking of you today, appreciating your accurate and comprehensive attention to detail
not only in the construction of your cards, but also your imaginative and artistic interpretation of Spellbinder 'tools'.
Today's card is a classic Sue Wilson piece, the type of which
has made you so many followers
of your craft. Thank you.
I am really looking forward to
4-8 March and to some Heartfelt Creations and Justrite stamps.
Hugs,
Lis x
Oh Sue, yet again a lovely card, beautiful.. S . O . S. Please tell, where do you get the tool that put's the holes on the edge of your matt/layer. I use a pricking tool but so long and drawn out, by the end i have holes like a dart board :) ANYONE know where to purchase or what it's called?
Another pretty card with a very realistic rose! x
Simply Stunning !
well sue you have had me spending again...love it....love your cards too x
MIA - just enter 'craft ruler with stitching (or pricking) holes' in eBay or search engine and you should be lucky (I was) then all you need is proper pricking tool too. Got mine both from same shop.
Mia
Hope this helps I use Tim Holtz Design Ruler with a pricking tool. I decide where I want the holes measure and mark the corners so not to go pass into the margin.
Gilly C
Very, very nice.
Hi Sue another pretty card love the rose and micro beads a great girly
one.Hugs Lynda
Hi Sue
Another beautiful card today. I have all of these components so might have to do a version. Mind you my rose wouldn't look like yours!!!
Once again thank you for your kindness.

Wow, great card! The color is great and the micro beads add such an interesting texture! Hugs, Hanneke

Hi Sue,
Love everything about this one. I like the glitter you've used with the micro beads, it's just enough for me - I don't like anything too glittery but these two things together look really nice, especially in close up - and there is nothing wrong with your photography!
Sue xx
A beautiful card Sue. I think I will have to have a go at this one.
