Good Sunday morning all! Another card from my last JustRite stamp shows today. White on white with a touch of rose here and there. I started by embossing the background with the Creative Expressions Floral embossing folder. Like the lattice folder from yesterday, I use this one a good deal. I rounded the corners then matted it on rose card and started to work on my focal element. I stamped the large stamp from the Friends Antique Label One set by Justrite Stamps using a clear perfect medium pad and then heat embossed it with white powder. I cut it out with the matching die and mounted it vertically in the centre with some 3D foam. Next I stamped the smaller matching stamp on the rose card and used white embossing powder on it also. I stamped the small sentiment in the centre with a black archival pad. I cut it out and mounted it horizontally across my other die cut. I stamped two of the Justrite embroidered borders on white card using a clear perfect medium pad. I used white embossing powder on both for a tone on tone look. I cut them with one of the edgebility dies and mounted them on a rose coloured mat. I used mounting foam on the back of both of them for dimension and added them to either side of my focal element. I stamped the butterfly from the Grand Sentiments (Justrite) set on rose card and embossed it with white. I cover ed it with a self adhesive sticky sheet and cut it out. The backing paper is thin enough to see the image if you hold it up to the light. Once cut, I peeled the paper and covered it with clear micro beads for a lovely texture. I mounted it in the corner and used pearls for the body. I added a double white mat and pierced the inner layer to finish it off. Finished Dimensions are 6" x 7 1/2 in size.
Now I do have a bit of a confession to make. While this is a nice card, I probably wouldn't have put it on the blog as it is more of a card I would make if I had no more than 30 minutes to put something together kind of card. However, when I got home from Florida last week, I realised that I have a damaged both of USB ports on my computer. Not sure how it happened but I can't Skype with my daughter, can't charge my phone and I can't download any pictures until I get it fixed. I am having to use some card pics that would not have necessarily been my first choice. I am hopefully getting it sorted during the week (before I run out of card pictures!) I saved a much better one for tomorrow though so don't worry!

Patricia xx
What you call quick cards would take me a lot longer and I love this one, especially the butterfly. Hope you sort out your computer pronlems too xxx
morning Sue
Today's card matches the outside here in Burgundy this morning - a white/white with little touches of the sun trying its best but not succeeding instead of rose. The colour scheme is beautiful and very gentle just right for a gentle lady who I'm sure would be delighted to receive it. I also love the composition today as you are using the edges again. Not a complicated format but a very appealing one.
Good luck the computer.
Janet x
Morning Sue, sorry to hear about your computer problems it is so frustrating when they go wrong as we depend on them so much!
Love this card Sue, I don't think you ever do a bad one! Congratulations to all the lucky winners too. Love Jean xxx
Stunning card Sue! You outdid your self.
Good morning Sue
I love it when you use 'old' products because it reminds me that I should get them out to use. I have a lot of Creative Expression folders that are so pretty and should be used more. I love the stamped and cut edges I am glad you posted this card it's fabulous. I hope you get your computer fixed soon so that you can Skype your daughter. I have a son living in Madrid and would hate not being able to Skype him.
Hugs x

Good morning Sue,
This is such a lovely card, interesting with the little hints of black.. Thanks
This is very pretty. I like pink and white together. Hugs! xx
Hi Sue,
A very pretty card today, love the borders being inset a bit from the edges.
Donna Jones
What an interesting feature to put the borders on each side the way you have, brings balance and dimension. I live the pink & white together as well.
Alice xx
GM Sue - nice card and pretty amazing for 30 mins. If I showed you what I could do in 30 Mins you'd laugh your socks off I reckon! Dont think I have ever made a card in 30 mins - perhaps we should have speed card making contest to get some of us moving...

Clare W
Morning Sue. Sorry to hear you have computer problems. There's nothing worse than not being able to use your PC and if its going to be fixed then you'll be without it probably for a day or two! I like this card but I think I'd prefer it with the borders! I may be in the minority about this but I would have preferred a flower or a bow. Love the white and blush card and that butterfly is gorgeous. Have a great day hugs Sonia x
Was just about to say that I loved the card but was not sure about the dark shadow lines you had added. Then I realized that the were proper shadows. Durrr.
As both your connections have gone at the same time it might be that the board that they are on is mot making a good connection with the mother board. Is any one in your household up to unscrewing the back of PC and re-seating them?
Wow! Delighted to be a winner,have admired your cards for a long time but have only just got an iPad and am able to join in! Hope you get your computer fixed soon.pretty card today .
Hi Sue simple but elegant is how i would describe this card and right up my street and no big bow yeh.

Hi Sue,
So frustrating when something with the computer goes wrong, we don't realise how much we use it until we don't have it so I hope you get sorted without too much delay. Todays picture highlights something I thought about during this week and that was that I don't use my edgeabilities enough!!
love from Jackie D
Hoping you can get y0ur computer probs fixed very soon and you can then skype to your heart's content.
This card is beautiful, love the white on white with accents of rose. Doesn't deserve the label of second choice.

Morning sue well im glad you have used this card as i think its really pretty and i like how you have just used a little of the rose card. Take care xx
Debs A
Are you bonkers? Why are you apologizing for showing a stunning card? Like I said before, very often, less is more. Quicky cards are more than welcome.
So glad you aired this card...its gorgeous.
PC issues....urgh !! Have them. I have started using those drives you can access from anywhere....stores stuff safely and you can get to them from any PC. Smartphone etc. I used Google on but there are plenty from internet providers to companies who make our browsers ....no need then for saving on a usb drive. Hope you get it fixed quick anyway.
Congrats to this weeks winners.
Hugs Sue H x
Morning Sue,

GM SUE,
Wat a stunning card Im having probs with my blog this morning it wont let me post my daughter says its having a rest coz its sunday lol maybe i will try later, i love that butterfly might try that later
Wish all my 30minute cards turned out so well!
This is a very pretty card Sue, though not necessarily my favourite choice of die, but it just goes to show what a difference turning the shape makes.
Hi Sue
Sorry to hear of your computer problems hope it can be solved quickly and easily for you.
Despite your reservations Sue, I love this card - it's beautiful. I love the pastel colours and all the embossing you've done really makes the card special the edgeabilities that you've cut and embossed in white. I love the pretty butterfly that you micro beaded ( butterfly's are always a winner for me and often get put on my cards ).
I wish I could make such a beautiful card in 30 minutes.
Thank you for your inspirational cards.
Hope you get to Skype your daughter soon.
Best wishes from Katie-Louise sweetlove x
Hi Sue,
I don't know why you 'probably' wouldn't have posted this had it not been for the computer problem. It's a very pretty card and I'm sure it would've taken ME a lot longer than 30 minutes to put together! I especially like the white tone on tone embossing effect.
Sue
I just love the tone on tone embossing on this card Sue. Congratulations to all the winners! X
Hope you get your problems sorted. This is a lovely card and I really like the butterfly.
Hi Sue

Hello Sue, A beautiful delicate card today, love the tone on tone and the enbossing, the butterfly is scrummy. You have nothing to confess, this card is worthy of an appearance on you blog, something like this would take me a lot longer than 30 minutes. Hope that you get the computer sorted soon and are back skyping with your daughter, it is so frustrating when the gremlins are about.
Congrats to the winners.
Have a great day everyone.

Good Sunday afternoon Sue - it is raining here in Cumbria, so it brightened my afternoon when I turned to your blog for inspiration. Beautiful card using one of my favourite embossing folders too and all done in 30mins you say. It takes me more than 30mins to decide what to use!!! Sorry you are unable to skype your daughter, but hopefully, not too long to wait for re-connection.
