Good morning! I just love the bright background with the black die cut flowers. This is a really easy quick card to make if you use the Matting Basics B die set for the frame. I started with the background and I inked a piece of coconut white card with distress inks. I used mustard seed, barn door and dusty concord and inked it in rows. I applied the ink quite liberally, then I decided that I wanted it to be a bit more diffused but still quite bright so I used all three colours and laid a stripe of each on to my craft mat. I spritzed it with water quite liberally then placed my inked card down into it. I pulled the card along to sort of mop up the ink. This allowed my background to blend, but still retain it's brightness. I dried it with a heat tool and stamped my sentiment in the upper corner. I cut several of the Asters and Poppies in black card. I nipped them a bit and added in extra flower heads here and there and tucked the stems under the edge of the frame. For the frame I used two sizes of the Matting Basics B set to cut the frame, then I added in an extra die and just embossed it into the frame edge for a bit more detail. I added a thin white mat to lift it a bit then did my final pierced mats to complete the card. This will work for any occasion so you can simply change the text to suit. Finished dimensions are 7" x 9 1/2" in size.

I love the silhouette flowers. Very effective. And the detail on the borders are lovely.
This is really lovely, love the background and the silhouette flowers, I can see this layout being really useful Will be watching later xx
love this, very vibrant ,gorgeous background
Lovely and vibrant, but 'toned down' perfectly with the silhouettes. Really enjoying your demos - thanks again.
Hi Sue,
This card doesn't do it for me - I think it's the pink in the background that doesn't sit right with me.
However, I LOVE the white version of them.
Looking forward to today' shows...
Lovely card. So looking forward to seeing you on C & C today. Ordered these dies on Friday, so have recorded all the shows for some ideas. I do have one question though, with the gilding flakes you get glue, but all i have seen Julia and youself use is the double sided adhesive sheets, why do you get this glue with them?
Sue
GM Sue - love this card - hope you will be demoing how to do this background today - it's fab. Will be watching your shows again today.
Played with the vintage floret dies yday - you are right what a difference the stamps make - I also put smidges of gold embossing powerder rounds the edges like you did on your card on 13th March and wowee!! really effective. Thanks so much for all the tips - they are wonderful

A very useful idea for the skyline, could be adapted to suit various times of the day, definitely one to try!
Saw this on the shows Sue and thought it was absolutely stunning-still can't afford the new sets but now thinking of buying one or two of them individually as the more shows I see the more i want them. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas,looking forward to todays shows,take care,x.

Happy St Patrick's Day Sue and to all your lovely followers.
This is a very striking card and the background is stunning. I love the technique you have used here. At first glance it looked to me like a black leather frame around a sunset picture, it's just gorgeous. I'm sitting watching a repeat of one of yesterday's shows, which is nearly over :-(
Congratulations to all of this week's lucky winners, well done ladies.
Have a great day Sue, I'll be tunned in at 4pm, see ya then.
Hugs, Michelle E xx

Good Morning, Sue,
Absolutely lovely card of the day.
Spent yesterday with Julia's shows (bonus hour incl), as well as ff your recorded shows from Friday.

Hi Sue, what a striking card!!! I really love this look. Looking forward to watching you later. Love Sam xxx
Good Sunday Morning Sue!
I love this card it give me the feeling of the Caribbean for some reason and as that's where I am off to later this year it cheered me on yet another grey wet day. I loved the way you softened the background I would not have thought about doing that. Very clever Sue! I have softened colour in the past by wiping a light film from my anti static bag or baby powder.
I am looking forward to your shows I decided repairing the dishwasher could wait the deal was too good to miss with 30% discount and flexi pay so bought both sets so my credit card has crept into the darkness of my purse again for a well earned rest bless it! :) It's all about priorities isn't it? LOL!
Congratulations to all our worthy winners in the draw - enjoy!!

Morning Sue, Just waiting for your shows today, recorder programmed, I should be home from Church in time for your first show, yippee. Loved all Julia's shows yesterday.
I love this card, the colours are so 'South African Sunset Sky' to me, really vibrant and mystical and with the black flowers in front, so dramatic. I really need the Matting Basics, they look a great time-saver, and make a fantastic frame.
Congratulations to all the Winners, enjoy your goodies.

Love this card...sometimes a puck mw up is what is needed...thus card definitely does it.
Ccongratulations to the winners.
Thank you for this card Sue. It has a very different feel to your usual cards and would be very flexible to use for all occasions. Such a dramatic background too and made with only three inks and a bit of water. Would look lovely in blues and greens I imagine. Must have a go. xx
This one is so different from usual but love the vibrant background and the silhouette of the flowers....definitely a winner!

Hi Sue,
This really stood out as something different on the blog and I love it. Have been run off my feet with work recently and so haven't left many comments recently but still drop in at least every other day to keep an eye on you! Also have a HUGE backlog of shows to watch - am loving the snippets that I have seen though. Hoping to make it to Ally Pally and to see you there. xx
Good morning Sue,saw this card on one of your shows and loved it then, a very simple but effective card. Must have a go at that background, but bet mine wont turn out as good as yours.... Hugs xx
Wow This is so different! I can not believe how diverse your cards are Sue - one minute they are pretty and gorgeous, the next they are so different like this one (still gorgeous). I wish I could climb into your imagination and see the dies like you do!
Hi Sue, I loved this card as soon as I saw it on your show and have actually ordered these dies as I can forsee many cards being made using them!looking forward to todays inspiration

A different look today, Sue, as you don't do many 'picture' cards. Love the vibrancy (calls out for a giraffe silhouette!) and also liked the white/duck-egg version of this on one of the shows.
Those basic rectangle dies are going on the list for when pennies allow. So many new dies, so little new money!!
'P' in Wales
Hi Sue What a bright and cheerful card for a dull Sunday morning! I am getting all my cores done so I can sit and watch you from 12 o'clock onwards. I hope you enjoy your shows and not too exhausted by the end of day. Take Care Love Michelle xxx
OMG what a striking card, imagine what the would look like with gilding flakes with 'Brighton Pier' against the black? I can't wait to see you on C&C today. The dies are fabulous and I want them all lol xxx Happy Crafting everyone xxx
Hi Sue, I absolutely love this card. Saw it on TV but now get to study it in close-up. I haven't bought yet, still trying to decide as I like some dies from each set but not all in each. Shame C & C don't let us have a 'pick 'n' mix' - any 10 dies for the price of the multibuy. I'm sure there would be lots of takers for this type of option. Maybe you could suggest it to them?
Congratulations to all of today's winners, enjoy your prizes.
Frances
PS I have reserved my copy of your upcoming DVD at the Papeterie, I hope there are lots of takers.
Stunning card Sue so love this one. Love the black flowers and the background colours xx hazel
Morning Sue, Now this is the Sue Wilson I love. As I am at home recovering from a knee replacement op, I have been looking back at shows I recorded from C & C. A lot of them are when you used Distress inks all the time. They were great to see. This card is fantastic and just like the ones you used to make. More, More please!!! Hugs, Carol S.xx
Oh this is georgous, Not what I expected this morning, but stunning.

Hi Sue, love the layout & design but the black is a bit overpowering for me. Tho I'm gonna try it with white & pastel shades of blue lilac & pink - I use my panpastels to get similar hued backgrounds as I find they are so easy to work with - its hard to mess them up lol! Thanks again for all you fantastic inspiration.

Hi Sue, what a truly striking card . Just beautiful. I haven't tried using distress inks for the background effect as yet but have used pan pastels, I will give it a go with the distress inks now I've seen your demo today . Lol Lynne M x x x
A sunny card for such a rainy day. Reminds me of hot summer evenings - have loved the shows. You certainly have worked hard, which I'm sure all your followers have really appreciated.

Good morning Sue,
Sorry missed this masterpiece yesterday as i was so busy. But, you must have read my mind on background as i was thinking the other day that the black silouette would look beautiful against the sunset. I thin this card is truely beautiful, although i am not normally a dark person, but love this card.
Take care, love and crafty hugs,
Norah
