Hi bloggers! Hopefully the Die
D-lites that were ordered have arrived so I thought I would show one of my favourites from those samples. I did have a great deal of fun with this gate, but this happens to be the only card that I made using it as an actual gate! I decided on silver and white for my colour combo for this one. I embossed a piece of white card using the Pastorale embossing folder by Couture Creations. I cut out the two embossed strips from my card and backed them with a silver mat. I taped them to either side of my white background card. Next I cut two gates, one in white and one in silver. I nipped away areas on the silver gate that I wanted to use as "iron" accents and glued them atop the white gate. I glued the gate to the bottom of my card. Next I stamped my sentiment and embossed it with silver detail powder. I cut it out with the Petite Labels one die and used some brushed pewter distress stain on cut 'n dry foam to ink through the die. Next I cut out the Medallion Seven D-Lite in white, I adhered it to a piece of silky adhesive sheet and just cut out the background around it. I used the gunmetal polished silk glitter to fill in all the sticky areas that were exposed. I burnished it well with my finger and cut it in half with my scissors. I mounted each half behind my sentiment so it was peeking out from the back. I mounted it on the border on the side. I added some rhinestone swirls (from my stash) and then cut a Butterfly circle die out of white glitter card. I used the small fall away butterflies from the circle as tiny accents on the background of my card. I pierced the edges of my double white mat to complete the card. Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size! Don't forget to check out the sidebar today for the new auction card. Thank you so much to everyone that has been getting involved and bidding, I really appreciate your efforts! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
Lovely card very delicate silver and white. My dies are late! They should have been here on Tuesday according to their email. Knowing my luck this year they have gone astray! :(
I am looking forward at some stage to playing with the gate, bonsai and the pagoda most of all. I have lots of ideas but no dies! ROFL!

Good morning Sue, I love today's card, white on white is always beautiful and this is no exception. As some of the other ladies have said, this would be beautiful for a wedding card but I think it would also be lovely for First Holy Communion or Confirmation. I love how you have used the tiny butterflies from the circle die as accents.
Hugs, Michelle E xx
Hi sue stunning card love the white on white with a little silver the dies look great thank you tracy w x
Morning Sue,

Hi Sue. Love this card wasn't lucky enough to get the dies so have to wait a while but will buy and enjoy them when available soon I hope. Rita wig x
Hi Sue
Wow what a card. Some fabulous ideas you came up with for the gate. Thought the frame was the best. I did like the one where you used the bits you had cut off the gate.
Afraid my dies not arrived yet flower set with poppies and bluebels and aster in grrrrr.

Your cards are just always sooo sttunning, and I really had hoped, I had recieved the one I won in the first shows there, but even I have got packets from them twice now, I still haven´t got it??+ A bit disappointing, but I sure hope, it comes, as I will be sooo exited to have one of your gorgeous cards in my collection.
I actually just recieved all the dies yesterday, so I hope, I´ll get some playtime here in the holidays here. Just can´t wait he he.
Have a wonderful Easter to you and your family Sue.

A lovely card Sue. xx
Hi Sue. Very classy card. Still waiting for my dies. Expected delivery date 2 days ago. Boo hoo. SueL
GM Sue - lovely card - a must try! Love the teeny weeny butterflies - sp delicate - and love the Patorale border embossing folder - its just such a clever design as it looks right vertically and horizontally. I missed out on this when on C&C - left odering until it was too late - but managed to get it elsewhere eventually - lots of places had sold out so it must be extremely popular.

Hi Sue,
Really pretty card - how frustrating - have ordered this die but I am snowed in, my car is buried under goodness only knows how many feet of snow!!!!
Much love,
Shirley T. xxx
A special card for a special day! I love the gate, and it's great that you can add dimension but still be able to post in an ordinary envelope.
Hi Sue
I loved this card when I saw it on tv and have to say it is beautiful in close up detail. I really wish that I'd ordered both this die and the window but couldn't afford them as I really wanted the bonsai,vase and asters & poppies. My dies came last Thursday and I have been playing already - really like them.
It was a WOW card when I saw it on tv and an even bigger WOW now - just love white on white, it is so elegant and classy. A great card for weddings and anniversaries. YvonneMayxx
Morning Sue, gorgeous card, love the gate. Emma
Fabulous card Sue, the white on white looks stunning and those gates are just gorgeous. Pat x
