Hi bloggers! Same die set as yesterday done a different way today. I have cut two of the Filigree Delight die again in a pale apple green, but this time, I have crisscrossed the orientation on them. I glued them to a piece of coconut white card that I embossed with my Tapestry embossing folder. I cut a wider white mat and stamped it with one of the Beaded Elements stamps using a clear Perfect Medium pad. I heat embossed it with white detail embossing powder for a tonal look. I matted it with a double mat of white card and used the Cosmic Shimmer White PVA glue to make dots all the way around the inner mat layer. I stamped my sentiment (which I love) and cut it out with the oval and decorative insert from the Radiant Rectangle set. I cut one of the smaller pieces from the Filigree Delight set, nipped it in half and used the decorative ends on the top and bottom of my sentiment as accents. I made some flowers out of white felt (from Sam Poole's online shop, she has the best felt!) using the Spiral Flower dies three and four for them. I mounted them in the corner with some white tulle. I added some white flatback pearls to the corners, the flower centres and to my sentiment to complete my card. I really like the way this one came out and I thought you might like to see another use of this die set too! Finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

What a pretty and fresh feel this card has. I am going through a bit of a green phase at the moment so it suits me down to the ground!
Needless to say the rectangles are on my wishlist and as it is my birthday this month I have my fingers crossed!

Good morning Sue,
My niece would love this card, lime green is one of her favourite colors. I love the design. Happy Friday, we still have sun in Kent.
GM Sue - fresh, crisp colour - makes me feel optimistic - or is the also because the sun is out and a Bank Holiday is only hours away - I wonder?!...

Hi Sue What a wonderful card, and love the colour so fresh. I have been away for 4 days and missed you so much that it is the first thing I had to do is check your blog. I have loved all the cards this week as well.

I hope you and your Mom are well. Take Care Love Michelle S xxx

Hi Sue. This is a lovely springy/ summery fresh card today. I love the apple green colour card. The centre made from the radiant rectangle set looks very pretty. I really need this set. I do like the filigree die set but it is not top of my wish list. There are other sets I want first. I have your tapestry background embossing folder and it looks gorgeous!! Epecially in the beautiful soft gold card. I am so pleased with it I could see myself using it a lot. I can't wait to see you on our tv screens again. Lots of love Tres x x x
Hi Sue, Wow what a difference using the dies in a different lay out and colour scheme. Looks like a totally different set of dies.
Alison x
Such a gentle palette and a lovely card!
Dear Sue
I just love this springtime themed coloured card.
I also love the way you have put the filigree frames at right angles to each other it looks great I'd never have thought of it!
Love the backgrounds both the embossing folder and the stamped and embossed background in white embossing powder.
The flowers are beautiful and really set the card off wonderfully.
Best wishes from Katie-Louise sweetlove

thank you for lifting my spirit most days......love the card sue
BUT evertime you mention a die they all shoot out of stock.
any chance you can chase up spellbinders for the die that's as rare as hens teeth [ radiant rectangles ] .out of stock is well imprinted on my brain lol
Love how you have taken the same die and used it differently, so many ideas..... thanks so much for sharing with us all.....
Amazing love the colour combo on this card.

What a lovely card.
Such a lovely card.
Awesome blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress
or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any tips? Many thanks!
