Hello crafters! Today's card giveaway is another little number featuring the New York Collection dies! I started with the background and embossed a piece of periwinkle card using an older folder called Knotted Trellis for a bit of texture. To the top and bottom edges of it, I added two New York borders, one in milk card and then a black shadow version behind it, slightly offset. Next I cut the centre square from the Times Square set. I cut it twice in milk card and twice in black card. Again, I used the black die cut as a shadow and slightly offset it behind the milk version. I glued both of the to the side of the card. For the central element, I used the Madison Square cut in black and cut into a frame. For the centre of it, I cut the smaller square from the set in milk card and added mounting foam to the edge. I stamped my sentiment and seated the entire piece over it in a diamond orientation. I added it to the centre of the card so it was slightly overlapping the side elements. I created a two tone Camellia flower out of a vellum base and a black edge. I seated it on a blue and black ribbon bow at the bottom of my focal element. I paper pierced the edge of a piece of milk card, then added a thin periwinkle and black mat. The card was then finished with a wider milk mat and pearl accents on the die cuts. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" in size. If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this one, just leave me a comment and check back on Saturday's ost to see if you are a winner! No April Fools joke here! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
What a pretty card to share with us today, the New York dies have so many uses, I really love mine and find myself going to them time and again. I can see what Mrs Duck means by a frilly garter. So pretty and such a lovely colour too. Well I'm off to the dentist today for a root canal filling, oh how I wish it was a joke and I didn't have to go!
Enjoy your day everyone.

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. So intricate and delicate. I love it.
Shadowing with dies is not something I have played with, with the amount on this card does it make it "top heavy" and topple?
This is really pretty!
Hi Sue
Beautiful card gorgeous....

It's amazing the versatility these lovely dies can achieve. Love the way you've taken portions of each set & layered with dual colors to create this very feminine & beautiful card for April 1. Love these dies.
I'm new to your blog and want to thank you for sharing your talent for card making. The cards are simply beautiful.
Love the little black and white flower on this one - just too cute! Susan x
Hi Sue, there seems to be a lot going on with this card and I think it is one I would need to see 'in the flesh' to really appreciate it. I absolutely love the vellum flower though and will definitely try this myself.
Happy Birthday Pam, I hope you are spoiling yourself and having a good day.
Frances
What a beauty, Sue! Your head must always be
spinning with new ideas for your cards. This
one is no exception! Love it!
This combo works so well! Love it. That blue has enough personLity that it is not intimidated by the black. I think I'm finally losing my marbles, hugs xx
Great looking card...the small amount of black really pops off the card...
Well done Sue
Hi Sue, the blue works so well with the pop of black in this delightful card, love from Jackie xx
Hi Sue,
What a stunning card just love it
Haven't managed to get the Periwinkle card yet!
Hi Sue, lovely card today. Like the way you did the offset with black and also the vellum with the camellia flower. Take care of yourself and don't overdo. Have a wonderful day.
I don't like the colors in this card or the dies you used. Too fussy...... April Fools! Hope your day is GREAT. All my best, Gail

Good afternoon Sue and the fabulous Wilsonettes,
This card has that panoramic view to me Sue today and i don't know what is giving it that look whether it is the New York Square dies or whether it is the bit of black that is running through it, but it is different and could possibly be a close contender for the impossible people in our lives as it is that bit different. I love the shade of blue that you have chosen to use today as it is a summer blue and brings on hopes that the snow that has fallen on my beloved hills is just a temporary glich in the weather. It was just a fine dusting on Monday morning, then a wee hit more yesterday but this morning my hills were absolutely covered in snow that made you wonder whether it was seriously the 1st of April. I think the weather was playing the biggest April fools joke somehow. Well i have got my outfit all sorted for my wee cousins wedding and my special neices wedding so i just need to think what it going on with the hair to keep the titfer on my noggin but knowing me it will be a french plait as per usual as that is the fanciest my hair goes. I have the hair for a big picture hat with the hair flowing down at the back its just a pity i didn't have the face or the height for it. I seen a lovely style of hat,(Audrey Hepburn style) but it covered the face, there again that might not have been such a bad idea. Any way i will try it all on and let she who must be obeyed look and see what she says to it, so fingers crossed.
Sending hugs to all my lovely Wilsonette Angels both on blog and not at the moment, i hope they are on the road back to recovery soon
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (glenochil)
Great card the New York die is so versatile.
