Hi crafters! First off, I do apologise for the shadowed photos. I have really been struggling taking pictures in the winter lighting. This card has been made with wisteria and white card so hopefully with that in mind, you can enjoy the card (no matter what colour it ends up looking like on your monitor! LOL) I started this card by cutting the
Belgian Background in
wisteria card and backing it in white. I cut it in half and then put the two ends together and nipped out about an inch more of it, reassembled it so I had a square (more or less). I cut another square out of
coconut white card and added the four white outside
corners from the Belgian Collection. I added the square background in a diamond orientation on top of it. I stamped my sentiment in black on white card and used the inner cutting dies from the
Bruges and Brussels die sets to cut a thin frame. I sprayed it with glue and coated it with
Diamond Snow. I glued it over my sentiment and trimmed away the excess card. I cut the inner decorative die from the
Bruges set to seat it on and added the decorative die from the
Antwerp cut in half to the top and bottom. I added it to the centre of the background and accented it with several small
Exquisite poppy dies inked with
Chic Viola. I cut a larger square of white card and ran
double sided tape around the edge and coated it with
Diamond Sprinkles and added the topper to that. The card was completed with white and wisteria mats and layers including my usual pierced top layer. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size.
As promised, the winner of the 2016 Orphan cards is:
Lorraine Eastwood!!!

Fabulous card. I like to photograph some of my cards in case I want to make again and I too am struggling with shadows. I'm sure we can all see beyond that to the lovely card.
Congratulations to Lorraine on winning the orphans - I'm only very jealous!
Hugs to all.

Hi Sue, when and where will you be visiting Australia in 2017 please? I have heard you will be here but don't quite know where .... Thanks for the update.
Morning Sue - try again !! I'm loving this card. Diamond sprinkles and iced snow are my go to favourite bling. I see no shadows there again my knowledge of photography is zilch !
Many congratulations to Lorraine on the arrival of your new orphans I know you'll all be very happy ☺ xx
Sending my usual daily hug to you Sue xx
Dear Sue and her jolly band of bloggy crafters,
Lovely for a winter birthday. Hard to replicate with just one set from the Belgian collection, but I appreciate the reminders that we can adjust the shape of a background and that the inner cutting edges of two sets in the same collection can be used as nesties to frame the sentiment.
What would a subscription cost per month to just have every die shipped as soon at they come out? About as much as I should be saving for retirement, I'm guessing.
Pam, how do you manage to be first every day!?!
Good morning to everyone in UK. I'm about to fall asleep listening to BBC in US.
Donita in Rhode Island.
Yet another fab card, these dies are in my wish list.
Annette x
Good morning Sue. Gorgeous card, love it when you make a new shape by cutting up a die cut and the wisteria is a favourite colour.
Tina, sorry that Peter isn't good. Laine, congratulations on winning the orphans. Hugs to all. Sue xxx

Morning Sue gorgeous card in my favourite colours, short post as my husband has early Doctors appointment, so off to scrape the ice off of the car. He is on crutches after knee replacement surgery and now has ingrowing toe nail on the same leg. He is unable to drive for six weeks.....but I think he enjoys having a maid and being waited on haha but I am worn out xx
Morning Sue, Another lovely card. Congratulations to the lucky orphan cards giveaway. Lucky person! You can't have too much bling on a card and I love the effect that diamond sprinkles give. I haven't any problem with shadowing on your photos as I'm too busy looking at the details of the card itself.Love the wisteria colour. Hugs xxx P Austen
Good morning Sue,

I have been asked for an update on Andrews progress so i will try to make it short.
He now has a blood clot in the lung, so is having 1 injection every day for 6 months then
yesterday he was told he has another substance like cloud higher up,they are not certain at this stage what it is ,it could be shadow from the clot.So another scan in 3 months
Now for the good news the Chemo is working and it is shrinking, Yeaaaa , so today he is having another treatment then that leaves 5 more to go .
Thank you my friends for your support and prayers , please keep them coming as they are working , and i am sending big hugs to you all .

Hi Sue, a stunning card. So delicate, intricate and pretty. I love the colours, the dies you have used and the pretty glittery border. Congratulations to the very lucky winner of your orphan cards.
Hi Sue, no bother with shadows, the card is still beautiful. I love wisteria and white. The wee poppies are so sweet and the extra sparkle around the edge just finishes it off perfectly.
Tina T - sorry I missed your post yesterday but glad to see today that Peter has eaten something and hope he can manage some more today. Special hugs for you both.
P Pixie - hope your mum is ok, hugs for you both as well.
Elaine H - thanks for the update on Andrew - onwards and upwards!
Laine- Congratulations, there will be no stopping you now lol. I just hope Brodie and Darcey don't become jealous of your new babies. Pippin has forgiven me and his lovely gentle nature has not changed. He is not too sure about the night-time curfew but is beginning to get the idea :-)
Must go and defrost the car now as I have to take hubby to the doctors. The sun is shining brightly on Norah's hills but hasn't quite reached my corner yet. Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful card today, the colour looks fine on my PC, but I know what you mean about taking photo's I am the worlds worst at it.
Congratulations Lorraine, you will enjoy your orphans and I am sure will find them a good home.
Physio was OK yesterday, well I say OK, have you seen that advert where the lady is doing a workout and ends up sweating all down her tea-shirt well that is what I felt like, talk about hilarious, still hopefully only 1 more session to go.
Thinking of Elaine, Andrew, Tina, Peter, Pam, NannaTina, and anyone else who needs a special hug.
I see from the blog that you may have plans to travel to Australia Sue, well I could be your chaperone if you wanted, I could help do some of your cutting out and preparations, xxxxx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Love the wisteria card. It's such a pretty colour. I really like how you manage to use different die sets together. X
Good Morning Sweet Sue, another beautiful card this morning and its so difficult to get the right light for taking photos so we sympathize with you. I love all the dies youve used. hugs Shirleyxxxxxx Guess what even though it was frosty this morning the sun is out now.xxxx
Hello Sue,
Another bright sunny day in this corner of Lancashire! It's a bit chilly but much better than rain, fog or snow!
A beautiful card to go with the beautiful day! I , too, love Wisteria and white and the little flowers are delightful! If I could sit down with you Sue I'd chat, because I can't help it, but I'd also love to have just your flower ideas shown to me! That sounds as if I don't like anything else - you know that isn't true - your flowers are gorgeous!
Laine - I have a big smile on my face! I'm so pleased for you !! The orphans have gone to a very good home where they will be treasured!
Enjoy! You have hit the Sales!! Well done - some great bargains around at the moment!

Love the card today Sue. The colours are really pretty and show off the layers beautifully.
I'm spending the day reorganising my craft room a tiny bit to make space for the new stuff I had for Christmas. I did manage to make my Husband a card for his birthday (on the 9th) using the lattice background set he bought for me. It's every bit as lovely as I expected it to be.

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
Whoopeeeee! I am still on cloud nine after discovering that i am about to become the proud adoptive mum to Sues little orphans.....I couldn't quite believe my bleary eyes this morning, it came as a real surprise because I'd totally forgotten about the announcement but boy did I screech!, my Mum had to literally scrape me from the ceiling:-) Thankyou so much for your many congratulations, its much appreciated....i havent heard from Yvonne since my win, she's keeping a low profile understandably now that i have unrivalled no. 1 status with Sue, whether this affects our fragile friendship remains to be seen, watch this space:-)
Back to the main event though, today's card which is truly a vision of loveliness. How refreshing to see the Belgian Collection make an appearance again, i love the square lines of this card, I don't make nearly enough of this shape, and the glittery border just oozes class. I wish that i had an ounce of your flair Sue, boy, i would be dangerous!:-)
After the early morning excitement i was left to calm down and prepare myself for a trip into Stirling....among other things i was taking a silk summer dress in to be dry cleaned. I came across it in a plastic carrier bag on top of the Christmas decorations box, a nice surprise because I don't even remember buying it and goodness knows how long its been languishing there!....if ever there was a sign that i have too many clothes then this is it:-)
Popped into M&S for some food and was relieved to see that the selection was back to normal, no more monster packs of parsnips an∂ brussel sprouts thank goodness! Glad to be eating normally again, all that rich food can get a bit too much after a while. But would you believe they already have the Easter Eggs on display!!??!? Has the world gone mad?
Elaine, poor Andrew, i know how he feels, i had a number of blood clots on my lungs and had to have the daily injections too. If Andrew has difficulty administering the needle then they do have a pill that you can take instead, i was given it for the final 2 months of treatment and it was much easier. So pleased his tumour has reduced, its wonderful news:-) Please keep us up to date with his progressxxx
Tina, how encouraging that Peter managed some food, i hope it continuesxxx
Frances, persevere with Pippin because he's much safer at home during the night. Darcey used to have a cat flap in my old flat and could wander in and out to her hearts content but when i moved in with my Mum i decided to keep her in during the night and apart from the odd hiccup in the summer months she has adapted quite well and i get to have her cuddle in bed with me which is cool.
Wheely, hope you are okay and not suffering with those pesky migraines. Sending love to you and Billyxxx
Yvonne, so sorry we couldn't chat tonight as planned, hope you get the rest you so desperately need and that Mum improves soonxxx
Sending cuddles to my besties, Maria, Pam, Pat, Myra,Maureen, Tracy,Deb C, Theresa, Lynda, Alison,Norah,June and anyone i have forgotten. Cuddles to anyone feeling down, ill or caring for a loved one and hugs to everyone in generalxxx
