Hi crafters! I really like the autumnal feel to this one, I hope you do too! I started with a piece of
milk card covered with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing off to expose the adhesive and I started to lay down a bunch of the
Swirly Leaf Trio dies cut in varying shades of greens, yellow and rust. I alternated the colours and the leaf style all the way around the edge of the card. Once I had filled it in all the way around, I glittered the remaining adhesive areas with
Diamond Sprinkles. I used my paper cutter to remove any of the leaves that were overhanging the edge. I cut a smaller piece of
milk card and embossed it with the
Dot Matrix Pinpoint Embossing folder and matted it on a slightly larger milk card mat. I added mounting foam to raise it and seated it in the middle of the background. I cut the inner die from the
Bora Bora in milk and added the inner die from the
Tahiti. I backed the
Tahiti cut section with the same shape cut out of the rust card. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the inner die from the
Fiji die set. I inked the edges lightly with
rusty hinge ink and added it to the centre of the card. I completed the card with milk and rust mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Wonderful card Sue, love it.
Tina, great choice of music for Peter, glad you are now settled with service, when is it? It has been a long process for you and Owen, I think of you daily.
Elaine, how did appointment go. I hope Andrews treatment is better this time, hugs to you both.
Maureen and PP, the visit sounded very regal, glad you both enjoyed your day. Love to Hobble and Wobble too.

Hi Sue
Wonderful card today and the colours are some of my favourite.
Heather R Oxfordshire
Morning Sue. Your ideas and inspiration is endless and always amazing, I'd give the world to be able to have just a quarter of your imagination and crafting knowledge, it always makes me wonder how you see your vision of the end result, this card is quite different (say from yesterdays) card - in a nice way that is, but i think im seeing so many new changes in the way you craft too and its amazing, we never know what you will inspire us each day - a Sue card with lots of gorgeous dies and a lovely big bow or something new and different, but each day brings so much inspiration and wonderful ideas, thank you.
Whatever your plans for the day hope it's a good one xxx
This one is a bit different to your usual cards but I love it. The colours are gorgeous.
Love the colours you gave used and how you have used the dies. Great card

Gorgeous card Sue, great use of these dies and love the autumnal colours, it makes me think of warmer days as it is very cold this morning.
Many thanks for your kind words Pam, I am waiting for the results of shoulder X-ray and an appointment for physio, it is really old age and things wearing out, but they are wearing out far to soon for my liking.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs Dawn Searle xxx
Today's card is brilliant-I love the idea & you could change the colours to suit the recipient.

Good morning Sue and crafters all,
Very unusual card Sue, love the way you did the background with the leaves falling off the page and such pretty colours.
Pam - glad you like the music the service is 26th - long time. Peter would have been 70 on 24th. We hope you are feeling better. Dry and frost free in Hull today.
June - so pleased your physio has ended, such a drag having to go to these places.
To all my crafty 'friends' including Sue herself
Owen and I send our love and hugs for all your kind words.
Love and crafty hugs to all

Good morning Sue,
A very different card for us today, will pass on this one. I love the design but I am waiting for Spring & Summer before I think Autumn.
Maureen and Yvonne I just knew your meet up would go well and last long. I have read all about it ... took a while to read!!!
Maureen is an absolute delight to be with, spending all that time together proves Yvonne is a delight to be with as well.
Have a great day everyone.

Hi Sue and fellow Sue admirers,
The last two cards were tough acts to follow. My heart might have stopped if this one had been stunning in the same way, so thanks for the breather.
Happy weekend to everybody.

Wonderful background, what a great idea. Fabulous card altogether. X

Best Wishes.

Hi Sue
Lovely colours and background on this card ,just beautiful.
Pam i only had my bloods and feet checked ? strange i usually have all my check in one go , oh well it will be another morning out in Feb . How are you feeling ?
Andrew had a long day and was tired , he phoned me to say "Mum Helen is now taking me home and then she is going to stab me" { injection } nice to know he can still laugh and have a joke .
Sending Hugs to all in need and special Hugs to my besties.
Elaine H X
Love the card and the ideas used.
Lovely Autumn card Sue x xhazel
Really like this card, Sue, at first glance that splendid background looks like a tapestry - will definitely be trying similar. Lovely colours.
PP and Maureen - fairly well behaved, then, apart from being almost chucked out! Sounds like a great meet-up. Pleased H&W doing well.
Echoing Pam again.
Hugs.

Hi Sue. Although this card is not really your usual style, we can still tell that it was made by you. Lovely colours for autumn and I am sure that by using other colours this card would work for any season.
Lisbeth
Morning Sue, a beautiful card as you say very autumnal love the colours. Hope everyone's weather not too bad I'm sitting at pool at the moment just waiting for sun to reach us.
Nancyd xx
Morning Sue,
A delightful autumnal card that you could use any leaf or flourish dies with. The technique so simple too. Love your colour combo.

Cheryl xxx
Hi Sue, well this is really different,very lovely, I love cards using nature.
Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall
Whilst not my favourite choice of colours, I do like the design of this card and can see it in my mind in a range of colours. I like the idea of using adhesive sheet to stick the fronds on and then glittering the rest. Wonder how it would look with ultra fine glitter as the background?
Teresa
Hi Sue, Very different card today. love Jean Z xxx
Good morning Sue I like the arrangement design of your card which could be adapted as needs be. Love from Jackie xx
Hi Sue
A beautiful card, and would work well in a different colour combination or monochrome.

Good Morning Sue
Love this card my first thought was Embroidery its so intricate!
Goodness me the Frost is thick again, but across the Downs the sky is Red with lots of trails from the Planes.
Hope everyone is ok and feeling the love and good wishes from the Blog!
Love Marg
Would make a great man card in this colourway but could equally see it done in pretty pastel shades for a more girly effect. Lovely idea Sue.
Have a great day all
Hugs

Stunning card sue the picture is beautiful but it makes you want to touch it love the colours and the sparkle thank you
Love always June horrocks xxxxx
Hello Sue,
Love the use of the autumnal colour dies, who'd have thought to do that - you would!!!
I'm still recovering from the Royal audience and it may take a while to calm down ha ha.
Dashing out to go to a funeral so love to all in pain, lonely or ill.
Maureen xxx
Gorgeous card, love all the dies making up the background x
Morning Sue, what a great way to use the Swirly Leaf Trio as a background instead of a finishing touch, love it. and a great colour combination.
Wendyx
Hi Sue,
What a pretty background you've made here with those pretty swirly leaf cuts and then some bling to finish it off...I'm sure it would work equally well with pastels or even a mono colour...
Izzy
What a clever idea for the background, Sue.
Anne (Northampton)
Morning Sue,
Lovely card, clever die use again.
Lydia

Hi Sue - this is such a clever design and another great way to use smaller die-cuts for the background. Could see it being used in other colours too for girlie cards. Sending best wishes

Loving this one
Good morning Sue
Well a lot of people seem to think this is a different card for you me included but I have to say I like it
At first glance it looked like a stamped background but on closer inspection the bling just makes it pop
Your inspiration is endless
I am today going to who Pam's comments about all our poorly and bereaved friends hugs to you all
Sam I Sam soooo glad you are ok thanks for letting me know ❤
Hugs to all that need one
Theresa G xx
Good Morning Sweet Sue, do you know when I first looked at your card I thought it was cross stitched, a brilliant effect, love it. hugs Shirleyxxx
Good morning Sue, a different style today but this also shows how versatile your dies are. Love the autumn colours you have chosen.

Hi Sue,
I too thought you'd stamped the background when I first looked at it. I really do like the card, love the autumnal colours you've chosen. Love and hugs to all, Alison xxx

Take care everyone, Jess xxx
Hi Sue. What a truly lovely card, I love the colours you have used. SueL x
Morning Sue, I love this card, really gorgeous !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is a different card today but that leaf has fairly got my head swirling with how to use it, even though we are definitely into winter Sue, this looks and reminds me of an autumn card.
Had Harry from the night before last and he screamed and better screamed the whole night long, falling asleep only when it was time to wake up as i had Rory to take to college, the wee midden that he was. I will be glad when all these teeth that are bulging at the gums finally break the surface as Edinburgh Zoo keeps calling me up to see if i'm there missing panda Sweetie. I keep telling them no and it's only because i've had a rough night and day that i have my panda eyes but honestly i'm not all furry or black and white, although seeing the face this morning i might be contradicting myself on that score.
PP, i''m glad that you had a lovely time with our Maureen but can i assure you here and now that we are honestly not all as daft as her despite what she may have said to the contrary, lol. I hope that her dress matched the occasion as she was so worried about which evening dress to wear with which tiara, lol.
Tina flower, what a great choice in music your Peter had, my first love changed me into a Jerry rafferty fan with Baker Street over 30 years ago and it is still one of my favourite pieces of music. Having seen how long my friend had to wait to have her fathers funeral i know unfortunately just how long and dragged out this process is and how much of a strain it is on the family to deal with. I wish there was more that i could do or say to you flower but sending you and Owen hugs to keep you going through this torture and sending up my little prayer for Peter.
Pam, have you been behaving and doing as the doc says? Please keep wrapped up warmly flower and i can recommend the new Ribena Spicy which has cinnamon in it as it you can actually taste it unlike the rest of the food that i have been trying to eat that tastes like cardboard. Need to remember and get another bottle as i am running out.
Well the rotten mist clouds have decided to pinch my lovely hills today and it is so dull here today that i won't wish anyone here but i hope that where ever you are it is a better day. sending hugs to Elaine, Andrew and Helen - i hope that Helen doesn't get to jag happy or practise her new found skills on poor Andrew too much. To all my lovely friends new and old on here i wish you a good day, sending hugs to all that need, want or could just do with some,
love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Love the leaves Sue! They look like they are embroidered on!
Big hug

Hi Sue this card is so different then your usual ones bul i like it and the colours are lovely for the Autumn.
Hugs Catherine.
Morning, Sue,
What a fantastic card. I love the colours you've chosen, they go so well with the milk card Base. Yes, it is very autumnal but somehow it seems to suit the winter season we're in right now😊
Bejay xx
Hi Sue
Oh I love this one. Cannot go wrong with leaves and trees in my opinion, my favourite things in crafting.
As this is a swirly leaf this would be great all year long as I feel it is not too autumnal in design.

Lovely background effect and gorgeous colours.

Love this card Sue! It's so different. Love all the intricately cut leaves. Theresa x
Hello Sue,
I really love today's card! I'd never have thought of using the skeleton in this way in a million years but it's just so effective! Thank you!
Maybe other leaf sprigs could be used in a similar way? You've got me thinking! Quite an achievement!
I'm so pleased yesterday's meeting of great minds went well! I thought you'd both get on well . Maureen didn't talk - ??? Impossible! Unless you took duck tape Yvonne! Diane she will kill you in March after that comment " for her age!"
Good to see you Norah! A panda with your hair would look amazing!! Or something!! Good to see you!
Love to all those who are suffering or looking after those who are in pain.
PP - hope you aren't too tired after yesterday and all your Nursing as well ! Love the new names!
Laine - missing you - hope you ok?
Thank you Sue and crafty hugs!
Love Myra xx
I like this set of Swirly Leaf Trio dies. Thanks for the inspiration for the placement of these die cuts and adding the Diamond Sprinkle glitter. Wishing you a a fantastic weekend.

The royal visit seems to have gone down well in a blaze of lights!

Hi sue.
Loving this card. Bought the normal leaves yesterday. Can't wait to give them a go. Endless possibilities as all ur dies are xx
Love the way you took the swirly leaf die and changed it to a design and not leaf veins. We all need to look & look again at our die collection to see new possibilities.
