Good Sunday morning all! For today's card I was having a bit of a play with the black micro beads and ended up with this black and white card (again sorry for the rather greyish tinge to the pics!). I started by cutting the Butterfly Frame out of white card, leaving a wide border, but cutting the centre out of it. I covered a piece of black card with a sticky adhesive sheet and just cut the centre out of it to create a frame. I peeled the backing off and attached it to the back of the butterfly frame. I coated the top of the frame, which now had the exposed adhesive, with black micro beads for a textural look. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it for dimension. I used the centre from the Scalloped Lattice Frame set B and cut it in white and backed it with black card and seated the frame over it so it was recessed behind the opening. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the oval from the Mauritius and then used the decorative part of the same die to create a small tag for it to sit on in the centre of the frame. The card was completed with white and black mats. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Stunning card Sue, it's so lovely seeing the new dies showcased.
Tina, I wish Owen the best of luck in his new job, maybe a new challenge is just what he needs right now. You take care too.
Elaine, I hope Helen's back problem resolves itself soon. They have gone through so much this past year.
Dragonsnap, I love baby Lola's name, it's beautiful. Didn't Barry Manilow have a song about Lola. Enjoy your holiday with your friends.
Donita, you described your visit to Dad perfectly, I wanted to be there at those craft clubs. Next time perhaps . You are probably right about Robbies trip to the Grand Canyon but the boys have it all planned out, just hope Robbie gets plenty of rest during the travelling. He won't be phased though, he is so determined. Thank you for kind words yesterday they were lovely.
Lynda and all, I do wrap up well when going out as it is so cold, thank you all for your concerns.
My hugs to you all, especially missing friends.
Morning Sue, a gorgeous card.

Sunday Smiles to you Sue.
it's a lovely way to start the day, wake up my phone at 6am in anticipation of what will greet me and I'm rarely disappointed. Unfortunately I don't have these dies, and before launch I was determined that I would concentrate on all the Nobles I don't have as you addicted me to frames ! I still really need em, but you've just tempted me with such amazing new collections I have to re-evaluate what will sell and what will make my 'regular' customers smile, in time though (I hope) these will be a part of my stash. Micro beads, it's been far too long since I used mine so once I get back into my craft room I will wake them up from their hibernation. It's a really beautiful sample Sue and as always in real life the effect will look stunning.
Was thinking of you even more so recently, as I know it's been the first anniversary, so I send loving hugs and thoughts your way. Thank you for bringing daily inspiration with the perfect start to my morning xxx
Beautiful card. Love black and white. The butterfly frame always looks wonderful with any colour way

Black and white is always so striking, and this is lovely.
Morning Sue. WOW This is a stunning card. The butterflies frame die and the scalloped frame die are gorgeous. I have these but not the black micro beads but have the other colours so will make my own version of this card. Keep your fingers crossed i dont get my colours mixed up LOL.
Best Wishes.

GM Sue. I cut this butterfly frame only a couple of days ago and put black card behind it. Didn't think to use back microbeads but I will now!
A very smart, elegant card Sue. I used the butterfly die just yesterday on a special birthday card, a very pretty and useful die. Thank you. Xx
Morning Sue, another absolutely gorgeous card,love black and white. Even in my clothes I think black and white looks so smart .
I have some pots of micro beads including black that have been sitting looking at me for quite sometime so time to start playing with them.
Thank you for another lovely card ❤
Love and hugs to everyone, happy Sunday xx😍

Great card, Sue, don't have any coloured microbeads but can see a lot of ideas for different backings. Have some fairly 'refined' glitter sheets which could work well.
Hugs for Tina T and all our missing pals.

Dear Sue and fellow fans,
Between this and Saturday's card, I like Saturday's better, but maybe because I don't have these dies or microbeads.
Spent the day with my cousin at the gem, jewelry, fossil and mineral show.
Saw an amethyst geode the size of a hot tub. A slab of lapis lazuli the size of a television. An avenue of amber. Asked the price of a tanzanite and diamond ring. It was $13,000, and he asked how many we wanted!
Can't keep my eyes open. Used them hard all day. We'll see a little more Sunday.
Enjoy your Sunday and get some rest.
Love, Donita
Stunning Sue, I love the butterfly border, xxx
Hi Sue, stunning design, don't have any of these dies but you make me want them.
Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall
Another stunning sample
Good morning Sue.
I love black and white designs and this one is a stunning example why. The micro beads give a lovely texture and are a great alternative to glitter. X
Black and white is always classy
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous it is a lovely way to use the Butterfly Frame die. I must buy some black microbeads. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous card today, I love the way the frame is raised up with the arched scallops in the background. I wonder what this would look like with the ebony flakes, the ones like the Iced Snow, mmmmmm my mind is thinking now, see what you do to me Sue.
Hi Lynda's craft's, my knee is getting there, it aches sometimes but is no where near as painful as it was, thank you for asking.
Elaine, another 5 or 6 weeks for Andrew until the treatment is finished, fingers crossed it is good news. Helen I know what is like with a bad back, please take care and do as the Dr. tells you.
Tine and Owen, good luck with the new job, after 17 years you will certainly notice the difference.
Donita, the Grand Canyon sounds such a wonderful place, sadly I doubt if I will ever get there (unless my lottery tickets come up haha) but I do enjoy looking at the pictures and hearing about peoples experiences. The craft classes sound fabulous, lots of new converts.
Special hugs to everyone who need them, yes you know who you are.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue, another favourite style of mine ... Monochrome and technique used. It's beautiful. Keep warm, ivy x
Sue, I lurve this card. Definitely my type of card. Fabulous.
I'm a bit late this morning as we had a bit of drama in the night and ended up ring NHS 111. Everything is fine but I struggled to get back to sleep so I've just finished the ironing.
Baby Lola is gorgeous. My husband and I could only think of the Kinks when we first heard it but then my friend said she was singing Barry Manilow and it totally changed our perspective.
Crafty hugs to all.
D xx
Beautiful card-love the black + white colour scheme.
Michele
Morning Sue another fabulous card. Went craft shopping yesterday and got quite a few of your new dies some stamps and card blanks. Just easing into the day, is nice up I've got ironing then I can craft, need to get a gum ball machine die made for my nephews birthday ( that was my online spend when the dies were launched). I gave the first one I made a good tour round work and then to my sister for her birthday. The sweets didn't last long once my 2yr old niece figured how to get them out 🤗
Thanks
Donna

Goog Morning Sue
Your card this morning is gorgeous and the Butterfly frame is one of my favourites!
Only yesterday I cut out some butterfly frames in different colours ready to assemble so today I must search for some micro-beads to go with them.
Whilst I love your monochrome cards I am never too sure how they will be received so I tend to stick to colours most of the time when making cards for friends.
Thinking of you, Sue.
Lesley S xx
Hi Sue happy Sunday to you and all blog followers.

Looks very stylish Sue. x
Morning Sue and all,
This butterfly frame is so pretty. I love the sheen of the black microbeads - I've only ever used the clear ones and they give a very different effect. I can see I shall have to invest in a pot of black ones too...
Damp and foggy here in Gloucestershire today. So perfect conditions for tucking up inside, watching Phill on Hochanda and catching up on some crafting!
Hugs, Ruth x
Hi Sue,
A lovely card, I have the Butterfly frame, and it's a lovely die. Thank you for showing today, it does give us more inspiration for the different uses of the dies.
Enjoy your day

Will have to buy the butterfly frame now that I've seen your fabulous card. Like many others I only have clear micro beads but maybe I will have to invest in some black ones now. So, which die will I have to do without now? My list only ever gets longer. As I cross one off, another 5 are added. Thank you Sue for such wonderful inspiration. Hugs X P Austen
Gorgeous card Sue, the butterfly die will be my next purchase it's so lovely. Hugs Johanna
Hello Sue,
Great use of the dies today, thank you.
Donita, how many rings did you buy?!!
Dragonsnap, it's an age thing as I immediately thought of the song Whatever Lola Wants, from the film "Damn Yankees"!!! Glad all is well the baby and have a wonderful holiday with your friends.
Tina, my daughter changed her job after 26 years, and she now says - after 4 years in the new job - that she realises how happy she is now. I hope Owen is as lucky.
love to all

Stunning card Sue, I love the butterfly frame, it's on my

Rosemary xx
Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
Well flower i love this card whether it be in the cream and black that i am seeing, to the last picture showing the white and black in it's true form, another 2fer card. I love that butterfly frame, it is so pretty and with the scalloped lattice of the shadow box in the background. The black and white looks so chic, but the cream and black looks homely and comforting some how. THank you flower for a bonnie card to brighten up a rotten miserable wet day.
I have just watched a pigeon taking the daintiest of steps down the seam of the felt roof across the road and its standing at the top of the gutter wondering whether it should take off or just drop. Poor wee thing it looks so sad, but it's turned and went away back up the seam,not faltering to either side. It reminds me off when we were children and big children that walked along the kirb as if it were a balancing beam, and you tried to keep up there until your brother pushed you off and you would have to start again from the start because your stupid head couldn't let you just step back on it where you were.
Pam, Robbie is a marvellous young man who has defeated aversity and came back more determined than ever, i hope that he has a great time at the Grand Canyon and enjoys every site he sees. Your family are so proud of him and what he has achieved and he deserves that pride as some would have just lay down and decided a wheelchair was their life now. Whenever you tell us about what he is doing now, i get a warm feeling inside me just with the pride that i have for him and he doesn't even know me, but he is just so of an inspiration. He has to take pictures of his trip so that he can look back on them later in life and the fantastic adventure that he had.
Well sending hugs to Tina & Owen, good luck in your new job Owen, Elaine, Andrew & Helen and to all my lovely wilsonette friends that need, want or could do with them,
love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil Village)
Hi Sue
Love your butterfly frame with the black micro beads behind, funnily enough I hadn't thought of using black behind it too busy making bright pixie powder backings I guess !!
Caring hugs to you Sue and to all the wilsonettes who need one
Love and best wishes to everyone

A really beautiful card Sue, quite plain for you, no flowers, but nonetheless I am sure the micro beads must show up beautifully on the real thing....a great idea...thank you..luv Ursula xx
To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
Today's Card Is A Pure "Masterpiece"
"It's Extremely Exquisite, Elegant, Elaborate, Beautiful Monochrome Card"
As Your Aware I Just Love Black On My Cards It Makes The Look Amazing And This
Card Definitely Is Definitely That.
You Mentioned That The Photographs Were Not That Good But They Show Off The
Micro Beads Perfectly, And (The Last Photograph Shot) Just Before Your Bloglovin Button
Shows Your Card Off To Its Very Best In "Pure Black And Coconut White, With The Black
Micro Beads"
I Love How You've Used "The Splendid Butterfly Frame From Your Background Collection"
I Really Love How You've Used "The Outstanding Black Micro Beads" Just Fabulous
Then Once You've Cut Out Your "Butterfly Frame" You've Placed It On A Sticky Sheet
Cut Out The Centre, And Done The Above With Your "Micro Beads" Into The Exposed Areas,
You've Added "The Scalloped Lattice Frame Set .B." In White And Backed In Black Then Seated It In The
Centre Of "The Butterfly Frame" This Looks So Impressive, Adding "The Oval Die From The Mauritius Die"
Also Using "The Decorative Part From The Mauritius Die To Complete Your Sentiment"
The Card Size Is "PERFECT" As I Love Large Cards 8 x 8 My Favourite.
Sue Thank You For Sharing This Impressive Card With Us Its Just "Stupendous"
Thank You For My Daily Inspiration I Truly Appreciate It.
Sue Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather
Lots Of Love And Huge Hugs 🤗 To Yourself

Elegant and classic!
Interestingly, my iPad is showing all, bar the picture as black and cream which I rather like. The last shows up as black and grey! How wieird.
Regardless I like the design.

Love the Butterfly Frame and the black beads are a stunning addition! TFS!

Hi Sue, I love the Butterfly Frame and you have made a very striking card with it. I was not aware that there were black microbeads but even now I know I won't be buying any lol. I love the design and will try something similar using a different colour background and colouring my clear microbeads to match.
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday.

A stunner of a card design today. That's a lot of micro beads, but the look is awesome. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I especially like your butterfly dies.
Hi Sue, This card is gorgeous !! I'm loving the use of the black micro beads, it's a shame we cannot see the 'full' effect of the shiny beads, but we can see a couple of glimpses of the texture and shine, gorgeous !!

Hello Sue,
I'm a bit late today as we have been out all day!
I do love today's card and I prefer it when it shows as black and white! If I'd made it in any colours Id be chuffed to bits! Lol!
It's been a nice day here today but rather chilly now! We were promised rain but got none!
Donita - what a super holiday you are having! Did they have a ring in your size?? A very interesting day!!
Will try to be a bit earlier tomorrow - - no not 6am!!

Lovely card today Sue. I have the Butterfly frame and love it and use it a lot. Have the lattice die so will use that. Haven't used my black micro beads so must try this. Thank you for sharing.

How fabulous this card is. Beautiful butterflies and I think it is simple but incredibly stunning. When I get my cascading butterflies I might have to have this background as well. Oh decisions decisions x
I am sorry I didn't make it yesterday. It became apparent that my day of catching up on little jobs was not going to go as planned. I had lots of friends popping in all day. Being fabulous for the benefit of others all day is incredibly tiring so I was ready to climb into my bed quite early x
Today has been a long day as well so I just wanted to pop in briefly.
Tina - wish Owen good luck for tomorrow and I hope it all goes well for him x
To everybody else happy thoughts and lots of love especially to all my blog besties x
Take care

Beautiful card Sue. Do like your butterfly frame die very much and it's on my list to buy. Xx
Hi Sue. WOW !!! This card is so gorgeous !!! I got the Butterfly Frame Die for Christmas and I had actually planned to make a card with it tomorrow before I had even seen your card today !!! I had already got the die out and all the bits I needed !!! I love the black micro beads you have used. I was thinking of using a periwinkle blue card backing covered with a sticky sheet, with a coconut white butterfly frame, and iced snow glitter to fill in the exposed areas. I love how you have used the scalloped frame in the centre and the Mauritius dies for the sentiment. It is all gorgeous !!! I love the colours you have used to. I really love both black and white and black with cream colour combos. I think your card is very classy and elegant !!! Thank you.
I have to say I really loved yesterday's card and video to. It is really beautiful Sue. Such a wonderful creation. The video is fab and I love your idea of cutting two of the matching tag dies into the background and using a third over the top containing the sentiment. A great colour combo to with beautiful Nasturtium flowers !!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful card. Sending lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
