Hello there my crafty friends! Silver and milk card for today's offering. I like this combo as the milk card gives it just a bit of a soft vintage feel. I started by double cutting the
Seychelles decorative die horizontally into a piece of milk card. The dies slightly over lap in the centre but that part will be covered so not to worry. I backed it with silver card to show through the decorative cut out areas. Next I cut the edger from the
Blossom Edger set in silver and backed it with milk card. It did need to be extended on both of them, but it lines up quite easily to do this. I glued these to the top and bottom edge of the card. Next I cut another
Seychelles die out of milk card, backed it with silver then cut the inside out to create a frame. I stamped my sentiment and embossed it in silver then covered it with a s
ticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing off then attached the frame over it before sprinkling
Diamond Snow on the exposed adhesive. I mounting this piece vertically in the centre of the card. I created three flowers using the
Exquisite Poppies die set, edged them with a silver paint pen then attached the around the sentiment. I accented the larger flower with
cream tulle and
Olive Branches. Milk and silver mats and layers were added to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Happy Friday to all. Beautiful card Sue, just gorgeous.
Elaine, I'm hope Andrews treatment can go ahead soon, this delay must be such a burden but it is fior his health and wellbeing. So glad you have good doctors looking after him. You story was so heartbreaking but I think it is wonderful to preserve them for the future generations.
And it wasn't too long.
P, so sad to hear you lost Harry. You and he put up a good fight but he us out of pain now and he carries your love with him.
Maria hope the problem with your eyes clears up soon, have you had them checked.
Carmen, love your motto on life, smiles cost nothing and can mean so much, you never know how other people are coping really.
June, have you worked your magic yet, he us teasing you.
Laine, I need you to come and dirt my dies out, your fetish will be over fed then.
Hugs to all,especially our poorly and missing friends, Norah, Tina and NannaTina, Wheeley, Maureen.
Such a beautiful card.
Morning Sue.
Thank you so much, what a beautiful card.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hello Sue, a beautiful and very elegant card, love the colour combo, and the design/layout. Have a great day all. Bx
Morning Sue. This is a gorgeous card. Have never tried milk and silver card together as i was always told to put cream and gold or silver and white together but the milk and silver gives it a warm look to it. Lovely flowers. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Best Wishes.
Denise T x
What a stunning way to end the week. The last two photos show the true colour mix you chose, again the first couple looked custard and silver, either colour way shows the beauty of your design and dies used. It's a really beautiful SW work of art. As for the sentiment - it comes back to you Sue just for being you xx
Sending our two out for the night so they can have mummy & daddy time alone, so as I'm staying over I shall be later popping in tomorrow but nothing will keep me away from this beautiful craft heaven.
Hope your day is a good one Sue. Sending friendly hugs your way xxx
A beautifully elegant card, Sue, love it all (especially poppies!)
Have read all the family stories and been moved by many, such different times and hard to imagine how everyone coped. Think we generally have it so easy now.
Echoing Pam again - and thanks to all for lovely Harry messages, such a special boy.
Just the Dude to have tooth op next week and old Molly in for a dematt as she doesn't groom any more and hates being brushed. Then hopefully that will be it for a while.
No more of Sue's dies at the moment, just vet's bills!!
Have a good weekend everyone. sending hugs. Keep safe, Donita and Carmen.

Morning Sue, beautiful colours for a gorgeous card.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a beauty you have created for us today, antique and silver, what a brilliant combination, the dies really do bring this to life and the silver round the petals make the flowers pop, love it. Sue, I watched John's show last night, he did you proud with all the dies and other products on the show, looking forward to seeing todays offerings.
Pam still working at it, but I think he might be weakening!!!
Elaine, pleased that Andrews treatment can continue, it has been a very hard road but nearly there. Interesting reading your story and can relate to it so easily, just goes to show what desperation can do, at least the family did not starve on that day. Wonderful idea to write it all down for generations to come.
I also reiterate everything that Pam has said.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue

Good morning Sue,
A beautiful and elegant design that would be great for lots of occasions by simply changing the greeting. X
Love the pretty combination of dies, and the colours are very classy x
I have never tried this colour combination either, so must give it a try, as it looks lovely. Thank you.
Morning Sue Wow!! What a beautiful card love the colours you used and the edger finishes it off .
Catherine xx
Wonderful card! A really lovely card design and colour combination, the milk and silver card work so beautifully together. Debra x
GM Sue. Great card. Love the edger and the flowers of course!
Good Morning Sue, beautiful card this morning and love how you have created the cards with the dies. The milk and silver looks elegant and the finishing touches are stunning.. Wendy
Beautiful card, would be lovely as a wedding or anniversary card.
Michele
Dear Sue and everyone getting to the weekend,
So lovely!
Sophisticated and elegant. Reminds me of a lamp brand that used to advertise in the New Yorker. The ads were cartoon drawings like the New Yorker scatters through the magazine. In one, a husband is saying to his wife: "What do you mean, the lamp is the only thing in your life that feels like it has the proper proportions?"
Somehow, your cards always look just right, like they were inevitable. Mine often look a bit off and I usually can't figure out why.
On the way to work Thursday after mailing the St. Patrick's Day card, I realized that shamrocks have three hearts and four-leaf clovers have four. Oh, well, her card got lucky four-leaf clovers rather than St. Patrick shamrocks..
Enjoy the weekend!
Donita
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous I love the design and the dies are amazing. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie

Hi Sue
What a beautiful card today, yes the milk and silver work really well together don't they. I'm another one that would gave gone fifty gold but it's lovely to be taken out of that comfort zone knowing this will work too. Beautiful dies and gorgeous poppies with a bit of sparkle, what more could we ask for. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam as usual you have put everything we need to say. Xxxx
Donita I missed your comment about your lawn yesterday morning but had a good chuckle when I read back. I know exactly what you mean living next door to retired people who love tending their gardens. We are the poor relations on the corner who only cut their grass when we have time!!! Xxx
Hi Sue and everyone
Lovely card. I have the Seychelles die, but not used on a card yet. Love the colours used and of course the poppy die.
John did a great job last night, your hearts really are wonderful. Looking forward to more today.
Carmen, be great if you could make Ally Pally but it really would be a mammoth journey. I travel 200 miles to go and I think that's more than enough. I love your motto about the smiles, very true.x
Maria, yes my shoulder op was a fortnight ago yesterday. It went really well, it's still very painful but definitely improving. Have more physio on Tuesday to look forward to....thanks for asking. X
Love Helen xxx
Maia sorry forgot to say I hope your eye problems are soon sorted x
Helen xxx
Love the delicate details of these beautiful dies!
Morning Sue,
Just beautiful, so elegant.

Hi Sue,
A truly elegant card and I really like the milk and silver combo - silver and white can sometimes look too cold for my tastes so this is perfect and I also love the way your die designing is evolving and that you're giving us separate outline cutting edges, it means we can do so much more with the decorative inserts...
Donita - I'm sure your friend will appreciate your St. Pat's card even if you did mix up your shamrocks with your clover!...lol
Izzy
Hi Sue
Stunning again and I really must get this range of dies...Its been on my wish list for a while and having seen some of the recent posts think I have to use that flexible friend or grovel to the bank manager and splurge. Again thanks for the fabulous inspiration....
Lovely card again today, Sue. I got your chrysanthemum die set yesterday at the NEC so hope to have a play with it later today.
Anne
Morning Sue
Gorgeous card,the silver looks good with the milk card & my favourite Poppy's
Lovely morning here hope everyone has some sunshine,
Best wishes
Karen M
It really does make a soft effect - something I will try I like how you've used the inner die to create the background
Hi Sue - this colour combination really works. The poppy dies always make pretty flowers and I like the way you have edged them. Looking forward to watching/recording the rest of John's shows today. Best wishes

Doreen x
Hi Sue,
Oh my, a fantastically understated, yet marvellous creation to feast my eyes upon this sunny Somerset morning. Silver and milk? I would not have put those two together for a colour combo but I can see they work so well.
Note to self, be more adventurous with colours.
Elaine, so lovely to read part of your history too, stealing the bread was an act of desperation so you didn't starve. Our younger generations have so much, they wouldn't understand how hard it was for our past generations to survive.
Andrew must so relieved to have his further treatments. He and Helen have had so much to deal and come with, I admire them so much. ((((HUGS)))) for them and for you too.
Comfort blanket hugs to all. I hope your day becomes kinder to you.
Love 7 hugs
Cheryl xx
Good Morning Sweet Sue, a beautiful card today I love the way youve cut into the background and that soft colour choice is gorgeous. hugs Shirleyxx

Thank you again for all your inspiration.
Take care everyone, Jess xxx
Just love this, beautiful, elegant etc etc.
Hi Sue
Beautiful elegant card and while I don't have the Seychelles die I'm sure I can find another of your dies which will work to make this. Love the touch of silver on the exquisite poppies

Hi sue and crafters.
Lovely card this morning. Would be great for several occasions. Really do adore those poppies although I don't own it yet lol. X
WOW Sue, this is absolutely stunning!
June x
Hi Sue, a beautifully soft and gentle card today, lovely. I really must try some 'double cutting' as it gives such a different dimension to your dies.
A miserably wet day here but it's knit and natter this afternoon so that will brighten things up a bit. Hope everyone has that good Friday feeling and are looking forward to the rest of John's shows.
Frances
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Feminine, delicate and very elegant in the milk white and silver.

To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
I Truly Love Today's Striking Card I Love The Impressive Cutting Dies You Used
Also The Truly Tremendous Colour Combination Of Milk/Silver Foundation Card.
Products Used In Today's Card:-
"The Seychelles Decorative Die Set"
"The Blossom Edger Die Set"
"The Exquisite Poppies Die Set"
"The Olive Branch Die Set"
"Milk & Silver Foundation Card"
"Silver Embossing Powder"
"Sticky Adhesive Sheet"
"Diamond Snow"
"Silver Paint Pen"
"Cream Tulle"
"Pearls"
Today's Luxurious Card:-
I Just Love How You Cut Your Milk Card To The Size You Required, The You Took
"The Seychelles Die" And Double Cut It Horizontally Across Your Milk Card, The Dies Do Slightly Overlap
But Sue As You Explained To Us, This Isn't A Problem As This Is Going To Be Covered.
Sue Next You Backed Your Milk Card With The Silver Card, So It Would Show Through The Decorative Cut Out
Area's. Sue Then You Took "The Blossom Edger Die" And Cut It Out In Silver And Backed It With Milk Card
Cutting This Twice On Both Occasions You Will Need To Extend But As You Mentioned Its Really Easy To Do.
Then You Glued One To The Top Edge Of Your Card And One To The Bottom Edge Of Your Card,
Sue Then You Cut Out Another Impressive "Seychelles Decorative Die" Out Of Milk Card And Backed In Silver
You Cut The Inside Out So This Created A Luxurious Frame, You Then Embossed Your Sentiment In "Silver
Embossing Powder" You Covered This With A "Sticky Adhesive Sheet" (As You've Mentioned So Many Times
Always Keep Those Small Pieces) Once You Peeled Away The Backing Then You Attached Your
"Seychelles Frame" Over It, You Then Sprinkled Using "Diamond Snow" Sue Then You Created Three Extremely
Impressive Flowers By Using Your "Exquisite Poppies Die Set" You Edged Them By Using A "Silver Paint Pen"
You Attached A Small Flower To The Top Of Your Sentiment On Top Right Hand Side, You Used "Cream Tulle"
And "Olive Branches" To Embellish Your Remarkable Card, You Added The Large Flower On The Knot Of
"The Tulle" And The Other Flower To The Side In Left Hand Corner, Then You Added Your "Olive Branches"
A Few "Pearls" Here And There, Attaching This To Your Mat/Layering Of Milk/Silver Card
Plus Your Signature Piercing.
And So They Say Voila' We Have A Sue Wilson "Masterpiece"
Thank You So Very Much For Sharing, And For Your Daily Inspiration I Truly Appreciate Everything You Do
Sue Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather
Sue Lots Of Love And Huge Hugs 🤗 For Yourself
Love From Sam xxx

I see lots of wonderful 'elements' in today's offering but it doesn't 'float my boat' the way most of them do. Really like the silver-tipped poppies :)
Gosh not two colours I would have thought putting together, but so so stunning, an amazing card Sue, just love it....luv Ursula xx
Hello Sue.
Pretty Card. I like the die and the effect you have created. I about the vintage look to the milk and silver colour scheme. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Afternoon Sue, I love this colour combo, this is a beautiful card.
Love Rosemarie X X
Great idea to give the impression of a large die as the background when it will not be showing once the top cut of the Seychelles die is in place. An elegant card for a special occasion. BarbaraC
Very pretty color combo! I love how you have stretched the die to make it larger! I love being able to use my dies in other ways because then I feel better about spending the money on them! LOL At least that is what I tell myself! Have a great weekend and TFS!
Fabulous card Sue xx love the colours you've used xx love Kim D

A very pretty card Sue and an imaginative colour combo
Hello Sue,
How clever to use the Seychelles dies as a background and focal point, it looks stunning. Love the milk and silver combination, it's so much softer than white and silver and looks so elegant. I have enjoyed Johns shows today, he really does showcase your dies beautifully and I have fallen deeply in love with the Infinity striplet, so that's now on order! Sue you are costing me a fortune!!
Donita your friend will love your card however many "leaves" it has.
Laine if you are speaking to Yvonne this week please send her lots of love and tell her she is missed, hope she is ok.
Pam thank you for your daily catch up.
Love and hugs for all
Saba xxxx
Hi Sue Wow what a beautiful card I was wondering what the background die was until I read your notes clever use of the Seychelles die to create the background the poppies look so beautiful with their silver edge its all just lovely Ive been watching some of Johns shows today the heart dies are all fabulous I will probably end up buying them all as I just cant choose a favourite! In fact Sue your last collection of dies are all fabulous I just want them all!!
Hope you and all the lovely Wilsonettes have a good weekend
