Hi crafters! I debated on showing this card as it got a bit damaged in transport. I tried to flatten it out, but it still has a bit of a wavy look to it, but I don't use green very much and thought it might be a welcome change. I started by cutting the
Pacific Ocean Borders into the sides of a piece of
coconut white card. I backed it in white for a tone on tone look. For the focal point, I cut the
Swirly Vines Background out of green card from my stash. I backed it in white and cut the centre out to create a frame. I added mounting foam to raise it. I cut the
Delightful Daisies in white to use in the frame. I stamped my sentiment on a separate piece of white card and added a very faint blue cloud like background around it. I attached the daisies inside the frame and added the backing with the sentiment. White on white mats were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Beautiful card Sue, love it. So pretty and feminine,
P, will miss your comments, hope you are back soon but good luck with the tasks you have in front of you. Lovely to hear Yeti is coming round, always knew you would do it. Big hug for you till we hear from you again, will miss you.
Elaine, you have to know what was going through the Policemans mind, poor soul. It's good Andrew can laugh through this. He is a very special man.
Carmen, it is a wonderful opportunity for the Kid, enjoy your lunch, wish him all the best and tell him to keep in touch with you all, or he can join the blog and be one of us . Good luck Kid.
June my mum used to say about the crusts and curly hair, also eat your carrots and see in the dark, I used to say it to my girls too.
No prescription yet, think both the hospital and GP have forgotten, however breathing is good at moment.
2 managers leaving, one today and one tomorrow, they are making him work the Saturday, 14 leaving in Sept to go to DWP, very soon there won't be enough left to maintain the building. My manager is looking for a new job, she can't stand our HO, happy days.
CraftySue, you are wel, out of it. Hope you are settling to your new life, may be joining you sooner rather than later.
Hugs to all, our missing and poorly friends, always in our thoughts.
Morning Sue, loving the daisies, such a pretty card x

Morning Sue.
Thank you so much this is a very pretty card.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, this is a lovely card today, nice and fresh looking, I also very rarely use just white and green but you have given me inspiration here.
Pam I reiterate all you have said, will have to look back and see what P has said. It will by like the Marieseleste (sorry can't spell) in your office soon, you will be able to pick and choose where you sit then.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue. Thank you for showing this card it's so lovely. It does deserve it's day on the blog. The dark green is very different for you and it is a beautiful card. The Daisy die is a little beauty. Have a great weekend everyone.

Good morning Sue. Beautiful card. I'm not usually a fan of green but this has me converted, it's the perfect shade.
P in Wales, enjoy your crafty break but will miss your stories. Elaine, Andrew is an inspiration for how to get on with life and not let this hideous disease define him - same goes for " the Kid" in Canada. Pam, maybe things will get better if all the managers leave! Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Very pretty card Sue, love the daisies.

Gorgeous card love the green x xhazel
Hi Sue,
I think is really lovely. The green gives it a fresh feel.. The card has a clean and simple look ( not that I'm implying that it is simple!) which appeals to me and it is so pretty.
Pam, at the rate people are leaving, there will be nobody left! Surely that must be setting alarm bells off to the management ? Glad to hear that your breathing is good at the moment but sorry that they haven't sorted your medication out yet.
Love and hugs to all, Alison xx
A really lovely card I do like green and I don't think it's used enough xxx
GM Sue. Great card. Love the green.

Glad you did show it Sue, it's lovely.
Annette x
Morning Sue. A little later than my norm - sadly packing up to leave this gorgeous area in Northumberland a place we'd strongly recommend for a peaceful staycation with amazing beautiful beaches that equal those hundreds of miles away.
Anyway this should be all about your sample not me. Damaged or not it so deserves its day on the blog, most of us are damaged in some shape or form and we show up daily so what does it matter that this beauty has the odd wobble its still really pretty. The green brings out the design of the frame so nicely and surrounds the sweet flowers so we'll, so a good choice, damage and all. Must go, so much dog hair to vacuum up !!!
Sending love n hugs from Rock (Nothumberland) xxx
A lovely, fresh looking card Sue, even with the waves. Thank you, have a good day. Xx
Morning Sue, A lovely card today, so glad you decided to post it. Very fresh looking. I don't use green very often but this shade is lovely. I hope e eryone has a peaceful weekend.

Very pretty and looks beautiful in green It's a colour I don't use very often too But I am red/green colourblind I'm fine with flowers but I'm not a huge lover of mixing pink and greens for matting and layering and so steer clear of green
Lovely card Sue
Hi Sue,
Absolutely love this card - I was so happy when the picture popped up on my screen and I saw the Swirly Vines frame cut in green rather than your go-to blue!!..lol...it's my favourite colour too and I see from the comments left so far that lots of us love green so maybe we can see it used more often...?
P in Wales - come back soon, we'll miss you...but I'm sure that by the time you do return Yeti will be a totally civilized feline...
Izzy
Another beautiful card that is stunning in its simplicity and that lets the dies do the talking - gorgeous..
Hi Sue
What a pretty card today, it's lovely to see the green being used as it's such a classic colour. I don't know how you do it , flying back and forth with a suitcase full of craft items, cards and just a few clothes. The card doesn't look damaged in the photo even though you've told us it is. I do like how the daisies have made a focal element in the frame, it's such a pretty die and deserves to have its time on the blog. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam echoing your comments today. Blimey at this rate you will be promoted to management and will be in charge of the place!! Have a lovely weekend xxx
Elaine oh my goodness what a fright the policeman got! Good for Andrew getting out and having fun xxx
P we will miss you xxx
Dear Sue and Those Who Practice Sueness,
This card really takes the cake! Count me in with those who love green. It's cool how you often do foliage in white and it still reads as foliage, and here you do a swirly frame in green and it also reads as foliage. I like how the daisies come at you right out of the frame, and that it's so easy to color the sky behind them.
A little light has gone out of my life since P in Wales said she was leaving. I'll miss her stories, especially about the taming of Yeti. I hope it's only a short while before she feels the pull of the blog again and has to know what creations are posing on the runway and how everybody's lives are going.
Love and hugs to Rosemary.
Have a safe weekend everyone.
Love,
Donita
Morning Sue. This is a lovely card, damaged or not. I don't think I've ever used green on a card. Maybe I should give it a go!! Take care. Diane (Cards2Di4) xx
Hi Sue.

John has been told his cataracts are not bad enough just yet to have them removed { i do wonder how bad they have to be because while walking on sunny days he could not see the kerb on the pavement } however they have found a bleed behind the left eye and it will be investigated within two weeks .
Pam ,so pleased your breathing is good , hope you get your meds soon, Andrews says their were 4 more security men behind him in a blink of the eye, just shows what a good job our Policemen are doing , i will echo you again today, thank you .
big hugs to all

Good morning Sue must be because of everything in my life at present but I immediately thought change the sentiment and you have a beautiful sympathy card. Like you I rarely use green but this will be an idea for the future. Love from Jackie xx
Love the fresh feeling and clean lines of this card.
The daisies are so cute.

Hi Sue
Like this card very much

Morning, Sue,
What a delightful card. I had a good giggle about it being a bit wavy...most of mine end up like that without being packed anywhere lol. I love the way the flowers peek out from the frame you made for them.
What a miserable morning down here in my corner of the world. I live on the rim of the basin that Truro sits in and from my front with down I can see part of the other side of the town and the spires of the cathedral...today it's raining so hard that I can only see a curtain of grey, I'm glad I live on top of the hill.
At least I'm safe as I can't go out in the garden lol. The arm is doing very well, it looked a LOT worse than it was as I'm a bit of a bleeder. In the end the saw just bounced off my arm and mercifully didn't go very deep. It's healing up well thank goodness, a bit red but it shouldn't leave a big scar. Today I may actually get around to starting a sort out of the craft room today, I ant find ding the worktop right now lol.
Bejay xx
Morning Sue, This card is really pretty, I'm loving the colour combination, very fresh-looking.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
What a lovely fresh, clean looking card. Simple but lovely. I'm not a Green fan, usually a blue girl but this really does do it for me, will have to start using Green more. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue,
I am so glad that you've showed this card which doesn't look damaged at all to me. I love the colour combo (use quite a bit of green in mine) and the design. Those daisies are lovely.
Hugs, Rose
Hi sue what a beauty love thi card the green frame is so lovely this card deserves its day in the sun thank you love always June horrocks xxxxx
Hi SUE
I love those daisies and green doesn't get used often enough ur wavy effect doesn't show that much only on the last picture but very nice all the same
JOY Xx
Hi Sue, thank you for showing this lovely card wrinkles and all. I love green and the Swirly Vines Background makes a beautiful frame in this colour. You have proved that with just three dies you can create a beautiful card - my problem is knowing which three!
Marie - good luck with the house sale and when you are packing remember to do just a little at a time and take plenty of breaks. I am a fairly organised person and like to keep most things just so but when I'm crafting everything is everywhere and the desk disappears lol. I don't actually know any tidy crafters and if they should say they are, I don't believe them :-)
Wishing everyone a happy Friday and a good week-end.
Frances
Morning Sue, so glad that you decided to showcase this card as I think its lovely. The daisies are fabulous and its is so nice to see a bit of green in your cards.
Wendyx
So glad you decided to show it, it's gorgeous.
Hi Sue
Such a lovely card and the little bit of damage doesn't detract from that in the least. The daisies really are delightful.
Pam echoing you again and sending special hugs to all who need one and to all our missing friends
P in Wales we will miss you and hope you come back very soon
Love and hugs to everyone

I have this flower die snd have struggled to use it ,so really pleased to see this card. Going to use it on a sympathy card this afternoon
It's very pretty
Hi Sue from a very wet Cornwall so glad we are going home Sunday. A gorgeous card. So very pretty with the daisies. The card from your photos does not look at all bent to me at all on my phone.
Hi Sue,
Damaged or not, the card is beautiful and certainly does deserve its own day on the blog. Love the green (I am working on a b-day card using green & white as well), you should use it more often. It is one of those colors that give the fresh look to a card. Love it.
‘P’ in Wales – You’ll be missed. Hope you’ll be back sooner rather than later. Take care.
Pam – Have ready a champagne. You have to celebrate once your boss finds a job. Pleased that your breathing is good. Maybe you should call the GP or the hospital. Good luck.
Elaine - So glad Andrew had his treatment. You made me laugh ... poor Policeman. Sorry to read about John. Fingers crossed to have that investigation soon. Hugs for you all.
CraftySuetoo - Hope you enjoy your freedom. A big hug for you.
Marie – Good luck with the house sale. Sorry, I have no idea how to keep your place tidy while you do some craft. I am not a tidy crafter at all. Lets hope we’ll find out together, maybe somebody will give us some tips:)
No lunch update yet, here is only 8:40am.
Have a great Friday and weekend everyone.

Hi Sue. I am glad you decided to show this card as it is a little bit different and I think it is just so pretty. I would have to say that I don't use green card that often either and this goes to show that sometimes we should use something different.
