Hi bloggers! Today's offering has been created using
lilac and milk card. I started with a piece of
milk card and embossed it with the
Aztec Flower embossing folder for background texture. Next I cut four of the
Victoria die in milk and cut them in half. I cut the
Julia die in milk and backed it with lilac card for contrast. I arranged the pieces from the
Victoria die around the outside edge across from each other. I cut a small circular frame for the inside of the Julia die out of milk card and stacked several of them for dimension. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the
Stitched Flags and tucked the end under the circular frame. Out of lilac card, I made a small flower out of the
Nasturtium Cluster flower and seated it at the end of the sentiment flag with a few accent leaves and twigs. While I was going to add small cream pearls to all the sections in the embossed background, I found I didn't have quite enough cream pearls for that :( so I just added four in the corners! LOL I completed the card with milk and lilac mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size.
There are still a couple of unclaimed winning dies, so please scroll down a few posts to see if your name is on the list!! All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a beautiful card today, love the cream and lilac combination, the Aztec embossing folder and the dies you have used, just the pearls in the 4 corners is all you need on this, in my opinion Sue, and the lovely little cluster flower really sets it off a treat, yes love it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue what a lovely card to start off the week with.
FIONA FROM BARMULLOCH IN SNOWY GLASGOW XX
Oh Sue, what a truely beautiful delicate start to the week, from the folder used, the gorgeous choice of colours to the rose/nasturtium bud and pearls this is a delight for anyone to receive and look at a real Sue Wilson stunner.
I've emailed and text Sam as I'm not sure if she realised she was picked out as a launch winner, if she has been in touch Sue I apologise for poking my sticky beak in but I've seen no acknowledgement message on the winners post or here on the blog to show she realised she's a lucky winner - unlike Sam !
So that's me done. All that's left is to wish you a happy fun day from a white, cold Lancashire xxx
Such a beautiful card,very pretty.

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Very pretty with your detailed intricate dies.
Hi Sue. Lovely feminine card today. Love the Julia die, especially the lattice section in the centre.
Lisbeth
Oh, I love, love, love this one! The lilac, the rosebud, how well Victoria and Julia get along, the lattice that proves irresistible. Pretty cool that you chose the circle for dimension. Never would have thought of that, and it looks so good!
Best of Mondays to all.
Donita

Hi Sue, a real Sue Wilson stunner. Like the dies used, the colours chosen and the pearls. You know what people say,"Less is more" but more is even better (especially if we're talking chocolate) lol. If I'd tried stacking circles, the finished product would be oozing glue, but I like the idea Sue.
Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.

Hi Sue, I love this beautiful card in milk and lilac, it's gorgeous. The Aztec Flower embossing folder has been appearing regularly and I think it must be one of your favourites, it is certainly on my wish list. Julia and Victoria complement each other perfectly.
Marie P - I was going to tell you how to claim your prize but I see that Carmen has beaten me to it :-)

Hi Sue,
What a pretty and delicate card.
The colours are just fabulous.

Good afternoon lovely Sue and her crafty crew,
This is such a Sue Wilson classic that I cannot fail to fall in love with it. I’m a big fan of using milk card....its so much softer and classier than white....and pairing it with the lilac is ingenious. I love the Aztec EF and feel that the inclusion of any more pearls would be overkill perhaps? I love it just as it is with the corners embellished. The Julia and Victoria dies get along splendidly don’t they...just like me and Yvonne, NOT!....i particularly adore the Julia backed in lilac, and the lattice centre circle is charming. The Nasturtiums and flags are the perfect finishing touch, absolutely sublime Sue, well done!
Well I’m back, as promised but wondering about whether it is best to stick with my usual style of commenting or should I pare it down somewhat in case of offence? The mood on the blog has definitely changed in my absence and I am sad about that....i cant help but wonder if the absence of so many friends is down to these changing times, one thing is for sure though, the blog suffers in my opinion. I hope that in time they all come back but who am i to say this when i myself have been absent for so long? As Yvonne eluded to you all, I have been struggling of late with my health and felt far too exhausted to participate in the blog....when i cant give a full and detailed comment i feel that I am letting everyone down as well as myself when the inclusion of a few sentences is all that is often required.
Myra, don’t ever think that narrow minded, spiteful individuals speak for the majority, this blog would be a far duller place without your cheery persona, i would sorely misss you as i do Pam, Elaine, Saba, Maureen, Rosemary the list goes on.....we must stand together to keep Sues blog the happy, supportive, caring place that it has become to so many of us.
Carmen, I didn’t manage to make it to see Strictly with my Mum unfortunately, i had a catalogue of reasons, the main being that I had an emergency operation in hospital booked in at the last minute and scheduled for the day before the event:-( The worse thing about it was that i bought two rather pricey outfits for the occasion and never got to wear them....on the bright side though, there’s always next year i guess. I just hope Rosemary managed to see it with her daughter and enjoyed it:-)
I kept my promise then Yvonne, hope you are enjoying the party at your sisters with the wrinklies.....keep away from the Lambrusco honey, you know how it afffects your inhibitions:-), and we DONT want a repeat of the last occasion, some people are still having unwanted flashbacks!
I have to get up at the ungodly hour of 6am tomorrow morning, i have patient transport booked and you have to be ready to go at 8am regardless of when your appointment is:-( , i have an MRI scan scheduled but i hope they don’t mind if i have 50 winks during the procedure, needs must i’m Afraid:-)
Hugs and kisses to all my lovely besties and huge congrats to all of Sues recent die, card and comment winnersxxx

Hi Sue - this is sooooo gorgeous. Almost looks vintage. Just love it. Thank you xx
Hello Sue,
A truly lovely card today which is instantly recognisable as a Sue Wilson Masterpiece! I think someone else said it too, but I think that little flower just finishes it off to perfection! Thank you! I don’t have any of these Dies , Sue but a similar card could be made using different ones, I’m sure! I never knew I could have so much fun with clouds! Lol!
Laine it’s lovely to see you! I’ve missed you loads and I’m sorry you have been so unwell but I rather thought that must be the reason. All the best for tomorrow!
It’s a gorgeous day here today just very cold!
Love to all,
Myra ( Friend of Maureen!) xx

Gorgeous card and so Sue Wilson in every way. I love both of the frames & tags dies and the little rose bud flower is just the right touch. I am also loving that embossing folder which seems to appear a lot lately. There is something about it that just goes well with everything.
Laine, that's it. Take a nap during your MRI and pop out refreshed.
Love to all,

Love the colours.
Glad its not just me that's noticed the change in this blog, so many names missing and not the same family type atmosphere.
So beautiful, thank you, Sue.
Very pretty lacy card Sue, love the colours too
A lovely card I’ve never put a lilac and cream together I must try it after seeing your pretty card
Hi Sue,
Love this card, it is so pretty and feminine.
Love and hugs, Alison xxx
Hi Sue. WOW !!! Today's card is gorgeous !!! I love your milk and lilac colour combination. The colours look great together. I am not good with putting colours together so I need all the help I can get !!! I have got the Victoria die but I have not used it yet, it is absolutely beautiful though. Your Julia die is really beautiful to. I also love the Aztec flower background EF. I don't think I have seen this one before but I can see how you would want to put pearls at all the intersections. I think if I had this EF I would find it difficult not to do the same thing to !!! Also a great sentiment and flag Sue but to me the flowers always take the card to the next level. I always think your finishing touches dies complete the card perfectly and this one, cute little Nasturtium flower does just that. Thank you for sharing. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres X X X
