GM Sue. Great card. Love it. We have our Spring Show today and it's snowing here! Entered a few craft classes but expect the usual spectacle of daffodils might be lacking. We shall see... Better get myself together and get going. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, absolutely gorgeous, love these shadow box cards and the dies used on this one is fabulous, will watch the video later.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Diane King
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good morning Sue. Love your shadow boxes! Congratulations Diane on your win. Sue xxx
ReplyDeleteLove this card for the gardener out there. Has a lovely autumnal feel to it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Diane.
Hi Sue from a cold winterey Lancashire seems our season is in reverse let alone heading towards spring but my daffs are up and looking cheerful and happy.
ReplyDeleteI must send belated congratulations to June H and husband on spending 60 amazing years together what an acheivement I hope your day was as special as the day you shared your vows xx
Now back to today's gorgeous sample, although I love spring and summer I always fall in love with your autumnal samples and all the dies you bought to us. I've not used my barrow etc yet, I think I've got to the point where I've forgotten what I have so I need to introduce myself to my stash again and break the seal of those that I've not yet used, that's what happens when I have time away from my craft room, not been in there since before Mothers Day so thank you Sue for your beautiful reminder.
Sending many congratulations to Diane on your wonderful Wednesday win, what a wonderful way to start your weekend ☺
Julia did your Easter dies proud yesterday Sue.
Sending you love and hugs and hope your day is a wonderful one xxx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA great unisex card that would be appropriate for a couple of people in my family. Your shadow box die sets are wonderful for drawing lots of small details together.
Congratulations to Diane.x
I now prefer paper gardening over the dirt kind because with paper, there's no worry about contracting Lyme disease. Paper leaves and flowers, however, don't bud or bloom in profusion; you have to make them one at a time.
ReplyDeleteThis card is so handsome. Even though the sentiment is flourishy (and elegant) this card would work well for a male gardener.
I'm enjoying watching the convention on Hochanda. Like being there, but without aching feet at the end.
Congratulations, Diane.
Best,
Donita
Great to see this card since its been snowing here in the night, congratulations to Diane x
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Diane. Great card Sue.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. Lovely gardeners card this morning Sue....and ideal for both genders who enjoy their gardens ..... not much of a day for the garden today though.... yes we got the dreaded snow again last night and during the early hours this morning. So we will just have to tend our paper flowers trees and leaves inside instead.
ReplyDeleteSending everyone warm wishes this freezing morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a lovely card good for any gender, or retirment.
Congratulations to Diane.
Well the white stuff is back take care all.
Take care and keep warm Kitty.
Wonderful card today! I love the shadow box cards but I wish you would make a smaller set of dies for those of us who make smaller cards eg. 6" square cards. Love you inking of all the little elements.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Diane on her win! Debra x

Hello Sie and all
ReplyDeleteShadow box cards are a favourite and can be used for so many occasions - love the gardening dies and your details like the bit of white coloured pencil, makes such a big difference.
Congratulations June Horrocks and your lovely hubby, he sounds like a real gem, that is such a milestone.
Between Donita, Crewe Trish and Latenite Sandy I have so many funny images now of HM, glitter everywhere- wonder if there is room for a craft room at the palace lol !!
Congratulations Diane !!
Debra K, I sometimes use parts of shadow box frames or just some of the cutting edge dies to fit a smaller card.
Hugs

Hi Sue,

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card that takes me back to the wonderful days of Fall with the crisp, cool mornings and the crunch of fallen leaves under my feet. I'm so lucky to live in a state that can experience all the wonders of the four seasons. Your card captures everything down to the finest detail. Shadow box cards are such fun.
Have a wonderful day.
Beverly.
