GM Sue. Very very lovely. Happy BH weekend.
Happy Saturday Sue. As soon as this image loaded my first reaction was WOW. Your Floral Melody die certainly is beautiful and using two colours like that really highlight the two different flowers so well, such a pretty start to our day. Will catch up with the tutorial a little later. Hope you have a lovely day and make the most of the beautiful weather we've been promised ! Let's hope they've got it right xxx
Thanks for the great video Sue. It's a really happy card...just brings a smile when you look at it. Love how you framed the centre with the floral corn er R's. Have a good one today :)

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow this is a gorgeous card today, love it, and am looking forward to seeing the video a little bit later.
Sad news - Many of you will remember Elaine Hood telling us about her son Andrew and his massive extensive treatment he went through, sad to say that Andrew passed away yesterday, my sincere condolences go out to Elaine and all his friends and family.
The weather this weekend is going to be bright and beautiful so have a wonderful May day celebration everyone, I wonder how many of you will have the bar-b-q out.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Ps Happy Bank holiday everyone!
Hi Sue,
Fabulous card. Very,very pretty indeed.
Such sad news about Andrew, I know he fought bravely. My very sincere condolences to Elaine and all of the family. Thank you June for letting us know - could you pass on my condolences as I don't know if she still reads the blog xx
Sending love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
So, so pretty. Love the way the eye is drawn to the centre with the design on the patterned octagon

I love how the Floral Melody Corner hangs over the edge a little. Same thing happened on April 22 when you showed a Happy Birthday with just two of those corners. Also the same thing happened on that card when the blush color on the lilies made them almost invisible. That subtlety probably looks fabulous in person.
Best,
Donita
A really pretty card
Lovely card!
Condolences to Elaine and family.
Love Marg
A beautiful card this morning, Sue.
The glorious weather has come just at the right time as I am demonstrating lacemaking this weekend outdoors.
Anne (Northampton)
Very pretty card. I like the flower die..... I like the subtly of the colours used for the flowers.
Christmas colours sprang to mind as I watched the video ..........Sorry, I know it is only the beginning of May!!
Teresa
Wow! What a beautiful girly card! Having said that not one I would make myself as I don’t make cards that large (think it would be difficult to scale down!) but it doesn’t stop me enjoying the beauty of it. Thank you so much Sue, have a lovely Bank Holiday everyone, get those babies out!
Condolences to Elaine & Helen, RIP Andrew.
Hello Sue, this is such a pretty card, definitely makes you smile. X
Hi Sue
Pretty card, love the colours used. Will,watch the video soon.
June thank you for letting us all know the sad news about Andrew. Please pass my condolences to Elaine. X
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue,
That mass of lacy froth from the Floral Melody corners almost steals the show but isolating the focal point with the octagon shapes is the perfect balance for them...as you say a lovely girlie card!
June - thank you for the update re Andrew, so sad, he fought so hard and for so long - please give Elaine my condolences, she must be devastated...

Morning Sue
Oh what a beautiful card. I do love those Octagons they make such a statement. The Floral Melody corner is absolutely divine. It is a definite 'wow'. All in all my boxes are ticked x
I will look forward to watching the video later x
It is a beautiful day and the boys are going to be working in the garden. I will be on hand to provide refreshments x
I need to keep out of their way. Would hate to be a nuisance (or be given a job to do)! Lol x
Perhaps today could be the day I spend some time getting messy in my craft room. Have lots of new dies to sort. Thank you for my early Birthday wishes. I will be 50 in July so it is very premature but I might as well make the most of celebrating x
My heart goes out to you Elaine. You have so many friends on this blog who were and still are here for you. Sending you and Helen love at this sad time x
As always sending lots of love to all specially missing friends x

Hi Sue, although I normally love your girly cards my first thought on seeing this one was 'it's too busy' but having watched the video I have changed my mind as the moving pictures really bring it to life. I really like the Floral Melody Corner, it is so pretty.
