Hi bloggers! One of my favourite card styles is a recessed aperture. I just love the way they draw you into the focal element. Today's video shows a great way to achieve that look.
Just a quick reminder that I will be doing a one hour show at noon today and then kicking off the ODS tonight at 6pm and 8pm, and on Sunday at 9am, 1pm and 5pm. Hope you can join me then!
So pretty. Looking forward to seeing all the inspiration on your shows this weekend

ReplyDeleteLovely card and enjoy the shows. x
ReplyDeleteLovely card and I enjoyed the video ( pinned it). Two things I really liked were the background die and how you used it, and how you created the brilliant frame for the centre piece. Thank you Sue, looking forward to your shows. Have a good time.xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Such delicate designs for this card and I love how you can use the outside edge of the die to create a wonderful dotty frame to drop the rest of the design into. looking forward to your shows on TV today.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card that just seems to be made for me. Why is that you ask. It has my favorite color - aqua, two of my favorite dies, a little sparkle, and pearls. All of those things together make for a perfect card. Thanks for sharing your video.
Looking forward to your shows today.

Stunning card, love the dies
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card with lots of lovely sparkle! X
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delightful.
The colour, the recessed aperture and the sparkle - all adds up to make the perfect card. Simply stunning.
I am beyond excited for your shows. It has been ages. I could be wrong but is it about 6 months since you were on HOCHANDA? That is far too long to go without a Sue fix! Well my yearnings will cease today - will they not? Lol.
Happy Saturday everyone

Beautiful card Sue. I'm so jealous of all the Wilsonettes who will be watching your shows this weekend. I would willingly swap this hot, sunny day to be able to watch just one of them.
ReplyDeleteHugs xx Pauline in S.A.
Hi Sue love the colour you have used today. Putting the frame around the recess really sets the card off xx
ReplyDeleteLovely card, fresh & dainty. Like the colour. Thank you Sue. Will probably be missing for a couple of weeks, off to a cottage in the country. See you soon.
ReplyDeleteAmazing dimensions with this technique! Thanks for sharing the tutorial! Your card is just delightful!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely stunning Sue....just love it....luv Ursula xx

ReplyDeleteBeautiful recessed card design with lots of sparkle. Love it. I used one of your Noble die sets yesterday to do a recessed card for a friend. I do like that look. Great video. Thank you for doing the videos and inspiring me every day in my card making. I'm off now to watch you on Hochanda. It is such a pleasure visiting with you.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and a great video, just love the hexagonal border die and how you’ve used it to create the background for your recessed aperture
Shows all set to record as I have my grandchildren staying tonight
Love and hugs to everyone

Such a pretty card. X
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I love this beautiful card and having watched the excellent video I am going to make a background tonight with the hexagonal border as you have done. I really enjoyed your first show today with the mermaids, so many lovely samples on display I think you must have had a lot of fun making them. Looking forward to the next show so I had better go and quickly get dinner prepared so that I don't miss anything.
ReplyDeleteFrances
Very nice :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sue. Haven't managed to watch either of your shows Tonight but all on record xx
ReplyDeleteAnyone would love to receive this beautiful card Sue. I really love the colors that you have chosen!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. What a beautiful, beautiful card today !!! As always your video is fab to. I love your colour combo. Aqua is such a lovely colour. It has been ages since I made a recessed card and I love them. I really must make one. I love your gorgeous "Claire" die set. This one is still on my huge wish list as I think the designs in it are so very pretty. I love how you made the Hexagon border die into a whole background, adding that fab white glitter ( sorry I have forgotten its name !!!) The sentiment is lovely to. I do really love your latest sentiment word dies with the beautiful swirly font and a very handy backing die. I especially love the smaller size of them to. Thanks for sharing this beautiful card today Sue.
ReplyDeleteI just have to say I watched your Mermaid show today and it was fantastic Sue. I really enjoyed it and your cards and dies are amazing !!! You have inspired me to make some lovely Mermaid cards. I also watched your Triple layer die set show and that to was amazing. I am looking forward to tomorrow's shows. Thank you for all your hard work Sue. Lots of love from Tres X X X
A classic Sue card: elegant and beautiful. A great video as always.
