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!
The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue another beautiful card in lovely colours Will watch video later. Look forward to seeing you on screen later xx
Lovely card and enjoy the shows. x
Lovely 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
Hi 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,
A 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
Good morning Sue,
A beautiful card with lots of lovely sparkle! X
Hi Sue
Absolutely 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

What a beautiful card Sue. You really do have a magic touch. The video is great too.
I hope to be watching your shows today on my PC although I'm having trouble with it which is a bit hit and miss at the moment. I'm sure your shows will be brilliant as always

Absolutely stunning card & I am looking forward to seeing all your shows.Yvonne xx
Hi Sue,
What a fantabulous card, and the background consisting of Hexagon borders is subtle but so so elegant. And the recessed focal point is so beautiful as are the colours.
Looking forward to seeing you on telly, I know your shows will be fabulous.

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.
Hugs 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
Lovely 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.
Amazing dimensions with this technique! Thanks for sharing the tutorial! Your card is just delightful!
That is absolutely stunning Sue....just love it....luv Ursula xx
What s beauty sue I love it my favourite colour too your video was great so inspirational Sue can’t wait to see your programmes I have recorded the first one will watch later thank you love always June Horrocks xxxxxxx
Beautiful 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.
Hi Sue
Beautiful 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
Pat
Such a pretty card. X
Hi 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.
Frances
Very nice :)
Beautiful card Sue. Haven't managed to watch either of your shows Tonight but all on record xx
Anyone would love to receive this beautiful card Sue. I really love the colors that you have chosen!!!
Hi 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.
I 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.
