Hi crafters! It's a quick black and white card for today. Today's background was the result of needing a bunch of white
Fern Fronds diecuts for a few other projects so I decided to cut them all out of one piece of
coconut white card. I just loved the way the negative space looked when I was finished so I added a piece of black card to the back of it, then trimmed it down a bit in size. I cut the
Petal Pockets Flower dies, all three sizes, out of a piece of
coconut white card that was covered with a
sticky adhesive sheet. Once cut, I peeled the backing off and coated them with
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz, then formed the flowers by folding the petals inward. I added black stamens and pearls to the centres. I cut the
Pierced Flags in white and added thee next size up in black as a mat, then cut the
Just Because Sentiment in black and glued it to the flag. I seated the flowers at the end of the flag in a cluster. White and black mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue and all
Love this card and with a NZ man could see using this design. Maybe the other way round with white ferns.
Lynne L thank you for your hint to find Sue’s shows but even doing that (and I will do that in future) I came up with some quilting ladies even though the title was Sue’s show. Very disappointing , hope you are doing some videos on you tube soon Sue !

Beautiful card. I must remember to try and do this, as I end up throwing so much away when I could make beautiful backgrounds. Hugs WINTERWARM. xxx
Morning Sue, lovely card, I made one just like this when I first got the Fern die and was really pleased with it. Love Jean xxx
Hello Sue great idea using the card stock from the cutouts and it has made a lovely card.xx
Hi Sue
I don’t think you can go wrong with black and white and this is no exception. What a lovely card. I love the fern fronds and use them a lot. I know what I will be doing when I die cut them from now on!
Happy Thursday everyone

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, beautiful sample, black and white are always a winner and great idea with cutting all the leaves out for another project and using the wate to make this card. The blitz is just right too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hello Sue,
A stunning care made from a waste piece of card. No one would ever Know. It makes quite a statement in black and white.

Hi Sue,
I love it, and I've just got the recipient for that........... might have to "borrow".
Hugs, Rose
Such a beautiful card Sue and I'm not a great lover of black and white cards but this works so well.

One of those 'just by chance' cards, love it....Waste not, want not, that is what I like...needless to say it has worked well and looks great....luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue, I love the Fern Fronds they are so very useful and here they have helped you make a brilliant monochrome card. The sparkled Petal Pockets just finish it off beautifully.
Frances
Hi Sue, a beautiful card. Very striking in black and white.
Love this post - monochrome is my thing and this is very effective.
I do love black and white. This card uses up something maybe thrown out and transformed into a wonderful sample instead.
Off to my card making group this morning.
Hope everyone here is well and happy,

Lovely :)
This lovely card has a true botanical look to it. Multi-cuts from the Fern Fronds dies produce a great background. Too bad for me yesterday that I did not think about this when I was die cutting lots of bunnies. The bunnies would have given me a nice background, too.
Stunning card Sue, could definitely be used as a male card. Thanks.
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x
Wonderful card Sue x what a great idea to use the waste piece for your background x it will make me think twice about how I cut my dies from now on x thankyou Sue x
Theresa w in Berks xxx
Fabulous card. Love the background. It just goes to show that the waste from die cutting can often be used in spectacular ways.
Teresa
Super monochromatic card. It just goes to show what wonderful backgrounds can be made with a little planning and forethought.
I've occasionally used my waste pieces as a stencil, but not always with success. Will try harder in future. (Sounds like my old school report).
Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.
I just love black and white cards and this fabulous one is no exception. X
Amazing design, the ferf fronds look great!!!
Hi Sue beautiful card just love it Love Lynda xx
Hi Sue
Love this card and what an inspired way of using up what was essentially a piece of waste card
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Hi Sue. What a really great way to use up the waste from other projects and hasn't it turned out rather well. I would have thought that you had made it like this on purpose if you hadn't told me otherwise. Love it.
Lisbeth
Sue, what a brilliant way to make a background! I must try it! I love the card.... :) Jo
Good evening Sue & everyone, wow I just love this card and what a fab way of using 'leftover' card stock, best of both worlds.
Lesley
