Hi bloggers! I started this card with a piece of milk card and I used the
Vivian cutting die with the decorative outer die to cut an aperture in the middle. Next I used the
Elemental Swirl stamp and stamped it in opposite corners with a
Clear Perfect Medium pad. I used
detail gold embossing powder on it and heated it until it melted. I added an Arctic Blue backing to the aperture and added the
Belated Birthday Wishes cut out of Antique Gold card. I cut the
Hummingbird triple layer die out of Antique Gold on the top, Arctic Blue for the middle layer and finished with a milk bottom layer and mounted it to the right side of the aperture opening. I used the
Triple Layer Wildflower in all three sizes and reversed the order using the Arctic blue on top, the Antique gold as the middle layer and the milk as the base. I added milk card leaves as accents and mounted the flower under the aperture. The card was completed with milk, Arctic Blue and Antique Gold mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Stunning card Sue xx Hazel
There are many card and gift boutiques up and down the U.K. that sell the most unique of cards, just tiny cards sometimes and they cost the earth, but I can honestly say with hand on heart that within these boutiques and on the most expensive websites that sell cards you wouldn't get on the high street or anywhere that this sample goes way and beyond in every detail Sue. From the stunning corner golden swirl to the sentiment and everything in between it just says expensive and one of a kind. It's so beautiful it needs to be mounted in a glass box frame for all to see, this isn't a card, it's a gift. Have a lovely day in the 'slow lane' lol xxx
Morning Sue. There's something I really love about this card. I think it's the colours you've used. Whatever it is I love it. Thanks Sue. Best wishes Loraine Jefferis x
What a beautiful card. It's very striking. I love the colours you have used xx
Morning Sue, beautiful card, love the stamping, and great colour choice. Love Jean xxx
Hello Sue and all
Oh how lovely! The gold just sets this beautiful card off perfectly and as Steph said, it is one of a kind.
Still at least 4 weeks before i will be crafting, I can’t believe it, after starting on my Christmas cards too. Had a full cast fitted yesterday, thank heavens it is my left arm as I am right handed.

What a beautiful card sue I love the colours are just so pretty a gift that would make someone so happy Thankyou
Love always June Horrocks xxxxxxx
Another lovely card and I love how the latest days enable us to make beautiful apertures.
Can any of you Wilsonettes (thanks June Smith for that very apt label!) give me some tips on heat embossing as my card always ends up slightly bent no matter what I do. I love embossing powders and would use them a lot more if I could solve this little problem. #ILoveParticraft.

Hi Sue- if anyone received this card as a belated birthday card then all would be forgiven for forgetting a birthday! It's beautiful. Nice to have a reminder to get our old stamps out too. Sending best wishes

Good morning Sue,
A truly beautiful card today with your beautiful dies. This is definitely a card that with a different sentiment you would keep displayed. Love the colour combination that you have used. Yvonne xx
Good Morning Sue. This is pure elegance. Absolutely beautiful. There is just something about it that says it all. The colours.... the elements.... everything. I think this is a favourite with everyone. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
A very pretty die. I like the use of a stamp rather than a die cut to make the swirl, it makes the card very elegant indeed.
Teresa
Hi Sue
I love this card. The colours work so well together and I like the hummingbird hovering over sentiment, which in turn fits beautifully in the aperture made by the Vivian die. The elemental swirl stamp works perfectly too. Think I may have to invest in that one. I think I’ve said that before, but there’s always more of your dies that I buy instead!
Love Helen xxx
Good morning all.
Wow! what a gorgeous card. Beautiful in every detail. I love it.
Hugs.

Good Morning Sue and all
WOW what a beautiful card this morning , so much detail with in the card. I love gold swirls which gives expensive look to design and the hint of blue works so well. The humming bird finishes the card of beautifully. This card would make it worth missing any birthday and put a smile on anyones face.

Very pretty I would never have thought to put the pale blue with gold - it so works well together
Lovely, opulent card. Different but beautiful.

Hi Sue,
This is a lovely card, and the colour scheme is beautiful. I love the hummingbird and it looks as if it's flying in the sky.
Hugs

Hi Sue. What a really lovely clean and simple card. I wouldn't normally use gold with blue but actually I think they work really nicely together and I love those swirls. If they come from the stamp plate that I think they do they are a great staple for anyone's crafty tool box.

Beautiful card Sue, the Hummingbird is exquisite. Love the flourish in the corners of the card very eye catching!!!!
So pretty card and colors. My computer shows the Antique gold paper as brown for the flowers and sentiment and gold for the base of the flowers on some pictures. I can tell you that the card is still beautiful in those colors as well.

A beautiful card Sue. Very elegant xx
Hi Sue, an outstanding card, love the more muted tones, very classic. Bx
This card is lovely and I admit it made my cry. My Mother loves hummingbirds so I immediately thought of her and how much I miss her as she passed away unexpectedly on Feb. 17, 2019. She would have loved your sweet bird on a handmade card from me. I miss her so much.
