Hi bloggers! I embossed a piece of coconut white card with the
Circle Illusion folder for the background. Next I cut the
Tina die using black as the top layer, Iris as the middle layer and white as the backing and glued it to the left side of the card. I cut the
Petunia Flower Square using two pieces of white card stacked on top of each other. The top one gave me the outline and the bottom one gave me the image to colour. I used
Shaded Lilac for the flower and shadowed it a bit darker around the edges, then used
Forest Moss for the leaves. I added a piece of
sticky adhesive sheet, then placed the die outline over it in place. I covered the remaining sticky adhesive with
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. I matted it with a thin black mat and a larger square cut from the
Double Stitched Squares. I mounted it with foam slightly over the border and added the
Many Thanks sentiment cut in black with a white shadow below it. The card was completed with white, black and Iris card mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size.
As for my guilty pleasure, that is a bit of a hard question to answer as I have quite a list (I know, I'm bad! LOL), however, I think that top of my list would have to be sitting outside on my patio with my ipad and looking at Pinterest! I love to just see where it takes me, from home decor to healthy recipes, to fashion and of course anything crafty! I can spend hours if I am not careful! Add into that some white chocolate and I am in heaven! LOL All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
Oh I love this.
The Flower Square dies are wonderful on their own but adding Tina gives the Petunia a whole different look and adds another layer of interest.
Love the colouring/glitterbitz - beautiful x
Well you were doing so well with your Pinterest/patio scenario. How virtuous I thought! How healthy I thought! Then came the white chocolate. Lol x
It is promising to be another gloriously bright and sunny day so Happy Friday everyone x

The Tina die is very pretty sue and the colour you have chosen to colour your flower is great love the sentiment thank you
Love june Horrocks xxxxxxx
Hi Sue. What a pretty mixture of dies, from the new mix of layering to the 'older' not older but I hope you know what I mean, but the beautiful square flower which doesn't look out of place and really catches your eye a brilliant idea Sue.
I know what you mean about time flying away from you when you start flicking through the internet lol how can it happen that you start browsing and you look up and it's dark !!
on that note have a lovely day whatever you're doing xxx
Hi Sue
The square dies are a real favourite of mine, love the way you have added the Tina die too.

Hello Sue, a really striking card, love the combination of dies and the minimal use of colours with the white. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Hi Sue, a beautiful card, I do love the flower squares.
I know what you mean about Pinterest, a great time waster. I even have emails from them sitting in my inbox of things they think might be of interest to me. I keep them just in case I have a spare bit of time, lol.

Lovely card. And who amongst us hasn’t spent hours on their iPad - which is what I’m doing now - but this time it’s fruitful and time well spent!

Good morning Sue,
A beautiful card and how lovely to be able to make a small card into a big one. I don't have the die for this one (Unless it's amongst those I haven't yet looked at lol)
There are so many aspects to it that start the crafty juices flowing.
Thank you Sue and I hope you get time today to sit on your deck eating white chocolate.
Hugs

Hi Sue, a really lovely card and I like your different treatment of the flower square, I will have to try this one. Take care your chocolate doesn't melt in this warm weather :-)

Lovely card Sue :)
A petunia of my favourite colour, stunning card, incorporating the triple layer die on the edge....luv Ursula xx
Wow! Isn't this lovely? I can see it working in so many colourways. Another winner.
Hi Sue
Beautiful card and the flower squares are my favourite dies, love how you’ve mixed it up with one of the triple layer dies too. I know what you mean about losing time looking at Pinterest but not white chocolate, for me it has to be dark and the darker the bettter
Love and hugs to everyone

Lovely card showcasing the beautiful petunia with the added interest of the embossing folder & Tina. They all work so well together.
Well Sue, think you have covered most guilty secrets as most of us seemed to go for food or crafts, you just combined the two!
Lovely card Sue, the Petunia is very striking.
A lovely collage of color, designs and textures. I adore your Circle Illusion folder. Thanks for sharing your "guilty pleasure" with us here on this site. Sounds like a relaxing way to spend some time. The white chocolate sounds like a great idea. Hugs
Just to say thank you my die arrived from the blog giveaway

Hi Sue. Sorry, I am a bit late tonight. Love that border die so much, maybe because of the colours you have chosen.
