Sunday 8 September 2019

Thanks



Good Sunday morning all!  I have a beautiful deep blue card to share today with you.  Trust me when I say the pics don't quite do this one justice as it is a very rich, intense blue bordering on sultry.  I covered a piece of black card with the Blue Teal Glitter Kiss and allowed it to dry well.  Once thoroughly dry, I embossed it with the 3D Sublime Swirls embossing folder.  I used some Black Soot Distress Oxide ink around the edges to frame it.  Next I cut the Millie die out of white card.  I backed it in black as well as adding a black edging to it with the two outermost dies in the set.  I cut the centre of the die in white and added it with foam to the centre.  I used a bit of the leftover card from the background and cut the Noble Thanks out of it so it matched the Glitter Kiss background.  I cut a black one and used it as an offset shadow for it, then glued it to the centre of the card.   I used the Striped Nasturtiums to make three flowers, using the Glitter Kiss card as the solid backing and cutting the striped part in white and gluing them together,  I accented the flowers with the Laced Edged Leaves in white.  Three pearls in opposite corners and white and black mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/2" in size.  all for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. WOW. How I really wish I could see this in real life, your photography has captured the beauty but in real time I can only imagin how exquisite today's inspiration is. It's a true saying that pictures don't do a card justice and as crafters we have a wonderful imagination not that we need it as far as your work goes. Sending love for a lovely day xxx

Hi Sue
Oh wow. That colour is magnificent. What an amazing effect the Glitter Kiss has on black card. I think you have done a pretty good job at capturing the beauty of this masterpiece but will take your word for it that the pictures don’t do it justice. I can imagine that in the flesh this would definitely be one of those blow me away cards x
Happy Sunday everyone x

Good morning Sue.
The blog was not in my in-box today and I really had to search for it. I have to say that it was worth the search as it's a very beautiful card and the colours are exquisite.
I don't think your imagination has any bounds as everything you post is great.
Thank you as always for the inspiration.
Love it.

Ann Topp said...

Good Morning Sue. Ohhh I love these colours together Sue. And this mornings sample is just beautiful. I have the Millie die and I love it....but the one you have used looks different to mine. Mine is a circle. Or is it just a trick of the camera. Either way it would be a card that can be changed for any occasion. Thank you. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Hi Sue. You can see the background effects really well on the close-ups and I really will have to try this one out as I have this embossing folder (it is one of my favourites). Love the way the white elements really pop against the darker background.

WOW!!! Amazing card!! Thanks so much for sharing how you made the background, I always cover the cardstock with Glitter Kiss AFTER the embossing, but it works so well also BEFORE it!!

Dorothy Cattanach said...

Hello Sue and everyone.

I haven't been here for a while, mostly due to health problems making me lose my Mojo, but looked everyday in my email to see your beautiful cards.
This today is stunning, and those flowers are my 'to go for'.

As everyone seems to making their Christmas cards, it got me looking for my dies of yours.
so Mojo is now on the table with card, dies and glitter.
Good wishes Sue Take care.
