Hello there my crafty friends! Here's another really quick card but with quite a pop of colour! I grabbed a background out of my premade background pile. This one uses Yellow and Orange Crystal Tints on
acetate, then scrunched up tissue paper is added to it and allowed to dry. I usd the
Double Stitched Squares to make a mukti layered frame in black and white to go over the background. Next I cut the
Hope Circle out of both white and black, shadowed it then glued it into the centre of the frame. Clean and simple, but you can easily add flowers to dress it up if you desire. The card was completed in white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x
7 1/2" in size. All for now. Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a n amazing sample to wake up to this morning, reminds me of a bright sunset with all those wonderful colours. perfect.

Good Morning Sue. Great card this morning ...lovely sunset/sunrise colours. And I just love this die.Kind
ReplyDeleteI bought this for one special card for my sister...who at the time was having treatment for breast cancer. I saved it until she got the all clear. The card I made for her.... she keeps by her bedside in a frame. So an extra BIG THANKYOU for that one Sue.
We all have to HOPE and pray for a MIRACLE in these very worrying times.
Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning.Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWell what a fabulously bright and beautiful card to greet me on my return. I love love love those colours and they are made even more stunning by the good old acetate and scrunchy tissue technique. Wonderful x
I have a pile of premade backgrounds using a vast array of colours and techniques and I tend to forget about them. Note to self - check them out and put them to good use girl.
Apologies for my almost 3 week absence. Had an ‘episode’ of Chronic fatigue which hit me like a brick wall, knocked me down and left me there to suffer! Hey ho - fingers crossed I am back in the land of being upright!
I hope all you Wilsonettes are well - am very out of touch with everyone’s news and out of the loop so sending you all love and best wishes x
Take care and stay safe x

Morning Sue, your background really does reflect the wonderfully not days that we are experiencing here in the NE. It really does make a pleasant change. Great sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteI should take a leaf out of your book Sue and spend a day or 3 playing around creating backgrounds. Hugs xxx Pauline
What a lovely CAS card I need to play with Crystal Tints again!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteand you've done it again!! Those lovely penguins!!! Your Festive Collection is as wonderful as always. It's just that word ………
We're having it dry, dry, dry and it's not good for plants (or my back carting watering cans about).
Your offering today is what we all need . .. HOPE...
And colours - MINE!
Hugs
Rose
A very dramatic card
ReplyDeleteTeresa
quick and easy, sometimes just the kind of card you need in an emergency, love that vibrant background....luv Ursula x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a most striking card and a complete contrast to yesterday's pastel offering. It is a little stark for my liking and I would have to add some flowers and foliage but the sentiment is spot on for these difficult times.
ReplyDeleteFrances

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Sometimes it is so nice to see a clean and simple card and I love the vivid colours you have used which are so "in" at the moment.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAmazing colour background, love this technique but
haven't got any tints.
hugs Maria x
Love this post. Very effective and simplistic in its appearance.
ReplyDeleteWOW This looks amazing. I need to get me some of those aqua tints. Such a bold but beautiful
ReplyDeletebackground x
I love the sentiment on this card. I really like that you give us wonderful sentiments but make them large enough to be the focal point on the card. It allows to create a quicker card when we need one in a hurry. I appreciate that and this sentiment is so uplifting.
