Hi bloggers! I am still struggling a bit with this new Blogger and finally gave up trying to move my text to the top line and stagger my pics like I prefer to do, it just wasn't behaving! I am determined to keep at it, but I do think I have a few bald spots from pulling my hair out! Rant over and onto the card! I started with the Martha Background and cut it in white and black. I used the black as an offset shadow behind then added a Ruby Red backing to it. Using the Double Stitched Rectangles, I cut a multi-layered frame with a wider white frame on the bottom and a thinner black frame added on top. I added it over the background with foam. Next I cut the Joanie die, also in white and black and added a red backing to it too. I stamped my sentiment and cut a small circular frame using the Double Stitched Circles. I added it over the sentiment with foam, then trimmed away the excess card. I added it to the centre of the Joanie die with foam. I cut two small red flowers from the Blossom Patch die set and glued them to the circular frame. The card was completed with white, black and red mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Woah Sue another comment full of WOW's - WOW WOW WOW this is absolutely beautiful, the colour scheme is so powerful I've not enough words In my sleepy brain to compliment this inspiration but if I'd made something as stunning as this I'd have to keep it and frame it and start again with another to be given i certainly couldn't give this away (selfishly)

Good morning Sue,
A truly stunning card with your beautiful dies. Yvonne xx
Good morning Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. Those dies are gorgeous. Have a great day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Absolutely beautiful! No further words required apart from thank you Sue!
Hi Sue and everyone, what an amazing colour scheme you chose today, the red white and black look great, I don't think I've ever used them together ive done red, black and gold, that's pretty too. Anyway i digress lol, keep going with blogger, you can do it. I usually like to click on the full card for a larger version, i noticed this not working this morning. Its no biggy though, hugs Donna xx
Hi Sue

Superb card, love the white with the shadow black on the ruby background, really makes the background stand out, great idea Sue, thank you....luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue,
I fully emphathise with you, I have been having no end of trouble, first with computer, then with printer, audio didn't work, it's a wonder I've got any hair left. But you'll get there, or else make it work differently.....
The card today is stunner, all your endless options dies are a joy to behold and to work with.
Hugs

A very regal looking card!
Hi Sue,
I love the lacy look. The offset shadow works so well.
Thank you for sharing.
Véronique L
Love the lacey look of this card Sue!!!!
Hi Sue, definitely a case of de ja vu for me today. When I saw this card earlier I knew that I had made it (with the omission of the black shadow, sorry) when I bought the dies some time ago after seeing it on the blog. I did have to check my records though for confirmation! I think that tells you that I really like it.

Lovely!
Hi Sue. I can really understand your frustration. I spend hours trying to make my PC do what I want it to do and try so many different things that when I actually get it to work I can't remember what I did!
Love the lacey look of this card, it is so easy to make really intricate looking creations with these dies.
Lisbeth

No one does dies like our Sue. This card just really appeals to me. I am not very good at looking at two unrelated dies and thinking of how fabulous they will compliment each other. Inspiration comes in large quantity on this blog. Thank you.
Everyone, a Terrific Tuesday,
Stephanie K
