Hello bloggers! Think pale blue, white and antique gold for today's card, not very traditional, but I just love it! I started by cutting the
Deco Snowflake out die in white and only cutting it partially. I lined up the die again to extend it to make a larger background piece. I cut the centre section using the die as it is and cut it in white. The smaller top section was created by cutting the sie and making it smaller (I used the shorter side of the die as the longer side of the finished piece. I stacked them all with foam and added them to a piece of Arctic blue card. I cut the very centre of the
Deco Snowflake die in white and added a blue backing to it and added it to the centre of the card. The
Festive Wishes was cut in Antique gold card and a gold mirror card shadow was added, then glued to the centre. Using the
Classic Poinsettia die, I made three flowers and added them around the sentiment.
Evergreen Branches cut in white were added as accents. The card was completed with white, gold and arctic blue mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue, a really lovely card today, it shows how versatile the dies are, that you can either reduce or increase the size. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Hi Sue you're starting a new week with a beauty. There's to many reasons to put down why I love your work and what you stand for but one is that you try and introduce different colour schemes that we for some reason haven't even thought of ( maybe some have the skill of matching) but this colour scheme is just delicious, if its not traditional enough then the design lends itself to the red green and gold, but whatever the choice I love it.
Covid is hitting hard again round the world, we've lost enough friends from illnesses here and we still miss their names and comments every day so please - STAY SAFE KEEP CARING AND VIGILANT xxx ❤

Hi Sue. Such a pretty card today, thank you for explaining how you made all the different sizes of frame. I wouldn't normally use gold with blue but I think it works rather well.

Beautiful card Sue, lovely dies xx
Hello Sue
I still struggle to change the original size of dies but I keep trying.This card is lovely and I love the colours. As for not being traditional I don't think this Christmas will be the same as usual so why not try something different. Take care everyone x
Hi Sue
There’s nothing wrong with introducing an unusual colour mix as it gets us all thinking but I’m in the minority when I say it’s just not for me
Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue, Very pretty card, Love Jean Z xxxx
Hi Sue, I like this non-traditional card a lot. I have the 'Festive Wishes' die, it cuts beautifully and snips apart very easily. My favourite poinsettias look beautiful in gold, I like making them in lots of different colours and paper qualities and they always look great.

Afternoon Sue and all the Wilsonettes

Love all the lacy effect on this card, beautiful...luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue,
Christmas cards don't always have to be in traditional colours. Whilst I do like them, it's also lovely to see them in such restful colours as these. Blue gives a more 'frosty'look rather than 'a snowy' feel which is always a winner in my book.
Great that you can extend these versatile dies.
Beautiful!
Hugs xxx Pauline
Gorgeous card. I love it. Lots of elements and beautifully designed. Thanks for sharing. Hugs
Lovely card Sue, not your traditional colors but it sure works!!!!
Beautiful card x
Beautiful and I love the change of colour way
Hello, I am trying to catch up. I had a touch week and a half. To work from home is not easy but working in the office is a real challenge now but going back to today's card... I love it.
The Arctic blue is so calming and working beautifully with white, while the Antique gold is a nice touch.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.

Hi Sue,
It mightn't be very traditional but it is a beautiful card. The colours are beautiful, as is the Art Deco Snowflake. I have not got that, but can feel me growing weak.........

As you said Sue unusual colours but it works beautifully!
A different but really gorgeous card!
Lovely color combo. I think it could easily be converted to other occasions. The loopy dies are so delicate and pretty.
