So Sweet Of You
Hello crafters! I covered a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing paper off and sprinkled Summer Meadow Gilding Flakes on it. I used a piece of Rubitscrubit to move the flake around and then refine and remove the excess flakes. Next I used the Theresa Edger set to cut four decorative edgers out of white and backed with black card. I added them to the sides of the background with mounting foam to raise them. I cut the Cecelia die in white and glued it to the centre of the card. I cut a smaller circle out of black card using the Double Stitched Circles. I cut the So Sweet Of You sentiment out of an extra piece of the gilding flake background, then added a black shadow behind it. I glued it inside the circle. I cut three small flowers from the Cherry Blossom Frame die set out of white card and patted glue on them, then sprinkled them with white glitter. I added pearls to the centres then glued them to the top of the black circle as accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 9 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Oh goodness Sue I'm finding it hard to put this inspiration into words it's just beautiful. Theresa looks like delicate planters one on top of the other and the flaked background with the pop of black looks so expensive. Some pictures look like coconut white, some look like bright white which stands out fabulously. This colour scheme is amazing absolutely amazing and the design immaculate. Sending much love, STAY SAFE KEEP CARING AND VIGILANT xxx 💕
Morning Sue and all wilsonettes, oh my what another beauty this sample is, love the gold flakes matched with the white, the Delia die set is perfect as are the 3 little flowers. The sentiment says it all, another perfect sample thank you Sue xx

Hi Sue
A beautiful card. I love Cecelia and am having great fun using the die I won on your latest launch. Cecilia also makes a great frame.

Good Morning Sue and all.
A Fabulous sample once again. The card looks really expensive and when you think about it, for those of us that don't sell cards they ARE expensive. I wish I had been introduced to this craft years ago but I count it amongst my many blessings and each and everyone of the regular bloggers as my friends. The daily samples are always lovely and inspirational.
Thank you Sue and have a good day.

Hi Sue. To me this card looks really majestic. It must have something to do with the columns on the outside edges and the gilding flakes. Stunning.

Good morning Sue Wonderful card the Cecilia die is beautiful and I'd high on my wishlist I love the gilding flakes too
I love gilding flakes and this one looks amazing, such beautiful colours, superb as a backing for such a beautiful card....luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue and everyone, I love the centre of the card but im not sure on the pillars at either side, sorry. Everyone else seems to love it so maybe my eyes are a bit squiffy today and cards always look better in real life.
Hugs to all who need them Donna xx
