Hello there my crafty friends! It's another caught in crystal card but with some of my favourite colours in the mix. I started with a piece of acetate and used the Pure Amethyst, Tanzanite Blue and Lime Peridot colours of Crystal Tints all over it. I added in some Lilac Shine Holographic Glitter this time. I scrunched up some white tissue paper and laid it on top and set it aside to dry overnight. Next I cut the Cecelia die in white into a piece of white card. I cut the Cecelia centre circle again, but used the outer cutting die with it. I added on top of the larger Cecelia die cut but offset it to create a pretty pattern in the middle. I stamped the Carousel horse die and cut it out with the matching die. I coloured the horse with Distress Markers and added it with mounting foam in front of the Cecelia cut out section. I had a small piece of the caught in crystal left over so I cut the sentiment out of it. I added it to a white die cut for some stability, then glued it to the top of the card. Using the Magnolia Corner flower die, I made two dimensional flowers and glittered them. I seated them in the lower corner and added Lace Edged Leaves cut in white as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue.
A lovely card thank you.
Take care stay safe and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue and family. Another week and its getting closer, like one of my fellow Lancastrian's I'm still beavering away with a few of my Christmas cards but they are hand delivery. Today's inspiration has the most beautiful colour scheme and the Cecilia die is gorgeous - I've just finished a first birthday card for a little princess with the same name, I know I'll be in the minority but the carousel animals didn't make it to my collection, I can only afford to buy dies now that I know my customers will adore as much as I do (I've got to know their likes and dislikes over the years) but it doesn't mean I can't enjoy the samples I see from you and other crafters and I will. So I'll send lots of love and sincere caring thoughts and please STAY SAFE KEEP CARING xxx 💖
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes

Hope you all have a good day and stay safe

Hello Sue and all
The caught in crystal colours are beautiful and still think Cecilia is one die I didn’t get and should have. It always looks so lovely

Good morning Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. Have a good week. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue,
This is well and truly a stunning card. Brings me back to my childhood, and those carousels with horses, gaily painted and truly stupendous to me as a child. Plus the jingle jangle music.
Have a good week, everyone.
Hugs

Hi Sue. I have got caught in crystal backgrounds that I thought would be too busy to use, but you have shown how pretty they are by using quite a busy die cut on top of it (you can use the die cut to cover the bits you are not too keen on). Thanks for showing us what to do.

Hi Sue,
I love the colours you have chosen.
Thank you for sharing.
Véronique L
All elements beautiful. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
A lovely card, one which I might be able to use for inspiration as I know my husband has bought me the carousel animals as a stocking filler, and I won the carousel in the giveaway.
Thank you Sue for all the great inspiration you give us.
Beautiful card Sue, love the background!!!
I love carousel horses and the Cecilia die makes the perfect backdrop for the carousel horse on this gorgeous card.

Hi Sue, a lovely card. I love the colours of the caught in crystal behind the gorgeous Cecilia and the way you have twisted and layered the centre part to give her a completely different look.
