Family Circle

Hi bloggers!  I started today's card by using the Moonlit Sea Luna Paste through the Matrix mask and allowing it to dry well.  Once dry, I cut it with the Double Stitched Octagon die set, then cut a smaller octagon from the inside area of the stencilled background.    I matted it onto the Decorative Squares which I cut in white and added mounting foam to raise the centre octagon.  I used the Family Circle die and cut it in white and added a black shadow.  I mounted it on a white shadow backing then added it with foam to the centre of the card.  Using the Cosmos die set, I cut three solid flowers out of white and added outlines to them cut from a piece of Luna paste background using the same colour as the stencil.  I arranged the flowers in opposite corners and used the Magnolia Corner cut up into pieces as accents around them.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  X  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue and all that might read my post today, hope you are all well physically and mentally, its a struggle at times isn't it. Does it sound stupid but I do think of you all, you maybe names but still virtual friends that love the same mood saver ❤
So onto this absolutely beautiful sample it's so delicate and the colour so soothing,like Pat says, its worth getting up for, your decorative squares add something different, a beautiful way to start our weekend here in the UK. Whatever you're doing today wherever you are in the world I'm thinking of you and sending love xx

Morning Sue, I do like the lunar paste but I need to practise using it as I always manage to get some leakage which spoils my backgrounds.
However, I do love your card, today.
Sorry I don't comment each day but I always try to look at your posts.
Enjoy your weekend everyone. x

Good Morning Sue. And all our virtual friends. What a lovely calming card today Sue. I don't know whether it's the colour or the style but it looks so restful to me. And I love it. I don't have the lunar pastes or any masks but I will be happy to try and recreate this with what I have already. This is the beauty of crafting. Thankyou Sue.

Good morning Sue,
A truly exquisite card today, I love the way you have used the Octagon die cuts with the paste set matted onto the Decorative squares which just go together beautifully. The family circle sentiment just makes this card extra special for the recipient. Yvonne xx

Good Morning Sue and all Wilsonetts Todays card is beautiful the luna paste gives a lovely shine and the decorative squares makes such a pretty frame

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. Love the design of the card today bit not too sure about the lack of colour (perhaps it looks different in real life). I wonder what it would look like with a soft pastel instead of the silver.

Hi Sue and everyone firstly the card today is stunning. I've been trying to use my stencils more lately and I only have a couple of the pastes but love using them. The colour combo is fantastic together.
I agree with Steph, Hunnymummy and Trish, I feel you are all my virtual family too, although I've not been here as long as some of you I don't know what I would have done without this wonderful group.
I love to come here to see Sue's cards but I also read all your comments and see what you have all been doing and that everyone is well and safe.
Take care Sue and my family of crafty friends hugs, Donna xx

Stay safe,

Hi Sue, a beautiful card showcasing the gorgeous Moonlit Sea Luna Paste which is gorgeous. I love the cosmos and magnolia corner both of which are well used on my cards. Also love the mix of octagons and decorative squares.
I too feel part of the lovely Wilsonette family headed by our lovely Sue and like any good family we help each other through both good times and bad times.
