Hello there my crafty friends! This is one of the cards that I made when I was trying out the newest
Vintage coloured Matt Chalk Polishes. I started with a piece of white card and coated it with the
Opulent Olive Matt Chalk Polish. Next I embossed it with the
Graduated Dots embossing folder. Using the
Sky Blue Matt Chalk Polish, I went over the top of the embossing, just lightly picking up the dots with the blue colour to make them stand out more. I made a white multi-layered frame using the
Double Stitched Squares and added it with mounting foam over the embossed background. I added a smaller white frame to the centre. I cut the
Sending Love & Hugs die in both white and black and shadowed it, then glued it to the centre of the card. Using the
Striped Nasturtium die, I cut three flowers all with a white base and a black striped piece added on top. I attached the flowers in opposite corners and accented them with white Lace Edged Leaves. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size.
Don't forget to check back later this afternoon as I will be posting the names of the die winners from the recent launch. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue.
A beautiful card thank you, pretty colour.
Take care stay safe and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue, a very pretty card this morning, that shade of green is lovely. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Hi Sue. This is a real Sue Wilson sample full of inspiration and ideas. Even if we dont have the exact collection of dies it's easy enough for us to use what we have in our crafty stash. I'm not usually a lover of green, green sweets were also a no no when I was centuries younger lol but this shade of green is quite nice isn't it? I do love those flowers some of my favourites and my go to flower dies on more than a few occasions. So I'll send my love to all and wish you all good luck for later. Have a good day. XXX
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh wonderful, I am loving the way you have used the graduated dots embossing folder and then gone over lightly enhancing the dots, it look so special. The flowers and frame are perfect for this card, thank you for sharing. xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Lovely card today, very pretty.

I don’t use green as a focal colour but I am changing my mind The little pop of blue on top adds so much Very pretty
Love that shade of olive, and with the blue
on the dots really stands out. I have these
flowers, and use them a lot.
Stay safe,

Good morning Sue and all, this is a fabulous Sue Wilson card one that you can use what ever embossing folder and dies you have in your craft room.Lynda Croft X. Stay safe everyone keep crafting X
Hi Sue, what a lovely colour chalk polish which shows green is not just for leaves. WakeyL
Good morning Sue Lovely card I really like the embossed background and the pretty shade of green
Hi Sue and everyone, a very pretty card, definitely a classic Sue style. I wasn't sure at first if the dots were embossed or debossed, the extra colour really makes them stand out.
As with Steph, im not usually a green lover either, but I used to love green sweets, hated orange and yellow ones haha. However the green is growing on me, the more I look at your card Sue. Love the flowers too, the two colours really make them pop.
Hugs to anyone needing one today and good luck to everyone for later.

Another lovely post and particularly taken with the embossing folder...Green is always a fav for me so this post is one that stands out. Love it..
Hi Sue, a lovely card and if the olive polish is anything to go by I think I am going to love the colours of the new Vintage Matt Chalk Polishes.
Good Luck to everyone for the drawing this afternoon.

Hi Sue this is a gorgeous card. I love it. I could do with a hug right now. Take care. Hugs Jackie
I don’t just like this card! I really really like it. The embossing stands out with the added finish and the touch of black is just enough to add interest. The flowers are a favorite and are perfect without overwhelming it. I’m not a big fan of the color green but it adds an almost peaceful feel to the card and I really like it.

Everyone, have a great Thursday,

Hi Sue another lovely card with such a useful sentiment, especially during these funny times. The Nasturtiums flowers are lovely and I always get comments on them when I use them. Xx
Lovely card.
A really elegant card. I love it!! X
Super card and very Spring and fresh looking x
Hi Sue. Love these cool colours that you have used today. I hadn't even realised that you had gone over the spots with blue, I thought it was the light reflecting off them and couldn't understand why as the green is a matt colour!
Lisbeth
