Best Wishes
Good Sunday morning all! I started by cutting the Swirly Scrolls Background out of both black card and gold mirror card. I shadowed the black die cut with the gold one. then added an antique gold backing piece. I cut about ten of the Pierced Layered Flowers, added the outer outline and black centres then arranged them in a wreath. I cut a white vellum flag and used the Best Wishes sentiment across it. I cut the sentiment out of both antique gold and black card, and shadowed it then glued it across the vellum and added it across the wreath. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 9 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning and wow, what a stunning start to a Sunday. Black, gold and white - the perfect combination in my opinion and I use it a lot as we move into the middle of December, or for something extra extra special, there's something regal and expensive looking, and this gorgeous inspiration is not only your signature, we know it comes from the mind and hands of the best of the best. I'm not halfway through the launch dies yet but I'm tripping over my valentine list already and so is 'my keeper ' lol anyway I will continue to go through the launch I missed, your new dies and inspiration are just what you need as we walk into our springtime garden with new spring bulbs breaking through the soil waiting in anticipation for the delicate colours, you have caught this season beautifully Sue, I'm loving every day of your new dies, thank you for making me smile, and for today's stunning inspiration. Lots of gentle hugs for anyone not feeling well today, thinking of you all xxx
Good Morning Sue. And OHHH WWOWW. What a surprise this morning. I love it. Very different and it certainly looks very expensive. I think it would suit any age group. But I think In my oppinion ... The gothic community would love this one. Thankyou Sue Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Hi Sue. Love the expensive-looking card today. At first glance I would have thought that the background had been created using paste through a stencil and was really surprised to read how you had made it! A lot quicker and less messy.

A very elegant card. I know this has been made using your new dies, but it really reminds me of your earlier cards. Maybe it’s the colours you’ve used.
