You Are So Special
Hello bloggers! I selected this pale green card for my card and I used the Double Stitched Ovals to cut an aperture in the centre. I cut a thin white frame to go around the aperture. Using the Floral Rectangle die, I cut several out of white card and nipped it away from the rectangle edge. I added it around the oval frame, creating an oval shaped frame with the die. I used white PVA glue dots on the foliage around the frame. I cut the thin scalloped border from the Scalloped Poinsettia Border die and glued it beneath the oval frame. I cut the You Are So Special Block sentiment out of white gloss card, shadowed it with pale green and glued it to the inside of the frame. I cut several of the flowers from the Floral Rectangle in shades of pink and glued them in the lower corner. I added some white leaves as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 9 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue.
I'm sure every member of this fabulous family will fall in love with this inspiration. The Easter celebration samples were so pretty, so cute, and bought smiles to our faces, but my own personal opinion is that this is YOU, your talents are many but I look at this as a true Sue Wilson design. You and our family keep me smiling no matter what comes my way and for that I love your inspirations, I love how you share your love of craft, and I love everything that's Particraft.
Have a lovely day everyone xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, you amaze me every day with your samples, and as Steph Cotterill says this is a YOU card, elegant, stylish, one of my favourite colours and die sets, yes this is absolutely amazing, love it to bits.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Morning Sue.
A beautiful card Sue thank you.
We are back to your usual serene cards.
Take care Kitty.
Good morning Sue, such a pretty card and so elegant too. Who would have guessed that the floral elements around the frame started from a rectangle die, fabulous . I can almost hear you saying don’t look at your die for what it is.

Good Morning Sue. What a beautiful card today. And such a gorgeous colour ... How calming is this card. Like STEPHANIE and JUNE I agree this is a YOU card.

I have to apologise for not commenting yesterday on your last Easter card. I love everything you do Sue ... And I know how hard you work but I feel I have said enough about Easter cards ... They were all lovely and some great one for the kids but unfortunately not for me. This is only my opinion and no offence is meant Thankyou.
Good morning Sue,
A very elegant card & one that would suit many occasions. Yvonne xx
