life is better with you in it


 
this card is my version of a sue Wilson design
 
I made the green decorative card using a justrite background stamp in clear embossing powder and cut the heart shapes from the same card.  the lower picture shows that I glued 3 hearts together to give them dimension
 
the hearts are from heartfelt creations timeless amour die set
 
this sentiment has special meaning for me at the moment! ;)

i treasure you


 
this gold and black card is from sue Wilson's original
 
I have made a smaller embellishment for postal reasons!
 
a lovely way to use sue's 'to die for' stamp and embossing folder, together with the new gilding waxes.

never ending story


these 2 cards are based on sue wilsons recent design
her original was in the blue and black but i made a rose pink and burgundy one also.
i really love these new border dies, and the oval has so much detail in it.

laugh more & worry less

 
this gold and pink delight is another of sue wilson's designs
 
i used a paler background and vintage floret flowers stamped with the same gold embossing powder used in the rest of the design, with a cheery lynne ivy corner flourish

Best wishes

I am posting from my phone because my laptop is not well for a few days!
These 2 cards are designs by sue Wilson that I have replicated. 
The flowers are vintage floret with silver embossing powder. 
The centre of the filigree delight shape is stamped with the new cathedral lace die (Sam Poole shop) and buffed with pewter gilding wax.

to a beautiful you


2 cards with different sentiments from an original design by sue wilson
 
i love the window die from spellbinders with the heartfelt matching stamps
 
in my versions i have used the grand squares as layers
 
i read a great tip for more detailed embossing on detailed dies -- use a ball head embossing tool when the shape is still in the die.  it worked a dream on the tags!
