on your special day

 

Another card based on Sue Wilson's previews

for her latest Spring Collection.

 

I used a white felt flower I made with the new Foldover Flowers die, which I tinted with peri Adirondack ink.

The background die is reduced in length by cutting it in half, then disguising the join with pearls.

just for you

 

Sue Wilson has a video demo of this card on her blog

 

I havn't done gold and black for a while.  This effect is just black card with gilding wax over it.

The background is made using mica flakes.

just a note

 

Another of Sue Wilson's Spring releases

 

I used a dark pink card from my stash.

The embossed section was covered in a double sided sticky sheet before embossing and then diamond sprinkles added.

 

I wanted the sentiment to be prominent so I glued about 4 cut layers together for depth.

I used the Camellia open petal die for the flowers and slightly crimped the petals for a different look.

wishing you a wonderful day

 

This is my version of another of Sue Wilson's recent previews.

 

The embossed background I have used Sue's new 'grouting' technique where the polar white texture paste is applied over the embossed card.  Lovely effect!

 

Another first for me is the felt flower embellishment!!  I never got on with felt before as it is very delicate and I always managed to squish the flower before it finished, but using Sue's new 'Foldover Flower' die it is easy peasy!!  I love them!

you're delightful

I gave this lots of depth in the layers.

happy birthday

 

This is one of those Sue Wilson designs that just wow-ed me!! 

 I HAD to make this!!

 

Definitely one of my very favourites.

 

I may have over-inked the flowers a little but in real time it doesn't show as much as in this photo.
