Whilst I am here I would really love you to check out the Bearly Mine Blog - they have a MEGA candy giveaway at the moment - you can find it here http://bearlymine.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/mega-blog-candy.html.
Anyway this is the card I was thinking about in the dentist's chair on Wednesday - at least it took my mind off the drill that sounded like something out of Formula One inside my head.
I really love these butterflies, they are both from Spellbinders.
Isn't this sentiment sweet and so lovely when it happens!

I hope you like my dentist's chair creation - I'm quite pleased with it (wonder if the meds I took had helped- lol). Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my wafflings - if you have time, please leave a comment 'cos I love reading them.
Big hugs to you all

Absolutely gorgeous Sue. I have been looking at this die for a while now and this is the nicest card I have seen made with it so far.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Sue! I have just bought the Anja die but not used it yet. Glad you had something to distract your thoughts in the dreaded dentist's chair!! Love from Christine x
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Sue. I went to dentists this morning but just for a check up lol huggles hun xxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteStunning card Sue. Love the Red Black and White together. You've used some stunning dies too. Have a great weekend.

This is stunning Sue. I love the colours and wonderful detailing.
ReplyDeleteThose butterflies are gorgeous, maybe you could enter this into the latest Ladybug Crafts Challenge??
I hope you have a great weekend
Hugs Sue
Brilliant card Sue. I am impressed with you all I do when I am in the chair is stare frantically at the clock willing it to go round so I can escape!! The butterflies are gorgeous and love the black and white with flash of red - so elegant! x
ReplyDeleteWow this is beautiful! So elegant and I love the colour scheme! Thanks for joining us at Challenges 4 Everybody! Hugs xx Cara xx DT
ReplyDeleteWow this is stunning! I love black and white on a card and the detail in this card is just exquisite. I hope your trip to the dentist wasn't too bad. Hugs sharon xxxx
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card, like the black and white with the shot of red and of course wonderful butterflies - ticks all my boxes :) xx
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow. Sue this is absolutely beautiful, everything about it is exquisite. Think the visit to the dentist was definitely worth it :). Hope the planting went well and you have enjoyed your Friday, love Christine H xx
ReplyDeleteWell dear lady this was definitely worth the wait. What a stunning card! I love the little touches of red you mentioned to me and am so glad it wasn't blood related...lol!! I don't think any gorriness (is that even in the dictionary?) contributed to this card but maybe you are right and the drugs helped because it is certainly dreamy.
ReplyDeleteI have the same black and white paper pack from create and craft, its fabulous and it sets off this card perfectly.
Have a great weekend Hugs Linda x
HI Sue,
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this yesterday. My loss wasn't it. What a superb, and fantastic card.
If that's what you can create out of sitting in the dentist chair, I'm ready to go everyday. lol. Just superb the design and cplours used.
Have a wonderful crafty day .
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Sue, I missed this yesterday...but it is absolutely gorgeous. I was just on Sue Wilson's blog where she has a splash of red on a black and white card as well today...it really makes the card pop! Good luck with the challenges, Carole Z X
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sue - I so love the intricacy of it - perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou asked if I choose papers before colouring an image and yes, you are right. I used to colour an image and then try (for hours) to find a paper to match but I just find it easier to pick the papers first.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving me some lovely comments as always.
enjoy the rest of your weekend.
