Wake up....little Suzi!

Welcome, to a beautiful Saturday!  Time to wake up and enjoy the day!  Hence my title for this post, the Everly Brothers song, to go with this lovely Wee Suzi stamp from Wee Stamps.  Maybe you were lucky enough to pick this up as a freebie the other week, if not, it is available for purchase here.

I've done something different with the card this time, using an MS border punch, but only along the sides of the front of the card.  This gives a very lacy effect, and I've edge with China Blue DI on the inside, for a nice contrast.  This same colour of DI was used to edge around the image and to colour the lace doily.

The image is coloured with Prismas, cut out with my Nestie Die and attached with foam tabs.  The DP is Prima, from the Fairy Flora paper stack, and this time you will note I've actually used flowers!  I don't tend to use these that much, as most of my cards go in the mail, although I do like the effect.  The roses are from Michaels, while the white blossoms are from Wild Orchid Crafts.   A little extra bling has been added with a few gems and a silver peel-off border.

Thanks for visiting again, and also for all your lovely comments.  Much appreciated!  Now, go have yourselves a wonderful weekend!
