Black & White Tuesday

 Good afternoon everyone hope your all enjoying Sue's new dies's today
I'm loving the Noble collection they are defiantly a Ally Pally purchase for me i think
I hope you are all well & keeping warm.

Today's card is Black & white i love this combination
Started with 8 x 8 white card blank Embossed with Creative Expressions Checkboard
designed by Sue Wilson. I stamped the Delicate lace stamp from the stamps to die for range
in a black stazon ink pad embossed with clear powder,cut it out with the matching die Napa valley just the cutting edge then cut the largest die in decorative frame set in black card Glued them together & glued to base card,i put a Creative Expression Vintage cameo in the centre.
Then cut in black card the Floral meadow striplet. Glued it to the side of base card,cut some of the small Camilla closed petals in white glued  them onto the striplet die.
Then cut the classic bow die the larger one in black & the other in white glued them together
cut the ribbon strip cut to size along the bottom added the bow.
The middle i cut in black the largest die from the decorative frame set,then the Napa valley cutting edge glued them together,stamped sentiment cut it out with the decorative frame set.
cut a Bitty bow in black & white glued to the bottom.

So what do you think ladies hope you like my card. If you pop into my blog,please leave me a comment.Your all welcome old & new that visit me.I love to read your comment's.
Thank you all for your support i really appreciate it.
With love & Hug's Lynda xx

  1. Wow oh wow this is so very classy and beautiful Lynda, I love how you have used the striplet die it really looks so elegant used the way you have. Your stamping looks fabulous I had to look twice at the picture, I thought it was a die cut at first and had me thinking which die is that where have I been to miss that die! Your bow on the front is so stylish and really lends itself to the overall effect of this beautiful card.
    Your little bow on the inside is really sweet and just adds that little extra touch, so lovely.
    With love and warm hugs

    1. Hello my friend
      Margaret you always say such lovely words about my cards.Sue' stamps really do stamp well. I didn't thik it needed colouring.
      Have you enjoyed the first day of Sue's new die's. Not sure I will bother to get the weave ones,but I love the Noble collection the square ones look bigger than the New York square's.
      Looking forward to tomorrow's collection.
      Enjoy the rest of your evening. Have you been baking today Margaret I thought I could smell cakes cooking mmmm.lol
      With much love & Hug's Lynda xx

  3. Hi Lynda.
    My word your sttamping is brilliant within the main focal point.
    Isnt Sue clever the way she makes all her dies work with each other. I just adore the meadow striplet with the deep camelia embossing.
    I must admit to not being keen on the weave dies - not for me.
    Hope you have had a good Tuesday.
    Hugs.

  4. Hi Steph,Thank you very much for your lovely comment. Like you I'm not keen on the weave die's,but I love the new Noble colection ornate pieced square & classic square,also both the rectangle one's too. I think the square's are bigger than the New York set's. Which I really wanted so happy bunny.Looking forward to tomorrow's delights. Thanks again Steph.

  5. Hi Lynda,
    OMG this is adorable. I love black and white cards and your stamping is superb, the stamp queen I think. The striplet die is fantastic and ties in beautifully with the focal element.
    Tony spoke to surgeon have to go back to dr to get referred and its looking like 95% that I have to have an operation.
    Have a lovely evening.
    warm hugs Theresa (TOB) xx

    1. Thank you so much Theresa,for your lovely comment. OH I hope the doctor doesn't take too long to do the referral,you have been in agony for long enough have you been given any stronger painkillers too help with the pain.
      I know an operation isn't nice but at leased your sholder will be sorted out & hopefully be pain free. Your always In my thoughts Theresa. Are you liking the new die's,I like the Noble sets not sure about the Weave die's though.
      Take care hope you get a good nights sleep.

    2. Thank you Lynda, I love sues dies but some of them seem similar to some of her other collections . I had a sneak peek on JS and did buy the cornflower dies as they always sell out quickly. Hugs Theresa (TOB) xx

    3. Hi Theresa,
      I was like that with the smaller die's thought they looked similar to the last release but after seeing todays post with the card I'v changed my mind about them.
      They look so different made up there are lovely.

  6. Hi Lynda.
    Oh my giddy aunt this is such a classy card Lynda and as Patricia said the stamping and the die make it look like lace. I love the this striplet die too it's so pretty. That cameo is gorgeous too.
    Sue's new dies have been amazing up to now and although I wont be buying the weave dies she made them so tempting with the beautiful card she produced. Loved the Noble dies though.
    Take care and keep warm .....gosh it's so cold out there. I would love to hibernate through this cold weather! Lol!
    Love and hugs Sheila xx

  7. Hi Lynda,
    Not sure what happened but I wrote on your blog this evening on the older post as I couldn't see any new post so if you kindly skip over you will see what I wrote and here I will have to say that you my friend have made a card that's is WONDERFUL! Black and white is always something special, the stamping is fab. and the striplet with the small camellia flowers, they are so pretty. I also liked the Noble set today but still like to see it up close so it will have to wait.
    Like to give ToB a huge hug through here and say sorry to see she might need a op ,hope you don't have to wait to long,sorry Lynda.
    Hope you all get a good night as possible, Warm Hugs Maria again lol xx

    2. Hi Lynda ,just on my way back from Sandra so thought I said Hello. Also been to Sue's this morning and I quite liked her dies this morning. You are right do that they look much better made into a card so you can see what they can be used as. Had a afternoon sleep yesterday ,only for a hour but that did it for me and the nightmare about Sandra didn't make it better Hihi I haven't started Broadhurst this time. Is it as good as the first serie ? No cardmaking, no own blog (not for me) but I like follow You ,Sandra and Sue's plus some other ones from the US, it's take nearly my day to read others comments etc. and also pinterest, still can't find Myra ( I think I tried everything by now) Oh well she might pop up sooner or later :-) Warm hugs to you and the family,including 4paws and beaky xx

    3. Hi Maria,
      I had trouble at first finding Mrya on pinserest try to find me Lynda Brock then look at who I follow & you will see Myra click on that it takes you to all her boards. Hope that helps. Yes I'm loving Sue's Die's now they don't look much in the packets do they but boy when she brings them to life in her sample cards WOW they are gorgeous I love the Noble collections.
      Haha What was Sandra doing in your nightmare Maria you did make me smile.

  8. Hi Lynda,
    What a smart card! It really is lovely. I love the bow and your focal point is beautiful! It's been quite a day!
    I need to know more about the weaving dies as they may help me with the kids work. They like weaving but I spend hours cutting strips. However it may not be suitable - we'll see.
    Love the Noble Squares though! I will order those.
    May
    I just say to THERESA, so sorry you are going to have to have an operation . Thinking of you and sending hugs! x
    Lynda, how is the tinnitus? Hope it's a bit better.
    Sending lots of love,
    Myra xxxx

  9. Hello lovely Myra,
    Thank you for your lovely words for my card.
    I like the Noble die's I will try & get them at Ally Pally,yes I was thinking if it's worth getting the weaving die's but I did like Sue's two sample cards. Oh it's so hard to choose,whe you only have a mouldy pension so have to see how much I save for All Pally.
    Love & Hugs Lynda xx
