Here is this week's Bold and Bright color graphic courtesy of Adam George at Embrace Life Photography! These photos are so inspiring! And if you need even more FAB ideas, check out the DT creations (names listed in sidebar) as well as the Gorgeous card by our May Guest Designer, Lin Brandyberry!
Here's my card! It's a thank you card to Karen who had a box of stamps she was going to sell or give away and I saw this set on top. We don't even know the manufacturer but I asked if I could have it and she said Yes! I made this card to Thank her and now I'm afraid she's going to want it back! LOL!
I stamped the lacy background in red and clear embossed it for some shine and pizazz. The yellow text is from a Tim Holtz Christmas stamp set. You can't read what it says so I use it quite a lot for background. Why just wait for Christmas to use it???!
I once again used PTI's tiny tags with a red Prima gem flower. I tied red baker's twine around the coaster tag to match the red twine I tied around the card and into a bow.
Here is the inside of the card. I wanted to use a couple more stamps from the stamp set.
Thanks so much, Karen, for your generosity! I hope you like your card!

Gorgeous card Sue! That white embossed doily image is stunning! Love the story behind your work of art!
How pretty! Love the way you used this weeks colors! I'm sure your friend will love it!
Gorgeous Sue, particularly the Starburst Lace in red. Lucky you scoring a box of stamps, hope to see more of them soon.
Wonderfully vibrant Sue, I love that big doily it has such impact! So many lovely details on your card, I love the tiny little tag and bakers twine too. XX
Stunning!! I love the big, vibrant doily - it's fantastic. And there are so many pretty details too - the tag is so sweet. Your friend will love it!

I love these colors! Lucky you to "find" this neat set! I love all the touches you added. And I FINALLY got the tiny tags - yesterday!!
This card is wonderful....so many great details. I can't believe you cut that doily by hand. And I just love the mini tags. And the background! You go girl!
She just might want it back. Super cute and lots of bold color. :)

Your work is exquisite! Thanks for stopping by my blog tonight!
I am glad you cut out that STUNNING doily because it's the amazing eyecatcher of this fabulous card. You can create pure beauty with red. I can only create a disaster with red:)I am such a dork with that color; really! This weeks' colors are a huge challenge for me :)
Oops off track; I'm sorry.
I think this is one of your best cards ever. And it's always lovely to be here Sue. There is always a lovely and gorgeous card to look at. And I just LOVE your style!

Oh my goodness, what a lot of work! Karen will be pleased :) I love what you did with the doilies and why not use that Xmas stamp throughout the year?
This card has a real glam look to it and just look at the "Tiny Tags" sigh

Gorgeous card, I can't believe she didn't want that stamp set. I love the inside and the sentiment is lovely.xx
I love all the lacy/doily images on this card!! Beautiful details:)
This is such an awesome card--it really brightened my day! I like the off-center doily and the lacy accents!
Sue, this is wonderful! Love the patterns and detailing. I see you are rockin some fabulous doily dies that I keep telling myself I do not need. Oh, dear! Lovely card!
Love your card, Sue. The doilies are fabulous and love how you used a Christmas stamp for the background. If you can't read it, it's perfect for any card.
gorgeous!! Loving the red lace and the swirls! Hugs Juls
Another sizzler of a card! Wow! You make red sensational and it's never been a real favorite of mine.
