Good Saturday morning. I had a wonderful package of Susan Tierney Goodies in the mail today when I got home from work. I was especially excited to play with Susan’s Door and Wreath set .
Here’s what I came up with.I applied ink to the inside of the embossing fold with my brayer and embossed the paper placing the top of the embossing folder face down on my Big Shot. I wanted the brick to be light and the mortar to be a little darker. I attached the brick embossed layer to the card base. I embossed the door and decided to cut it out so I could pop it up with mounting tape on the brick layer. I liked the door being offset and allowing more of the brick to show on one side.
I cut the petals to create my rose and assembled it following the steps in Susan’s rose video. I punched a few branches and cut some of the smallest ivy and attached to the door with glossy accents to create a floral spray for the door. I attached tails of pink ribbon to add another element of softness. Here’s a closer view.
I added a nob to the door using gold paper pen for the finishing touch. I love that stuff.
I have not heard from Fran Ferguson to claim her blog candy gift. I don’t have an email to contact her. If anyone knows how to contact Fran please let her know to contact me at kittie747@cfl.rr.com. If I haven’t heard from her by Sunday evening I will do another random drawing for a new winner and announce it at the beginning of the week.
I hope you have a great weekend. Take some time to create and get your fingers inky. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Kittie - what a SWEET door to come home to! Great embossing technique, pretty wreath, and that IS a perfectly rounded pearl for a door knob!
