Good evening all! I had a great time today with the POTD shows I did. Thank you all for your support and lovely emails. A big thanks to Jo Channon for handling the bulk of the shows this time too. I have had my hands full getting two booths packed and ready to go for our Big Stamp and Scrapbooking Show this Saturday and Sunday at the Alexandra Palace in London. If you are planning on attending, please stop by and say hello as I am demonstrating on the Rubbernecker stand just inside the door to your right.I would love to put faces with the names that I see visiting the blog! As you all have been very good at leaving comments and we almost hit 100 (94 at last check), I have decided to give you this one and do the drawing early. I was trying to put off posting for just a wee bit longer to see if we hit that magic goal, but the show must go on as they say. I put all the numbers in a basket from 1 to 94, mixed them all up and I have drawn out NUMBER 27. As I count down the comment list, I see that "Julia" is our first winner of the new comment game! Please email me your details and I will post off your prize! Don't forget the game is ongoing, leave a comment after every post to keep playing.
A quick rundown on the card sample that I've posted. I used our new A4 sized mask (autumn leaves) to emboss my background. I then took the black soot distress ink direct to the paper and swiped over the top lightly to bring out the embossing. I inked around the edges with it too, giving the whole background an interesting haunting look. I used the new postage stamp nesties to cut the centre focal point and matted and layered them, as well as using the new postage stamp edgebilities to create a border. I cut my flower out of several sheets out of an old dictionary that I purchased in the States, inked the edges with wild honey distress ink and mounted it in the corner with some black vintage ribbon. I added some black swirl rhinestones and I used our new gold PVA dimensional glue (both of which are brand new and will be on the stand at Ally Pally!) around the edges to frame and finish the card. I hope you like it! Let me know what you think. All for now, Sue x

Love the A4 masks and am hoping to pick some up on Saturday at AP.
Love this card both the construction and the colours - can't wait to have a go.
Unfortunatelyt forgot to record the show today but caught some of the last one - great samples as usual
Hi Sue, I watched all of the PoD shows and loved all of your and Jo's demos. The new edgeabilities are lovely and one of the things that persuaded me to finally splash out on the Grand Calibur. I am now eagerly awaiting its arrival. Too far for me to come to Alexandra Palace but I hope you have a great week-end.
Frances (haven't really got the hang of this blogging business yet!)
love the mask it was unfortunatey when i found it but will have a look and see if anybody has it at Ally Pally. I will definately stop by and say hello. Look forward to seeing you there.
Love the background. Good luck at Ally Pally - won't be there unfortunately as will be taking my son to uni. Might have more crafting time when my washing and ironing pile is smaller after he's gone!
Have a great weekend at Ally Pally. To far for me to make it unfortunately. Loved all your shows today and Jo's and recorded them all and was lucky enough to win the all white card on your show with Dave. Looking forward to receiving it. All the samples and demos were beautiful.
A gorgeous card, I love the colours together, the shows today were excellent xx
Stunning shows - and out of this world samples - I can`t believe I have finally worked out how to post a comment after it keep getting thrown off in google - Can`t wait to see the Ally Pally show - i`m hoping to get nearer to you & your stand as you are always so busy - still it`s just great to admire your work however it comes
love the card, especially the background technique. must buy the mask at ally pally
Hope you have a fun time at Ally Pally Sue, so wish I could make it.

I love the mask, i also love the colour of the c&c grand calibur, looks like i'm going to have to put one on my xmas list, it'll match the colour in my living room lol. Kath x.
Oh my goodness, that background sure kicks some a*s on its way ^^ And your coloring on it is perfect. Great to have old dictionaries if the outcome is like your flower!
Hugs from Finland, Eemeli

Well done to you and Jo the Spellbinder shows were magic. Looking forward to seeing you at Ally Pally.
I didn't think I'd like the postage stamp dies, but the way you've layered them us has really won me over. They are lovely! Hope the show goes well and wish I could go. Helen x
WOW what an outstanding card. Love the drama in it.
Afraid I won't be going to A Pally this time as I will be on my way to Orlando for 3 week's hoping to get some time to shop whilst there.
Have a good one.
Sue
Another wow card sue. I managed to order the masks just in time before they sold out and I had ordered the postage stamp in the morning so now you have convinced me I made a good choice.I missed your demos my recorder didn't record I was not a happy bunny. Enjoy Ally Pally wish I could go. Take care. Christine x
Fab card Sue it almost has a Halloween feel to it! Hope Ally Pally goes well I will be away unfortunately as I love the show :)

Wish I could be at the show but way too far away. Looking forward to seeing the new Gold Glue, where can we buy it from online?
Sue your card is stunning, i seen you demo the backing paper you have used and it looked fab. I purchased quite a few sets from the POTW show and promised my OH,s card i would not use it again but the same night POTD started my big shot gave up the ghost so what better excuse than to use the card ONE LAST TIME, LOL.
What a lovely card. The flower looks great and I will be digging out some old books to try this myself. Enjoy the shows. Karen x
Gorgeous and very unusual card. Hope you enjoy Ally Pally.

Stunning card as always. I loved the new a4 masks. I'm saving my pennies for a Grand Calibur so I can start to play with things like the masks. I love my Cuttlebug but the more I see if the GC the more I want one.
Love and Light.
