Hi blog friends! Black, white and gold are the colours for today's card in case your monitor makes it look different! I embossed the gold background using the Flora embossibility folder. I extended it to do the entire background, even though it doesn't line up exactly. I cut two of the large Vintage Motifs out of white card. I cut them both in half, slightly offset. I mounted the two larger ones on the top of the card and rthe two smaller halves on the bottom. I stamped my sentiment on a strip of gold card and matted it diagonally across the card, covering the edges of the motifs. I added two strips of black card with mounting foam to frame the diagonal strip. I matted the entire background with a piece of white card for balance. A pierced mat of black card was added to the back. I tied a double bow using the gold silky crush ribbon. I made a six petal flower out of black cardstock. When the glue was dry, I dipped it in melted ultra thick embossing powder to create a porcelain flower for the centre of my bow. I love the way these flowers look! I added two black pearl stick pins to the bow and a swirl of black rhinestones to the top of the card to finish it off. I hope you like it! All for now, Sue x

Love the colours. Bling, bows and Rose shaped buttons - what more could you ask for? Jenx
Superb Card Sue, I can see another storage box with lots of this fabulous rose inside, may use this technique for other embellishments too!! Have you used this idea for other than roses? I'm so impressed.Thanks Sue. Mabex
Stunning card and I love the idea of the rose. That's one I will be trying out. Thanks for the ideas, I only wish my brain worked like yours.
Take care
Elegant and stylish. Awesome card! Hugs! xx
Hi Sue, fab card, must remember to try the flower idea at some point. Bx
Hi Sue,
wonderful design as always. Very classy. I must have a go at dipping my roses in embossing powder too, as I love the look of yours. Have a great crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
That flora embossing folder is one of my favourites. Beautiful. Hugs, Buttons x
Gorgeous! And that rose makes this a definite SueBow day!x
Morning Sue, like the card not sure the white with the gold works for me I think I would be out with the antique linen just to warm and soften the look, still,I would be delighted to receive it!
This is absolutely beautiful - I particularly love the black rose!
Hi Sue, beautiful card, the rose is delicious. Brst wishes, Lesley x
Very elegant card. Love, Julia xxx
This is a very sweet cars. Lovely
Morning, I love the idea of dipping the flower in melted ultra thick embossing powder. It creates a wonderful effect. Also like the layering of the sentiment across the card mounting the black strips. Must have a play with these ideas.
Thank you for sharing.
Elizabeth x
Morning Sue - I love the rose but think the sentiment band is too wide and heavy - perhaps it might have been better either thinner and/or with fancy edges? Just a thought
Regards
Clare
You would never think that the rose was just card, it looks stunning, absoutely gorgeous.
Great Card Sue. Embellishments are outstanding! TY
Fab Sue love the colour choice its works so well .The flower is fab too sets the whole card off.Laura O

Good Morning Sue. Beautiful card again. i am lucky enough to have the vintage motifs and they are a joy to work with. Although i don't aspire to be as good as you Sue i'm much happier with what I now produce.Thanks to you Sue.
Morning Sue, Another absolutely gorgeous card today. This looks a simple card to make but it is so elegant and striking. The 6 petal flower dipped in ultra thick enamelling is absolutely gorgeous, no-one would know that it is cardstock, I must give that a try myself. The bow, well what can I say - WOW. A truly beautiful card. Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue

Good morning. It's raining again so another day crafting coming up. Will have a go at making a porcelain flower. Will try with the aster to see if that's just as stunning. xx
Hi Sue - another classy card and that rose is just stunning! Who'd have believed that could be done with just a bit of old card?! Thanks for the idea. Kathy x
Hi Sue.Another winner I love the
flower with the embossing powder it
really looks like porcelain.
Nancyd xx
This card is amazing Sue. I absolutely love the rose and to think it's made from embossing powder to create the effect, that's definately one to try. Love Linda xxx
Wonderful card, can see why several people thought that the rose was a button thats a very clever technique that I must have a go at some time. Hugs xx
Hello Sue
A really lovely card ..... I love the flower, and of course your Dies!
Love Marg
A truly elegant card, love everything about it. The bow is fab and the black rose button is amazing. Will have to get the ultra thick embossing powder out as I have all these dies.
Thank you for your inspiration.
Have a lovely day.
Hugs June xx
Hi Sue,
Lovely card, gorgeous flower.
Erica x
Whoopee! I think this is one of the several EFs I ordered today, though could be mistaken. It was a process of elimination to keep my number down -- ha! This is such an elegant combo. Nice work, as always.
Very elegant and I love the flower done this way, something else to try
XX Sandra
I love the diagonal sentiment band across the card. Very effective. The only problem I have when I do big bows like yours and place them at the edge of the card is trying to fit them in the envelope!
Anyway, I've had a few peeks of the new summer dies and can't wait to see what you do with them all!
Good morning Sue
Today's card is so elegant I love the colours, style and the embellishments. I have a melting pot and use UTEE (ultra thick embossing powder) on flowers,toppers, die cuts etc, it gives them a look and feel of porcelain which I love.
Hugs x
A beautiful card it looks so chic and as for that rose WOW ,i think this is my favourite Sue, well until the next one .
Elaine H X
Hi Sue.
Another winner. The rose is fantastic. I have some Ultra thick powder in many colours from Australia, they would look great on flowers. Must try them.

Gorgeous card, fab details. Hugs,moni
my micro beads finally arrived yesterday..unfortunately the lid had cracked and they where all over the place...they don't call them micro for nothing! I ordered the double sided sticky sheets too and believe it or not the beads had got into them too and stuck all around the edges..Really dissapointed and been onto C+C..lets hope they have more in stock as can't wait to use them. it was easier to throw most of them out xxx Beverley
