Hi guys! A weekend break from the Christmas cards, but they're back for today and a great big bow too for those of you having bow withdrawls! Okay, it's probably just me (and Sue P, see I do read the comments!) Cream and Gold for the ornament card, which is definitely more traditional than some of the others I have shown. I used a small printed decorative paper in a really neutral tone for the background. On milk card, I stamped the sentiment with a clear perfect medium pad and embossed it in gold. I scored the piece with vertical score lines around the sentiment for interest. I added this piece to the bottom of the card and added a small strip of gold card as a border. The new layered scalloped lace was added down the left side of the card for texture. I cut out the Holiday Ornament using the largest die and then one of the smaller dies for the inside, creating a frame. While the ornaments were still in the die, I placed them atop the small polka dot mask and embossed the pattern into them, leaving a nice clean edge from the dies. For the inside of the frame, I embossed one of the snowflakes on to milk card. While the die was still in place, I inked it with Antique Linen to bring the pattern out a bit more. I added a flatback pearl to the centre of the snowflake and a small bow to the top of my ornament as an accent. I mounted the ornament on foam pads over my embossed snowflake to create my focal element. I tied a double bow from the silky crush ribbon and added it to my card where the small gold border met the lace border. A couple of pearl stick pins and a square Dazzler finished it off nicely. The paper piercing around the edge and a small pearl swirl finished off the rest of the card. Are you in the mood for Christmas yet? All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue what a stunning card I love it. And I'm like you everything as to have a big bow on it. A bow to me is the finishing touch. I got to say this card could be my favourite up to now. Looking forward to the 21st hope you'll give us a sneaky peek. Take care Sue.

Hi Sue, georgeous card again as usual must think about Christmas cards myself you give such inspiration. Cheers Jess xx
I just love your christmas cards, different but very elegant.
This one is really pretty - I was wondering about embossing the bauble while still in the die - didn't the die chew up your embossing folder? Not sure I would be brave enough to try that one.
Hi Sue - lovely card today, so many techniques in it. And that lace down the side is gorgeous. TY. Kathy x
Hi Sue,
you did it again - beautiful.
Another lovely card Sue and I do love the big bows too,still working on them myself but getting better. Also really loved the poppies yesterday. Poppies are my favourite flowers, so will keep my eyes open for that stamp set. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful creations.
Stunning card, and must admit I love the subtle or traditional colours best
Very elegant Sue, I love the chic vintage style of this one and thank you for the bow, I know how Sue P was feeling, we need big bows and blingtastic cards, its as important as breathing ;-) hugs Helen O xxx
Very pretty card - more your usual style!
Gorgeous card Sue, really elegant & stunning... love this one 100%.. Hugs May x x x
I have these ornament dies and am really enjoying seeing how you use them. Great idea to emboss the shapes with the dots! I thought I was going blind when you mentioned the stick pins and I couldn't see them in the main photo... ;D
pretty card!! what i love here?? the scallop lace and bow! :) gorgeous!
What a beautiful card...who wouldn't be thrilled to get something so lovely.
Margaret O
Hi Sue
Simply stunning! I haven't tried embossing the card while in the die yet, but I must try because it looks amazing.
Hugs x
Love it! love it! Love it! Sue it is beautiful even with the bow! LOL!

Hi Sue. Another really pretty card. I am not sure how you could emboss a dotty background folder while the spellbinder die is still attached. How does that work? I love everything about this card, it is perfect. I really like the colours too!! That bow is fab!! I love the lace but don't have any myself. I think replacing the lace with a morrocan or Asian border would look just as nice instead.(or any other intricate borders too!!) Love Tres x x x
This is stunning, simply stunning! Thank you for such lovely samples. xxx
Hi Sue, what a stunning card! Love Sam xxx
Hi Sue, what a stunning card! Love Sam xxx
Beautiful card, the lace is gorgeous so pretty, love the embossed bauble, we are so lucky to have all this equipment available to us. So that we can create beautiful cards, perhaps not to your standard Sue. Hugs Ann
LOVELY CARD SUE
Oh Sue, what a be-ooooo-tiful bow!
I haven't tried to make a double one yet but will start with this one - only thing is I didn't go for the square Dazzlers, couldn't see me using anything but the round ones, but square is perfect on this card so now they are something else I need!
I love the colours you've used, so elegant. A really lovely card.
Sue xx
Oh wow! what a classy card, and it just had to have a bow x
Hi Sue,
A very peaceful card and I love the way you have embossed the bauble with a mask.
love from Jackie D
Hi Sue

Hi Sue...I love the cream theme...very classic and with a bow...well done again!
What size dazzlers do you use????
Thanks and take care. Deborah. :)
Hi Sue, oh this is stunning! I must admit I'm a bit of a traditionalist for Christmas colours so this one is definitely my cup of t. The lace is beautiful and of course that lovely bow. Like Norma must try embossing as well as just cutting out. Have a good day, l&h Christine H xx
A perfect card Sue, love the colour combination

Beautiful card Sue very elegant! Must say I love your bows they are a Sue Wilson trademark.
Sue this looks even better close up :) Hugs Allison x
Hello
I stumbled across your blog, you obviously enjoy your craft, its a pleasure seeing another crafter get pleasure from what they do.
Being a gilder I use gold leaf and imitation gold leaf rather a lot. I wonder if you have thought of applying gold to your cards? There are also several ways to apply antique or distressed finishes.
If you have a moment pop over to my site and take a look at how to gild on paper, its easy using imitation gold leaf, and you can create various antique and distressed finishes.
Good luck.
Richard

Good Afternoon Sue,
Your tonal designs are truly your forte (tho' all are a joy to behold) This is lovely - a design very much in keeping with the sentiment I think.
Happy Days!
