Congratulations

 Hello crafters!  Today's card was a bit of an experiment that I tried.  I started by covering a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I gilded it with Silver Dream gilding flakes.  I wasn't sure if I would be able to, but I decided to stamp the Leafy Background stamp by Justrite using a clear Perfect Medium on top of it.  So far so good, I covered it with silver embossing powder and heated it.  Much to my surprise, I was able to heat emboss it without the sticky sheet melting!  I love all the options that I can do now because this worked!  I cut the Exquisite Labels Eleven out of coconut white card with the centre cut out and glued it atop my gilded piece.  I added mounting foam to the back and mounted it on to another slightly larger piece of white card, then a silver mat.  I stamped my sentiment (Justrite stamps)and embossed it with silver detail powder as well.  I cut it into a strip, forked the end and matted it with a matching piece of silver card.  I attached it from the edge of my card across the gilded area and proceeded to create a rose using the tutorial method at the top of my blog.  I "sugared" the rose with Diamond Sprinkles and seated it with some white tulle.  The finishing touch was my usual double white pierced matted layers and flatback pearls in the corners.  Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 9" in size.  All for now, Sue x

    Thank you for today's gift and for the new technique. As yet I have not tried the flakes - I must be the only Wilsonette that hasn't tried them!!
    The colouring is very gentle giving today's gift a peaceful feeling.
    It's back to C.cards again today. Happy Crafting everyone.

    Simply lovely Sue. It almost has the appearance of stone really unusual. If we never try anything new we just never know. It just goes to show I would have expected it to melt the gilding flakes let alone the adhesive sheet! LOL!

    Good morning Due,
    An experiment that has given fantastic results. I would have thought the heat would have melted the adhesive on the sticky sheet. Thank you for all you do for us, bringing all these wonderful ideas.
    A beautiful card, I love everything about it.
    Have a great day

    GM Sue - embossed gilding flake technique - who would have thought it? Sue Wilson of course! Love it. It was our 25th wedding anniversary yday and the hubby wanted to get me something special - he trawled the web to find an all day workshop you were doing in MK I think he said and he thought that's just the ticket - but them he saw it was in 2010/11 - so he was gutted! He even tried to see if he could buy a card on your website as he knows how much I want a Sue W original - spotty potty n all that! but he was scuppered there also. He did however manage to find a shop which sold a Happy Silver Wedding Anniversary to My Wife card which he said were rarer than hen's teeth. So all was well in the end. Love him. Here's to the next 25 years hopefully.

    Hi Sue,
    This is absolutely fantastic, never in a million years would I have thought of heat-embossing onto a gilded surface (because of the sticky sheet), but this looks BEAUTIFUL. Where do you get your ideas from, your brain must work a bit different from us normal "pedestrians".
    It's a lovely card, for very special people

    Hi Sue
    This card is gorgeous, very clean lines and elegant. I love the way you have embossed on the gilding flakes. I would never have even thought about doing that yet alone try it! Still, now I know that it is possible, no doubt I will be trying it! I tried stamping on gilding flakes a couple of days ago after seeing your card (the gilded bauble) but it smudged unfortunately. Will persevere though!

    Hi Sue,

    I must confess was not sure about this one to start with. However on close-up it is so elegant and the background lovely . Sometimes photos don't do things justice. Thanks again for a super idea.
    Love Myra

    Hi, this die is becoming one of my favourites love the flower too.Your videos are giving me a real sue fix while you are away, was wondering about the ribbon for the new flowers can you use any satin ribbon as the one you use is very expensive at £25, they are really beautiful. Hope your having a lovely time with the family, x sam
