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

Hi Sue, lovely elegant card, background really stands out. Keep the experiments going and the inspiration coming our way. Bx
Your ideas get better and better, what a stunning card xx
morning Sue
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.
Janet x
Such an awesome result again from one of your tests, and it looks fabulous Sue. I love it when you´re expirimenting with things this way and getting these awesome results. You´re fantastic and always get such fantastic results too.
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.
Morning Sue,
Love the card! A great idea with the embossed gilding flakes. I shall have to give it a go.

Great card Sue.
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
Hugs, Rose

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,
WOW Sue - love the card, just gorgeous.
Much love,

Such an elegant creation. Love the little shimmer on the rose and the background is amazing.

THE EMBOSSING ON TOP OF THE GILDING
FLAKES IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.THE CARD IS JUST FAB.
Hi Sue
Another lovely crisp and bright card to match the first frost here and makes a really Classy and Sassy card. Just goes to show not all experiments go wrong.
I was in Richmond Park this morning just as the mist was clearing and wanted to snap a deer for my Christmas Greetings, and capture the frost.I did not see one today, but this card has given me some other ideas.
Thank you for inspiring creations that inspire us all.

Many thanks
Janette xx
Hi Sue, well only you would have thought of playing like this. I would have thought the flakes would have melted!! The silver embossing is such an effective idea which, I think, highlights rather than detracts from the flakes. love from Jackie D
Hi Sue
