Hi guys! Today's card is one of those that you really need to see in person so I thought it would be perfect for the Wednesday card giveaway! You know the drill by now, if you want to be included in the drawing for the card, just leave a comment on the blog. I started with a piece of
kraft card and stamped the rose from
What Defines Us stamp set all over it. I used a
clear Perfect Medium pad and then heat embossed them in
white powder. Using
distress markers, Spun Sugar and Shabby Shutters, I coloured the roses. Just a little word about that, though, when you colour with markers on kraft card, it doesn't show up until it dries, it just looks like wet card for a few minutes! But then the colour comes through and it really pops with the white embossing. After I finished all the colouring, I embossed the background with the
Tied Together embossing folder. I extended the pattern to cover the entire background. I cut one of the
Scalloped Borders two in
coconut white card. I used
blush card to make a matching mat layer for it and glued the piece across the bottom portion of the card. I tied a messy bow out of
seam binding and topped it with a hessian (burlap) rose from my craft stash. For the focal element, I cut the tag from the
Vintage Bracket and Label die set eight times. I crisscrossed the tags to give a pretty round decorative back piece for my sentiment. I stamped the sentiment from the
What Defines US set on to
kraft card using a
clear Perfect Medium pad. I heat embossed it in white powder and cut it out with the
Stately Circles. I inked through the die with
Antique Linen as an accent. I cut another circle in
blush card and slightly offset it behind the sentiment. I finished the card with a double white mat layer and a handmade stick pin to give it a bit of bling. Finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size.
Now for a bit of a confession... I left a box of cards with a coworker to post out for the card giveaway each week while I am in the States. I thought I would remember which ones I left her but it seems that I have already posted several of them on other days. So I thought I could just add in one of them here for a multiple card giveaway! So included for this drawing is this extra card. All for now, Sue x
2 Stunners today. Thinking of Heather and Steph. Good luck for tomorrow Cameeli
ReplyDeleteGM Sue - love both but especially the 2nd one!

ReplyDeleteA beautiful card. Love the colours and the rose background is beautiful. Best wishes, Anne O
Hi Sue. You are spoiling us again! Not 1 but 2 beautiful cards being given away: ) I love both of them, wonderful "What defines us" stamp and hessian flower! Colouring on kraft card reminds me somehow of the "Magic painting" books we had as children. I suppose it's the way the colour apperears as if from nowhere! Good luck for tomorrow Cameeli. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. They are both beautiful cards, but I live the way the roses just pop on the kraft card. Fantastic xx

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLovely cards today. Good tip for colouring on Kraft card, thanks for that. Love the rose stamp. Good luck for tomorrow Cameeli and hope you're feeling better too. I went for a teaching job interview and on the morning completely lost my voice & had to teach a lesson as part of the interview, then unexpectedly the fire alarm went off & I was standing outside in rain & snow for 10 minutes which didn't help - but still got the job, so keep your chin up & just go for it! Steph- hope you're ok . Love to all Alison xx
Hi Sue, beautiful cards, but my favourite is the rose card. What a lovely sentiment. Anyone would love to own one of these cards, and I think the rose one would be lovely in a box frame. Bx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Absolutely love the card with the bracket dies on, these are one of my favourite dies. Nicola x
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue
ReplyDeleteFirst I would like to thank everyone for their kind wishes yesterday you are such an amazing group of people. Everything went fine at hospital, Nora wouldn't it have been funny if we had both turned up at the same hospital? Steph hope your feeling better today after your treatment.
Now back to today's card, again I would never have thought of colouring onto Kraft card you give us so many brilliant ideas Sue. I love the burlap flower which reminded me that I have them and had forgotten about them. I would love to receive any of today's cards they are both fabulous. Good luck Cameeli

Morning Wonderful Sue, Morning Wonderful Wilsonettes. I also want to say to Cameeli that I shall be thinking of you tomorrow at your interview and hope the angels take over your voice and kick that devil from your throat ! I suppose they wouldnt be such angelic angels though if they stuck the boot in ! Anyway hon, lots of luck.
ReplyDeleteHeather, stand back from that GC or invest in cricket pads for your legs (who said crafting had to be glam) : )
Thank you Sue for the chance of receiving two magnificant W.O.W's (Wonders of Wilson) both beautiful in different ways. I've never used craft card but will now and thank you for the tip of the colours not showing straight away, not knowing that I may have filed it under 'B' ! So I'll remember that.
Heads down and no stopping today after my lazy naughty do nothing day yesterday ! And I must experiment with my silicone mat and pricking ruler to save the pain in my hands. On that subject - try and get your ruler and pricking tool from the same store to make sure you get the correct 1 as it is quite fine, nothing worse than getting tools home, feeling all excited to get going only to find the two wont get on !!! Those pesky flakes loved me until I got them home, the Gremlins have nothing in comparrison to guilding flakes, multi-coloured devil's in disguise : 0
Hope all you lovely ladies have a day you wish for and are well. Sue, hope they arn't working you too hard and making the most of the wonderful Florida sun.
Love you all.
Hugs.

Best wishes, Pat
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so beautiful and any card from you would be something to treasure so I thank heavens I wouldn't have to pick one if I won. Thank you for your kindness and now I shall have to cross everything! Lol!
Love Sheila xx
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteSue i maybe being dense here, but what colour did you use around the outside of the flowers as i couldn't see it listed or have you done something else to the edge of the flowers other than the white embossing powder? Being nosey -sorry.
I'm not that sure on the craft card yet but everyone seems to love it, so just me being odder than normal. My favourite part is the border which is so beautiful and i think that i might just have the border...Hooray at last i might have the makings of your card. The fire and ice technique of the 2nd one is really growing on me. This card is so lovely that i think i might have a stab at this one, although like Steph i shall have to shake the gilding flakes at the picture saying to them that they could look that good if they behave. I have all the components just different stamps, embossing folders, and dies but as i say i have all the components, just not in the same shapes or designs as you.
Cameeli flower, i will not be up at the time you set off tomorrow, but i wish you all the luck in the world that you land your dream. Don't beat yourself up if you think later why did i say that... because it sounded right. You have a huge following little band right here putting up that wee word in his left ear and with all our fingers and anything else that we can crossed for you, willing you to succeed. Good Luck flower.
Killie Tracey, i normally go on the Sunday because you can get some good bargains as they don't want to cart them back home, but you can be sure that i will be there in my little scooter and friend in tow. It would be great to meet up with you, that's if we ever get down on the lift to the bottom with that new car park (nightmare). This is my trip that i look forward to from one show to another even if i only have a few pounds to spend. I will try not to demolish the stands this year, unlike last. I went into see that Cardio Stamps last year, only they had their table cloth trailing the floor. Well what can i say, it was fine driving over it, but it caught on my wheels when i tried to come out again and dragged all the lassies stuff onto the ground. What didn't help mattes was that no one behind would move out of the way to let me out, so hey ho... scramble.
Heather flower, thankfully my season ticket for the Infirmary lapsed with Stirling and Falkirk. And i am hoping that it doesn't start back up again with Larbert, sorry Forth Valley Royal. (It's still Larbert, although a posh one, to me).
Well, that's me for today from my Ochils and me, bye, take care everyone and hopefully i'll see you tomorrow. One of these days my dyslexic fingers are going to behave and type accurately so i don't need to go back over and sort it all before posting,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Really love kraft card,but never thought about it being made feminine and it looks stunning! the burlap flower goes particularly well with this look, I just love it .i do like the second card also It is in complete contrast to the first one.Warm Hugs to all who need them!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue , what a stunning card totally love your work xxx
ReplyDeleteWow Sue, two beautiful cards, the colouring on the Kraft card looks fantastic, and as you say really pops out. xx
ReplyDeleteOh really being spoilt today Sue. Would love either of the cards. The first one almost looks like a flock feel to it. Maybe it looks different in real life so to speak, but both cards are stunning. Thank you for the chance to win one. Akers care. X x x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteTwo amazing cards today.x
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat 2 stunning cards today I love the flower on the 1st one .. thanks sue for the inspiration. Hugs sarah xxx
Morning Sue ... xx Another 2 great cards for us today :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteWow! Both of these cards are absolutely stunning! Thank you for the tip on the distress markers. I love the way you have done the background with the stamping and then embossing.
The second card is so gorgeous and sparkly. Who wouldn't want to own one of these?! Fingers crossed. Thanks for sharing.
Good Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteI'm just loving both of your cards today. Fortunately, what you have called a mistake is going to make one lucky person extremely happy! I believe this is what is known as "happenstance". Thank you for sharing these with us and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Margaret A.
Morning Sue, two for one again today, both are beautiful and I can't choose between them. Hope all goes well for you Camelli tomorrow, and best wishes to everyone who has been on the wars!. Take care, Jess xx
ReplyDeleteSensational, I do hope I will be included in this draw, the idea of winning two is incredible. I love them both, and what's more, I'm chuffed that I already have some kraft card.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue......beautiful cards as always......I'd love to win either of them but I particularly love the second one as I did when I saw it first ......love your "fire and ice" technique.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and thanks for sharing.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteTwo stunners today that you are giving away. How lucky are we. Thanks for the tip about the kraft card, might even go and buy some now. Sorry Heather forgot to say good luck at the hospital with your leg. But I'm glad all is ok. hope you are feeling better Steph after your treatment. And good luck Cameeli on your interview tomorrow. You will probably be on your way by the time I post tomorrow. I also have trouble with my fingers Nora. My brain knows what I want to say, but my fingers have other ideas.
Hi Sue, well I think the angel is you !! Lovely effect with the embossing and colouring on kraft card, love from Jackie D
ReplyDeleteI love the colours you have used. The hints of green lift the browns really well.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! From a very damp and dreary corner of Lancashire! Thank goodness for your blog , Sue! It has an uplifting effect on all of us I think! I'm sorry but the picture of crafting wearing cricket pads was just too much,
I was in fits of laughter.
All the best for tomorrow Cameeli . So many people thinking of you. Trust it helps to know that.
Steph, so pleased you back on form - it doesn't take you long !
Sue, I love today's cards . Thanks for giving two - how kind! I have Kraft card but somehow I'm never really happy using it for cards! All that has just changed I think! As has been said already I would never have thought of stamping/embossing/colouring it! It looks lovely. Thanks for the colouring tips too. I bought some hat pins from Julia - the ones you make yourself - they are fairly thick but such fun to make and you can use any old or broken necklace bits.
Love to all,
Myra
Both are stunning cards. Love the different look with coloued craft card.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, would never have thought of colouring on Kraft card. Both cards are WOW factors and would be given pride of place in my home if I was to be a lucky winner!
ReplyDeleteValC xx
Hi Sue, two gorgeous cards which are so different. Beautiful flowers on the first card which to me has a rustic look. The second card beautiful elegant white, black & gold with I think your fire and ice technique.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue
ReplyDeleteThat are lovely cards, particularly like the first one!
Both cards are so beautiful today Sue, Really stunners and especially the colors on the last one is soo amazing.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteToday's card is absolutely stunning and the extra one you have popped in is equally stunning, I would certainly love to give either of these cards a loving and caring home !!!
Hope you are well and enjoying life.
Take Care, love Brenda xxx
A couple of great cards, the effect of colouring the kraft card is something I hadn't thought of.
ReplyDeleteTwo very pretty cards Sue and thanks for the hint about colouring on kraft - very useful.
ReplyDeleteBoth very pretty cards this morning Sue, but I think I prefer the second one the best.Hugs, Jen x

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card today, it has a real sunshine feel about it, and my goodness we could do with it. I love the shadowing around the flowers it gives a misty look to them. Your 2nd card is stunning, I think that might have been the word I used when it was first shown to us not so long ago. I think there are going to be 2 very lucky winners this week to own either of these beautiful cards.
Good luck for tomorrow Cameeli, I hope your wish comes true.
Kind regards :-)

Hi Sue - late blogging today as I spent the morning watching the tennis then rushed off to play golf! Both cards are exquisite - to date have not used craft card but I suppose I really should give it a go! To be quite honest it never did appeal to me but your cards using it, always look beautiful! Would be lovely to win then I could really check it out! Many thanks again

Hello Sue, Me thinks that Sue is after all Human, she has mixed up some cards made weeks ago, and so for her error We get another chance of winning a Wilson original, what wonderful bad luck.
ReplyDeleteI would love either of the cards but the first would just pip the post as its more complex.

What a pair of beauties. You're spoiling us Sue! They contain some of my favourite elements - Kraft card, forked sentiments and beautiful flowers. Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, hadn't thought of using colors on.kraft cards before. Usually just use to mat and layer. Thanks Sue. JB xxxxx

Two beautiful cards, I'm really surprised to see how the colour of the promarkers 'pop' from the kraft card, I'll have to have a go at this myself. Thank you for the great inspiration. x
ReplyDeletesorry Sue I am not quite so keen on the colours of this one but again good ideas that I could adapted. I found out that I can click on the image and enlarge it just to get a closer look.

Stunning card, love your colouring on kraft card with the white embossing.
ReplyDeleteYour such an inspiration. Hugs x ChrisB
That makes a nice change of pace. I do like the idea of the hessian flower. I suppose it started as a strip of hessian -or was it cut out from a circle?
ReplyDeleteHope my number is drawn this week so I can check it out!!

Two lovely cards - someone is going to be very lucky. The hessian flower is gorgeous. You come up with such fantastic ideas.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely card today. Love that rose stamp as its my fav flower. The colouring in really makes them stand out. Rose and ribbon look great adds texture to card. The stick pin is pretty. The only thing I would possibly change would be the kraft but that's he being very fussy.
