Sunday 2 February 2014

Congratulations


Good Sunday morning all!  Going back a bit for this one, back to September in fact.  I started with a piece of coconut white card and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off and spread gilding flakes from the Red Blaze set all across it.  I used a rubit scrubit pad to spread them across the sticky sheet and help refine and remove the excess bits.  I covered it with another sticky sheet and this time covered it with Iced Snow (this is the simplest version of my Fire and Ice technique, no stamping involved in this one).  I used a corner rounder and that was the background sorted, easy peasy.  Next I cut three of the circle die from the lovely die set called Lacy Tiers by Becca Feeken.  I cut them all out of coconut white card for a nice contrast against my gilded background. I used small pieces of foam on the back and mounted them across my card overlapping the centre one.   I stamped the sentiment by Justrite in black Archival ink and cut it out with the tag die from Vintage Labels Four.  I mounted it with foam across the centre decorative die cut.  I finished this quick and easy card by adding a few flatback pearls and my signature double white pierced matting layers.  Finished dimensions are 5 1/2" x 9" in size.

Now for the Sunday Comment Game winners.  This week's winners are:

Debs Artliff!!!
Chris Curry!!!
Kate Blair!!!

Congratulations all!  Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your prize!  

Not that I want to tease you (okay, I do! LOL) but I do have a bit of exciting news that I am really hoping I will be able to spill the beans about sometime next week, so do be sure to check the blog everyday as I just don't know when, but it will be very soon!  All for now, Sue x

Sunday smiles to you Sue and all Wondering Wilsonettes !! Naughty naughty Mrs W you really are a tease ! Dont you think us poor Wilsonettes have enough suspense each time we get our crafty stash out ? Poor Heather has to apply her cricket pads just to use her GC these days not knowing if its going to attack her, some of us almost have respiritory arrest due to breath holding when stamping, other Wilsonettes are accosted by guilding flakes just for trying fire and ice, now the suspense of waiting for news, there are going to be exploding Wilsonettes up and down the country, and I think poor Norah has been through enough this week without exploding in the hills !
I love the way you attack your guilding flakes Sue, would I be brave enough to cover a full sheet ? I think so, Ive decided its the glue that worries me as its quite hard to get it just so, whereas our friend, adhesive sheet attacks the flakes and stands no messing, although I did venture into my flake box last week to guild the singles swirly heart to use on an ordered Valentine card, and I managed to suss that tricky glue out just so - phew ! I have a couple of circular dies, so I could do this card, although it wouldn't look as pretty as our gift this morning, I could turn it into a male card : )
Im working flat out these days working on a nice big order, which keeps growing, plus Easter and Mothers day cards HAVE to be done before the next fair, plus our daughter wants us to go wedding invite shopping, so those will have to take priority, on the up side, it means I get to take her to my favourite craft store so she can buy her invite stash, but I have to resist buying which will be very hard : ( hope my body holds out, dont let me down now !
So, I've sent you all back to sleep after all that twaddle, so I'll send Sunday Hugs to all and hope for you all a lovely day.
God bless.
Lancashire Steph xxx (in suspense) !!

Well done, winners.

Good Morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes

I love this die. I couldn't help thinking the circles would make wonderful carriage wheels for a Cinderella carriage with little difficulty to put a cab on top! Mmmm! Ideas are flooding in at the moment of other opportunities for them as well. :)

Congratulations to the winners today. I hope everyone is keeping safe from the winds and floods and for those affected I hope someone has taken pity and is helping you my thoughts to all concerned.

Meg Owen said...

Hi Sue,
this is a beautiful card and I love the fire and ice background - must try with the sticky paper as I do have some, and some gilding flakes too, how lucky is that.

Now girls, never mind Valentines cards think Easter - I saw my first Easter Eggs on sale last week in a shop in Wensleydale, (near to where Wallace and Grommit get their cheese)- why don't they give us time to recover from Christmas for goodness sake!

It's been a year for early starts so far, I found a caterpillar walking on my door on New Years Eve, saw lambs on the 2nd January and on Friday I saw my first butterfly. Hurry up Spring.

Congrats to the winners - you lucky ladies.

Good evening Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
todays card reminds me of a picture i grew up looking at that had the two sides of the world. I used to love seeing where different places were in the world, learning about the different countries and there capitals. Sorry folks but its strange how the simplest of things brings back the happiest of memories. Anyway Sue, you already know my brain flies in the world of make believe at the best of times but this would make a lovely card for the men and golly do we need all the inspiration we can get for them.
Congratulations to all our lucky winners this week, i hope you enjoy your prizes and have fun with them.
Now its the start of a new week so lets see if the local hospitals casaulty department can miss us this week as i think some of us are goig to be issued with a season ticket soon. Me, im staying away from the front end of the local bus service and automatic doors. Heathers got to wear her protection gear just to get to play so we're hopingvthat her and her g.c. can play nicely together again soon. And poor Steph has got to get protection detail (daughter) to accompany her to the local craft shop. So heres to a new week of good things and top of the list is Cameelis' dream job, although the fingers are trying to decide whether they want to stay permanently in the crossed position, i hope you receive the news of your dreams soon flower, we all do as we have had words with him upstairs so hoping that he was listening to our pleas for you.
Take care everyone and hopefully i will be able to see you all tomorrow, and its so nice to have Ita back amongst us, hope you're feeling much better flower
love and crafty hugs
