Today's card is a really pretty one that, if you like the gilded look, you will love. If you have a fear of gilding flakes, fear no more, you can see just how easy they are to use (messy, but fun and easy! LOL)
If you are around today, Julia Watts has two shows with new stamp designs today at 10 am and 3pm. I bet she will have some lovely samples and demos to show you too! Don't forget to tune in.

Lovely card, Sue, and enjoyed the video - no way you can use gilding flakes without getting messy and having a gilded manicure! This is one for Steph.

Morning Momma Wilson, morning Wilsonettes. Sue, Sue, Sue, its those pesky guilding flakes again, along with that flake and glitter glue. I cant make my mind up which one of the two laughs at me more ! But I must admit when its done properly without fear and attacked with gusto it looks beautiful, I just have a worry that when Im tapping the glue onto the stamp and it gets inbetween the design the whole effect will be ruined, therefore my friendly little cocktail stick comes into play to remove those bits of stray glue from the area's that shouldn't have gloopy sticky glue on ! 1 tip I do have, is brown parcel paper - if you lay your work and container of flakes on the sheet of brown paper it seems to cut down on the static, consequently cutting down on the amount of flakes you end up wearing !
Does today's card look a copper colour on your screen or is it just my phone screen, or did I not take notice of the colour card that was used ? Wjat a great excuse to re-watch Sue's video again, there again, who needs an excuse to keep watching : )
Id love to be able to make a card this beautiful and to this standard for my friend, and 1 day when I've got more confidence, thanks to Sue and the great instruction we get via these video's I will.
Have a great day my friends.
Hugs.

Morning Sue, A really lovely video and a really beautiful card. That background stamp is stunning, I haven't used mine yet, but I will definitely be trying it with the gilding flakes, it looks stunning, and I love the aperture frame over the top, it frames the background beautifully, and the 'sugared' flowers are gorgeous.
I'll be watching Julia this morning, looking forward to it.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
GM Sue - ohh I just love this card - EL4 is one of my faves! and the gilding flakes used with that stamp are just to die for - it's a must try!Thanks for great video - fantastic.

Love the layout but not sure if the color(s) are presented well on my computer screen. The center seems to have a bit of "reddish" on it and it I think it doesn't fit together with white and black. Hmmm, maybe it is just the screen :)
Hope you have a wonderful day.
Hugs,

Love today's card, I don't have any gilding flakes but I do like the effect they give.
My combi boiler decided to go on strike yesterday so sat freezing so no crafting as my hands will not work in the cold roll on the engineer tomorrow.

The basics of the card are a tried and trusted formula with the gorgeous Elegant Labels but will have to try with the flakes as it looks super.
Have a great day.

Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
Sue, i think you are trying to do a challenge Sue (not Anneka) on Steph and me with those beautiful gilding flakes. It is a beautiful card but i think i will give it a miss the now for imitating it as the hands have joined the rest of my body in the non cooperation stakes. I love the glistening sparkle that you have added to the rolled edges of the roses, it looks like they have been touched by snow.
Steph i hope you got on well with your tummy doc yesterday. I was just thinking after your remark about giving him a handmade card, i wonder how many handmade cards they have had from a happy patient? hmmm? You have a big order that is just getting bigger, so why do you keep doubting your obvious brilliant abilities. People wouldn't ask you or pay you if your cards weren't any good. You need a good dose of self worth but that's not the right word, sorry the brain has went on strike again, ask me at 2.30 am i will probably have remembered what the right words i want to say.
Thank you Margaret Corgi owner for where to get the ready made pearl cluster embellishment, i will see what they have. I wonder if they do tiny orders as big orders is not a possibility.
Tina flower, i hope Berkeley is feeling better soon as, as with children you just can't help but worry, or may be that's just me that has a 4 legged child. I'll tell you she is so much better behaved than the 2 legged kind.
Going to say bye now see you all tomorrow hopefully, so tired today so going back to bed, oh how i hate this blasted CFS or ME as it used to be. The energy has left me somewhere and it has taken time off to go on holiday i think, well it might have taken the rest of me with it.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Even the clouds are tired up here, they're having a rest on the Ochils,
Bye x
Lovely card with gorgeous gilding.
Good morning Sue
What a really fantastic card the gilding so, so, rich and opulent I will give this a try after watching the video again, your videos are priceless Sue and even better no one talking over you and repeating themselves, they are such a wealth of information for us all, thank you so much.
Enjoy your day.
Margaret corgi owner
P.S. Thank you Steph for the brown paper tip.

Hello Sue, Thank you for the brilliant video. This card is beautiful, rich and opulent. Watching you use the gilding flakes has given me confidence and thanks for the brown paper tip Steph. The roses are stunning, love the Iced Snow on them, perfection. Will be watching Julia, the new stamps look interesting.
Take care everyone.
Hugs June xxx
Hi Sue , Beautiful card I have bought some flakes and glue so I must have a go it's such a lovely effect. It's funny I was looking on your blog yesterday to see if I could find a demo of how to do it you must have read my mind. thank you love Jean Z xxx
Very pretty - I'll watch the video later and have the recording set for the stamping shows! Thanks for sharing, Susan x
Hi Sue, love today's card. Will have to try this one!
Hi Sue,
Lovely card again today. Will watch the video later. x
Hi Sue - Love this card. I bought this stamp when I saw you use it on C&C and have used it with gilding flakes too but my finished card was nothing like this one! Look forward to watching the video to see how it's done properly! Looking forward to watching Julia and the new stamps today. Best wishes

Morning Sue,
Stunning card with the mixture of gilding flakes and the wonderful dies. I have some gilding flakes so I really must give this a go. Great informative video as always.
Love Sheila xx
Hi Sue
got the shows recording and just watched your video and I have most of the dies must have a go at this one the card by the way is stunning .. thanks sue for the inspiration .. hugs sarah xxx
Great More guilding, look forward to watching laer as my guilding is a hit or miss, stunning card sue have a good day E x
Hi Sue
Another stunning gilded card today. Must have a go at doing this sometime, when I don't have hubby saying what a mess this place looks, it needs clearing up. And that's just with my stamping. I have a small craft room but never seem to have enough room in it. So I seem to spread to our very large dining table. keep practising Steph with them, and why do you not think a lot of your card making. I would think they would be fantastic seeing as people keep giving you orders for them. Norah hope you get to get back to bed for a nice long rest. Will watch the video later and will be recording Julia's show as usual. Hope Dawn doesn't take over as usual, and let's Julia get a word in edgeways.
Hi Sue
Very nice, love the flowers (which i still hav'ent managed to get to look as good as yours)and love the gilding flakes.
Best Wishes
Julie Bee
Just beautiful and well done
Hi Sue, another beautiful card.... Just getting everything ready for tonight so I can follow along with you!

Good morning Sue another gorgeous card I love the gilding flakes now I have mastered them.
Love the colours you have used & those flowers beautiful Have to watch video later as off to hospital .
Love & Hugs Lynda Brock xx
Stunning again and luv everything about it xx as always you give us fab tips to use including dipping the roses in Ice Diamonds - I would have added glue and then sprinkled them on but would probably have wasted too much so thanks for the tip xx GailT xx
Hi Sue, another lovely offering for us today, the videos are fantastic, Norah (Glenochil) I can sympathise with you as my M.E. is playing up at the moment too, I was going to make a card today but my hands are saying no as I can hardly hold anything due to the pain, and my energy has gone! X
Love the card Sue ...happy crafting X
Oh Sue this card is glorious, so rich looking and elegant, I love it, can you tell? lol, hugs hunni and have a great day, Vick xx

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Very elegant and opulant looking. Thanks for another great video.
Stunning card. Love gilding flakes.
Love the body of the card, will enjoy watching the video later to see how it's all done. Personally, I would not use the f****** or t**** - but that's just me ;)
Hi Sue, just watched the video and thoroughly enjoyed it. Another gorgeous card. Kind regards Joanne K x
Hi Sue,
Hi Everyone,
Just watched the video - yet another real learning experience! Thanks for the tip with the pokey tool and glue/snow! That will save snow and mess!
The background stamp is lovely. I don't have it but could use another one. The tip with the sentiment too is so clever! Have written it down under Sue's Tips!!
I rather think a few videos of us using gilding flakes would be fun!
Take care everyone, particularly those not feeling so well.
Love Myra
HI SUE
WHAT A CARD, FABULOUS. I WILL MISS THE SHOWS TODAY, WHAT A SHAME. TOO BUSY GETTING BANDAGED TO TAKE SWELLING DOWN IN THE LEGS.

Lovely card sue You so talented but so so kind with you tips and help the flakes scare me and I know if I mastered it my charity cards for Christies would benifit love &hugs June x xxx
Hi Sue, absolutely beautiful card...I just adore gilding flakes, but you are right, they sure are messy!!! love Sam xxx
Hi Sue. As always a fab video and a gorgeous card today !! I really enjoyed watching your video today Sue with the gilding flakes. You have used elegant labels four !! I had this set of dies on my wish list for a very long time and I finally got them for Christmas. I am so pleased you have used these dies, and what a stunning card you have created with them !! I have the background stamp and tried the gilding flakes with it but I got really scared because the stamp stuck to the card and I had to rip it off and then I panicked as I could not get the glue off the stamp quickly enough !! Thankfully my hubby came to the rescue and sorted out the stamp for me !! It really put me off and I have not attempted it since. After seeing your video I think I need to give it another try !! I would really love to make this card. It is just beautiful.
Happy Crafting and lots of love to everyone love Tres x x x
Ps.. Norah (Glenochil) and Lindsay Martin, I have ME to and I am going through the same as both of you. My illness is very bad right now and it is good to know I am not alone. Lots of love Tres x x x
Like the gilding technique using stamps, must be brave enough to have a go.
Love the card it is very elegant.
Hi Sue,
Thank you for another fabulous video, so many helpful tips as usual. Love the finished card. Just beautiful.

Hi Sue, the video really brings to life the stunning stamp with the gilding flakes, really nice card, love from Jackie D
Hello Sue,
Love this card and the video as usual it is brilliant - it's so lovely seeing how you make your card step-by-step - and certainly a great help to those like me who have to read things over again to help the penny drop !!! THANK YOU (LOL)
I'm sending a big crafty hug to Tres, Nora, Steph, Lindsey and anyone who is feeling a bit poorly today - and wishing you all well.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Lovely elegant card Sue, I love the gilding. Thanks for the video, you explain everything so well. Pat x
Hi Sue
Gorgeous card. Love using gilding flakes. I love the way you have framed the centre panel. Thanks for sharing.
Drat, missed both of Julia's shows, but I might check and see if there are any stamps left.
I love gilding flakes, I don't think there is anything out there to rival the effect they give.
Hi Sue,
Stunning card, I will now have another go at using my guilding flakes now that you have made it look so easy.
Alison B. x
All I can say Sue is that whichever friend you give this card to would be thrilled. Gilding flakes are so much fun and like glitter it goes everywhere, it has a mind of its own.
Hi Sue, Pretty and very good card today and I loved the video; it is so much better than following a step by step guide. I do a lot of these for the IT programs I support at work and I sometimes wonder if the users would benefit from a video from me rather than looking at a printed document –which I doubt if they bother to view sometimes judging by the calls I get to show individuals how to do something. Hey ho!
Oh for the day I can retire from work and indulge myself in my crafty hobby!!!!!
Craftihappiness to you all, love from Pearl
Hi Sue
Beautifully messy techniques with stunning results. I have just emailed my friend who I have just got into crafting, and said for her to join your blog because of all the fantastic tutorials and videos, so hopefully you will have another blog follower soon. The only thing is I have just shot myself in the foot as I can't surprise her with anymore of your beautiful cards.
Nora, I have'nt been called flower for years, and it brought back really nice memories. Thankyou for your kind thoughts about my Berekley dog, as I call her. She is being tested for Cushing's disease or Diabetes Insipidus. At the moment she is like a baby, we have to put the alarm on every 2hrs throughout the night or it's swimming pools everywhere. This has been going on for 3wks now. We are all knackered even Berkeley dog. I will let you know results when they arrive. Thankyou again it means a lot.
Kind regards :-)

Beautiful card today Sue. I love using flakes but my husband doesn't! He finds it everywhere! Hugs,Carol S.xx
Another brill card .. xx
Hi Sue! Love the wonderful video using the gilding flakes. When I have used them I seem to be static too lol! I love the effect though. Oooo the Secret Garden background is gorgeous! That is one that I'd love to have....oooo be still my itchy fingers.....! Lanc Steph, I have the same problem with pearls. They just ping all over the place! I give up after so long as they turn up one way or another....they've even showed up on the bottom of my slippers!! Just to say thinking of you Norah, Lyndsey and Tres. It is hard with health glitches (me too!)but at least it keeps us out of trouble... and it keeps us happy! Thank you all for the real life stories that you put on in the morning. It makes me smile and laugh (it's the way you tell 'em!) and you should all write a book! Thank you for pointing out the pearl embellishment on yesterday's card....I must have missed a line.... not hard with these eyes! Lol! Thank you Sue for the tip and once again for the brilliant videos. Good luck everybody on the Wednesday Giveaway! xx ps Sue, at last I have found a lovely deep photo frame for the gorgeous "Wednesday Giveaway, Thinking of You" card that I was lucky enough to be drawn from last year. It is now taking pride and place in a new (old) cabinet come writing bureu! Hubby is soooo pleased.....only because now I haven't got ANY excuse to leave all my bits and bobs lying all over the place! Sooo glad he's very patient! Take care Sue and everyone. xx Love Karen xx
Love this, and the background stamp. Off to watch the video
I so look forward to the video tutorials after work. This one is another smasher. Love the background, so lush.
Loved the video and the card too. That gilded background is gorgeous!
Beautiful Card Sue!
The gilding is lovely. I just love this card.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Lovely card and very helpful video. As I have that stamp and the die set I look forward to trying it out this week. Thanks for inspiration. Margaret
A beautiful, opulent card and I own the stamp and die already so thank you!! x
absolutely gorgeous card Sue, sorry not been on for a while I was having craft room refitted to try and fit everything. Still not enough space, but did not stop me buying perfume bottles, background,corner and border stamps and dazzler mounts....LOL
Really need to stop.
Hope you and Mum are well.

Hi Sue,
Beautiful card today. Love gilding.
Much love,
Shirley T. xxxxxxxxxx
Hi Sue, thank you for the fantastic video for such a beautiful card . I have all the elements so will be having a try at this one , I tried the guilding flakes on the angel stamp at Christmas and had to do it a couple of times before I did it right, but I know where I was going wrong I was squeezing the glue directly onto the stamp from the tube instead of putting on some wax paper and using an applicator to apply it , so I was putting far too much on . I love the summer meadow flakes the colours are beautiful and the elegant labels four die is stunning , along with your sugared roses.
Thanks Sue it's beautiful
Hugs
Jean D
hello sue and all ladies,
beautiful card sue but I am goin to try the gilding flakes with a smaller stamp as a test a few times till I feel confident enough
to progress with a large stamp lol [ whimp ] me.thinking of our blog friends who are feeling poorly today. love from
Christine c
Stunning card. I'm determined to try gilding flakes with background stamps after watching the video. Love the flowers. I wouldn't have thought of using a pokey tool to support the flower while I put the glue on for glittering it - so thanks for another helpful video.
Hi Sue
Fab background it looks so opulent. The die and roses are stunning.
Kayleigh B x
Hi Sue, a really beautiful card, am loving my gilding flakes at the moment. Great video to catch up on this morning. Bx

Wow, lovely card, I've got to admit, I bought a tub of guilding flakes and I'm ashamed to say that I havent opened them yet, I'm scared of them!
I feel like I will do it wrong and waste them and they are so pretty and shiny :-/
Diane from Glasgow xx
Like the flowers on today's card.
Jane xx
you say blingy and opulent but it is stunning. the black tones it down beautifully. xx
Thank you for another wonderful video. Every time I think this one is the most pretty one, and again this time. I do love this card. And I am definitely going to try to make this one.
Love the gilding on this card.
