Good Sunday morning all! Another older card that hasn't had it's day on the blog yet! I started by stamping the
Vintage Alphabet Soup stamp from Justrite in black on
coconut white card. I covered it with a
self adhesive sticky sheet, peeled the backing paper off and
sprinkled polished silk Glitter over it in a random fashion. I used the
Vintage Violet, Ice Blue and Lavender Polished Silk Glitter for this background. Once the glitter is on the sticky sheet, you need to use your finger to burnish it down well and dust away the excess. Next step is to cover it with another piece of sticky adhesive sheet, peel off the backing sheet and then coat it with
clear micro beads. This gives a sort of holographic look to it. A bit of work, but the finished result is really rather nice up close. I cut it into a wide strip and matted it with a thin white and black border. I cut a piece of
coconut white card to use as a background and embossed it with the
Wild Holly embossing folder from Couture Creations. Using
Becca Feeken's Vintage Label and Tag die, I cut two tags, nipped them in half and used three of the pieces to mount off the edge of my glittered strip. I added a sentiment to the bottom of the card from the
Bold Sentiments by Creative Expressions and cut thin black and white border to separate the two parts of the card. Using some of the
dark aqua felt from the Blossom felt package, I cut a flower from
Spiral Blossom Four and rolled it. I added it atop a
black seam binding messy bow with a
jute twine bow. I added a
single black pearl in the centre of the flower. Finally the card was completed with a double white pierced mat. Finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 8 1/2" in size.

Good morning Sue and everyone, glad to know that I'm not the only one awake at such an early hour on a Sunday! This card is just not my cup of tea I'm afraid but wouldn't life be boring if we all liked the same thing? Congratulations to all the winners.
Sue xxx
Ps Norah so happy to see your name among winners, 1st a card now a Sue prize, hope you have put the lottery on, they say luck comes in 3's.
Now that's a different technique Sue and what a stunning result. A very eye-catching card and yet another embossing folder to add to my wish list. Thanks for sharing xx
A very different card for you today, Sue, with a lot of work put into it.
Do love the effect of the polished silk glitters.
Well done to all winners - Norah, you are on a roll!! Woohoo.

Hi Sue. Gorgeous card, I love the rich colours of the polished silk glitters. Sorry to hear that Nick wasn't eligible to win :( Congratulations to all of the lucky winners :-) X for Pam. Take care.
A very interesting technique - It must be very glimmery IRL!
Morning Sue, A lovely card, and a fabulous idea of using different colours of glitter, I really love the alphabet soup stamp, it is on my 'Wish List'. I'm always amazed that the stamping shows through the glitter and adhesive sheet !!!
Congratulations to all the lucky, lucky Winners, especially Norah, well done you !!
I have just read that Nick can't win the competition, if that is the case, what a shame, as his reason for wanting to win was a really good one.
Have a lovely day.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Good morning Sue,
Another stunning card and a different idea, love it all

Congratulations to the lucky winners

Morning Sue, must try out this technique for the background, it looks stunning! Love Jean xxx
Good morning Sue
It's you that's amazing you come up with so many ideas for us to try. Wow! Micro beads and glitter what a brilliant idea I will be trying this later. It is sad about Nick but I'm not surprised. Congratulations to all the winners.

Good morning Sue what a gorgeous card and a technique I must try. I so wanted to come to Ally Pally but there is trouble at Trinder Towers and it may no longer be possible. Congratulations to all the winners. Love Jackie
I love the clear lines of this card at first glance, then all th magic to catch your eye as you look closer. Fantastic. Congratulations to all the winners
Lovely card Sue, shame about Nick, congratulations to all the winners x
Hi Sue ,
I'm not a glitter and micro beads person I'm afraid but that doesn't stop me liking this card. You can still stamp onto a patterned piece of paper and not use beads and glitter. X
Morning Sue,
Amazing card, love the use of the alphabet stamp, great technique.
Congrats to the winners.

Hi sue
Stunning card again love the whole card thank you for sharing you ideas Tracy w x
Lovely card Sue, hope to see you at Ally Pally.
morning Sue
What a great gift for those awkward males in our lives. They always give me a big headache when needing cards so today's gift will do the job just right.
I like the split colours and background folders and the holographic effect is wonderful.
Have noted the change in dates re tv toolshed so will be able to see you the day before I go off to France for my Spring Break.
Congratulations to this week's winners.
After my fight with my path steps I now look like a horror film and very very scary. So it's a good job we don't have webcams on your blog Sue.
See you
See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Lovely card Sue,

GM Sue - love the glitter on this card although I am not usually a glitter fan. Yes I will finally be going to Ally Pally this year - with hubby who has agreed to come too! I have purchased a W brooch to wear to signal the Wilsonette fan base - hope it comes in time to wear.

I entered a Mday card in the shape of a handbag (embossed using Sue's heart lattice folder with the handle made from Sue's new Decorative Frames), a plaque, a decorated wooden trinket box and a faux leather notebook cover (using Sheena's glycerin technique) - so I was well chuffed beating some stichers and knitters etc...

Hi Sue not too keen on this card although without the bow and rose would be good for men
Denise X
Morning Sue, right back at you with "You're amazing". Although I'm not a fan of the background stamp I love the work and the techniques that you've used. Most of would never even think of using our stuff the way you do which is why I and everyone else keep coming back each day. Not only do you do such amazing cards you always think outside the box and teach us so many things .
Thank you.
Hi Sue,
Loving the holographic effect, great glitter colours.
Donna Jones
Good morning Sue,
Once again another lovely card to start our day. Congratulations to all the winners and as per usual I am very jealous! Thank you for sharing this with us today Sue and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Margaret A.
Wow, such a lot of lovely texture to this basically simple card.
Congrats to the winners, and I am already looking forward to your shows, you aren't on as often as I would like. If I had my way, you'd be on every week!
Congrats winners I'm a bit disappointed that Nick can't win but if anyone can get an address where to send stuff I'd be only too happy to help I wasn't happy with C&C because they're giving a £500 prize to people that can afford a £400 machine in the first place The other comp on FB wasn't nearly as much as that Sorry moaning over Congrats winners
Wow Norah well done, I'd settle for 1 win. What a shame about Nick, why did they allow him to enter then? at least he knew all us Wilsonettes care. Lovely card fab technique not sure it would turn out for me a beautiful as yours. Love the rose. hugs Theresa x
Good morning Sue and all the crafty crew
A lovely card with lots of techniques ideal for male cards maybe without the bow.
Congratulations to all the winners - Norah you're on a roll!
Well done Clare C on all your placements in the craft competition you should be proud of yourself!
Shame Nick couldn't win
Hugs Sue C x
Hi Sue,
Love the glitter and micro bead panel - would never have thought of doing that which is why so many of us come day after day. You are such a talented lady.
Beverley W
Hi Sue
Lovely card, I don't stamp nor have I got the micro beads but I might give glittering patterned backing paper ago.
Celebrating my sons 27th birthday today.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Clare congratulations on all your wins.
Happy sunny crafty Sunday everyone
Love Tina x
Hi Sue, I for one, hope to see this Fantastic Vintage Alphabet Stamp by Becca again and again it's such a Beautiful Stamp, Today's Card is Truly Awesome I so Love the Techniques you've used, it must be very tactile. At the first look I actually thought your Backing Paper was this colour until I started reading and found out you produced your Fabulous Colours from your Polished Silk Glitters which look amazing, then you add my Favorite Micro Beads which I just love, Truly Stunning Card I Just Love it.
Take Care Sue Love and Hugs from Sam x
Hi Pam wishing you well x
To All The Wonderful Wilsonettes, I truly hope your well and if your going along to the NEC enjoy,
I'm going to Ally Pally and I can't wait, (What's this about a badge)
Congratulations to all the winners this week, "Well
Done" Norah I didn't realise you'd won a Card also, so my apologies for not congratulating you.
Clare W. I'm Truly Thrilled you did so well you deserve it! I'm sorry for Nick but that is typical of Create and Craft even though they get over seas viewers.
Hugs to you all x
WOW lovely card here today it's gorgeous and a technique to try.
Gutted about Nick not being eligible to enter the competition, seems such a shame as he didn't even want to win it for himself. Personally I think it's unfair of C&C as they should have told him from the first vote and removed his card from the site immediately! Maybe C&C should just donate £500 to him as compensation! Hugs Sonia x
Stunning card with a new technique to try.Well done to all the winners.

Hi Sue, Love the card different so smart and clean looking love Jean Z xx

Good morning Sue,

Lovely card Sue.

Congratulations to all the winners.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Morning Sue, great card but too much of a palaver for me to do,love your techniques anyway.
Well done Clare be you are on a high!
Congrats too all the winners, Norah you are on a roll girl! Take care everyone, Jess xx
Hi Sue
Love how you've done the background on this card. But it does look quite dark in the pictures. Would probably look better in the flesh so to speak. Congratulations to Norah and the rest of the winners. You're on a roll Norah. Wish I could go to Ally Pally this year. But it's such a hassle getting through London.
Now this could just be me, but I feel that there's something missing on this card! I love the background and textures all the same!
Lovely card and the technique with the glitters and microbeads gives a wonderful effect.
Just popped back to see how Clare W did and Wow! So many wins CONGRATULATIONS!
Hugs x
Heather T
Morning Sue,
Another great card today and I must have a go at the micro beads.
Congratulations to all the winners.

Morning Sue, Great effect on the background and love this stamp. Have a Happy sunday. Hugs, Carol S.xx
Love the technique on this card Sue, looks great. Congratulations to all this weeks winners you lucky lot! Well done Claire you did so well yesterday hope all the good thoughts from us all helped in a small way, and finally it was mentioned yesterday that as C&C won't allow nicks entry I too have some bits that I would be willing to send over for him and all his great work, how can we organise this for him, it's such a worthwhile cause xx
Gorgeous love the card. Well done to all the winners.

Lovely card today - unusual technique - but a must try.
Enjoy your Sunday crafters! The sun is shining - hip hip hip hooray!!

Stunning card... another one!! Stamp is simply gorgeous. Happy Sunday everyone!
Hello Sue. What a ridiculous situation. Poor Nick. I wonder if he would accept packages of crafty things if we sent them to him. Perhaps I'll email you and then, if people would rather not send them to Bulgaria, I could be a sending off place. It makes my blood boil that C&C are so narrow minded! Shame about change of dates, but hopefully I shall be out on Mothers' Day anyway so this way I shall get to see you live. Lovely card by the way... xx Maggie (better without a bow)
Morning Sue,
Lovely card and brilliant technique. C
A really awesome card especially for a male, I think. And a big congrats to all the lucky winners here this week too.

Another stunner - I really like the alphabet soup background.

Good morning Sue from a cold but sunny Blackpool. Looks like the sun was shining on me this week as I'm one of the lucky winners, ya ...... I'm over the moon, Christmas has come early, thank you so much.
Now on to your amazing card. I would never have thought as this in a million years. It has an understated elegance, regalish for want of a better word.
Anyway, have a lovely Sunday and thanks again. Lots of love as always, Jo xx
Hi Sue
Wow - this is gorgeous. I love the glitter colours and the finished effect is fantastic. Thank You.

Hello Sue, This card is stunning, love the way you have used the tags along the side. Will be giving the holograph technique a try, it looks amazing. What a shame that Nick could not win, his is such a good cause. I would be wiling to donate some stuff to him. Congratulations to the lucky winners, especially NORAH, you go girl. Well done Clare W, you so deserve your places yesterday. Steph hope the craft fair goes well and that the gilding flakes behaved yesterday.
Love and hugs to Pam.
Take care everyone.

Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
Ok we all know that Norah's brain when it is at home doesn't work like everyone else's but who else see's the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) in Sue's card to day? Nope, just me, knew my brain definitely functions on a very different waylength to normal people. I like the fine black with the white making up the rest of the card Sue, as it breaks up the density of the alphabet work.
Clare i am over the moon that real thought provoking crafting won so many different categories. You must be over the moon and still trying to come down to planet earth from such an amazing feat. They must have had our over whelming crafty thoughts over loading their brains this year to make them see the error of their ways. It must be the year that other crafts are getting a look in on the prizes bench, as more and more of us are taking up crafting or in some cases widening the horizons of the crafts that they have done all these years. It has taken film stars to start knitting for me to go from being old fashioned to bang up to date, but it's that only way that i'm in fashion. I love how all the dresses that i made for myself in the early 80's of the 50's and 60's lovely fashions are now in the shops as the latest thing in fashion. I should have kept them, but what did the song go... oh yes Born to Late, that's me or too early, one of them, but it's nice seeing the young women covered up in lovely clothes instead of a belt and what looks like a bra to me because they forgot the rest of their clothes.
I can't believe i have won again, twice in one week must be a record or it is for me as i was never on the winning side of the door. The card i won on the rebound and could not believe my luck there, but to win on Sues' as a comment winner, i am over joyed. It is just as well is was sitting down, because i had to go back to see the winners list as i skipped to the bottom to the comment part first. Dohhh, it was reading my name on the comments that i went back. I do hope that all the winners enjoy their prize from the comment game, it is such a brilliant feeling, the best in the world. No i haven't put on the lottery as there is a tale to that, just suffice to say i wouldn't be lucky. Hubby still hasn't forgiven me for it and its going back 17 years now.
Janet, i thought you had already had your "spring break", but going to France as well... hope your face is better by then or they might think you have taken on Mike Tyson or hubby and lost. Hope that you feel better soon though as living with the horror film look all the time is not a good look. I am so glad that Pam is coming back in to join us again. her and Cameeli are our starting posts and it just isn't the same and is strange when they don't (See weird that's me).
I am going away to lie in a darkened room to get over the shock and try and calm down the excited me which has decided ti overtake everything else. I have tried to tell it, that it will tire me out with it's nonsense, but it is taking no heed. You need to scrape me off the ceiling for a whole different reason today.
From a decidedly sunny Glenochil and Ochils i wish you all a great day and thank you so very, very much each and everyone of you,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Another striking card, never had the courage to play with micro beads yet, but some day! I can just see the craft room floor with bits from die cuts, glitter and micro beads mixed with dog hair(he has to be wherever I am)
Well done Clare, you are obviously talented in several craft styles, and Norah, well since you are on a winning streak, get that lottery ticket bought.
Cheers

Hi Sue, a beautiful card.
Congratulations to Clare, its fantastic news.
Congratulaions to the lucky winners especially Norah.
I'm finding this a bit too geometric for me Sue, but we can't all like the same things can we! Congrats to all the winners today, and hope everyone has better weather than we do - so far this morning we've had sun, rain, sleet, snow, wind and now back to sun again! Susan x
A lovely card but maybe a step too far for me. Well done to the draw winners.

Hi Sue. Hope you are having a good weekend. A different look with this one - kind of CAS but not CAS, if that makes sense..... Still very striking though.
Congrats to all the lucky winners,

Very pretty card, Sue! Nice colors.
Hi Sue
Such a beautiful card so rich looking and sounds so simple to make too, but we shall see!!!
Many congratulations to all the lucky winners especially Norah you are on a roll. Firstly winning a card, now a prize from Sue what oh what will it be next they do say things come in threes? Delighted for you Norah hope you get lots of enjoyment from your prize, you deserve it.
Clare I loved your show report, you have done fantastic, very well done, delighted for you.
Pam I do hope you are enjoying the sunbeams today, take care xx
Yet another black mark to C & C as far as I am concerned, why oh why let poor Nick enter the competition if he was ruled out of winning, Sue is there any way we can all help him out? Or can you shame them into giving him another prize for the little ones out there in Bulgaria?
We are blessed with sunshine again today up here in the Lake District and beautiful fells too covered in snow.
Warm wishes and hugs to those who need them.

Lovely card, not my favourite stamp though.congratulations to the winners ,especially to Norah, and very well done to Clare! Hugs to all xo

Another great card with this alphabet background stamp Sue, this just has to go onto my must have list now. I really do love black on cards. I agree with everyone, shame about Nick not being eligible for the prize but I don't know if they would realise it was him as it doesn't show his name under the picture, well not that I can see anyway. If they're happy enough to take everyone's money for the machine then surely it would be fair that they should open the competition to everyone who bought one, no matter where they live. They didn't say it was only UK residents who could BUY the machine, did they? Their comp, their rules I suppose but still don't think it's fair.

Congratulations to all the winners.
Hellooo Sue and the Wilsonettes!! Oooooo stunning card Sue. The violet, blue and lavender glitters are beautiful mixed together and with the added micro beads I imagine a lovely texture too. I love the wild holly embossing folder, it's gorgeous.... and I really love your felt flowers too.... Thank you Sue for showing us all the different ways that you can use these stamps and dies. Wonderful! Nice to see you again Pam, here's a hug xx You too Cameeli and hope you are resting your knee and not doing any acrobatics! Lol! Well, it looks likes some whoo hoos are due! Well eeee ecky thump our Clare, you did fantastically well yesterday! So chuffed for you and credit where credit is due it was all down to you that you're a winner! I know we have a lot due to our Sue's "thinking outside the box" too eh? But brilliant!! Oooo our Norah, congratulations on being drawn on the comment game! You are now on the receiving end of how it feels to win something, hence the whoo hoo's that you'll be saying all day and beyond! Apart from the butterflies when you see your name there in black and white, it's the adrenaline rush that comes with it too! I'm not surprised you've gone for a lie down....! Wonderful! Congratulations to all our winners! Enjoy your prize! Sending love and hugs to all our Wilsonettes that need them today and everyday xx Love Karen xx
Another beauty Sue, you seem to have so many ideas in that head of yours. Congrats to all the winners - enjoy your prizes. Pat x
Sunday Smiles to you Sue and all Wilsonettes. Claire you clever gal. Im SO SO chuffed for you im grinning like a Lancashire Cat (I know its a Cheshire cat) but Im an adopted eey up not a Manc (so that's why Ive changed it) either that or im dileriously shattered after my stint at the market (thanks to our family that wished me well) and I thank our Sue for her devotion and love of beauty, for without you Sue I wouldn't be a step closer to getting my A4 machine YOU Are Amazing, thank you xx
Is it time for bed yet ? Ok.
What a beauty todays card is. The bold colours really throw out the white embossed side of the card, its amazing.
Cassie met her public today, her first visit to market and did quite well, thank goodness for a Spring day so she could take Mr Lancashire round n round n round the country park ! Maybe she'll sleep past 6am and let us humans sleep a little longer !
My brain feels more like black peas than grey mush, and Im not co-ordinating at all well which isnt unusual for me I must admit, I dont know if its the sun that has fried my brain cell or what, but I wont forget to congratulate all our winning Wilsonettes today, and poor Janet, you must be in so much discomfort you poor lass, ugly ? NEVER. A Wilsonette is a beautiful person INSIDE and OUT, remember that : )
Which is why we are so desperate to help NICK. With ALL the money CC make I think they have behaved dispically, sorry, have a heart CC !
Thats it Im done, finished, caput, so Im sending loving thoughts to Pam, thinking of you sweetheart, as I am to Tina and poor Janet. And to any beautiful Wilsonette that needs love n hugs today.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx
Good afternoon Sue and all follower, great card. Well done to all winners. Have a great Sunday, what's left of it. Sally x
Hi Sue,
Yep, I can see the Northern Lights, too in your beautiful card today. It is another stunner and well worth the extra effort that's gone into it.
Also love the felt flower and bow - there just isn't a colour which doesn't go well with black.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue
Beautiful card, love the coloured glitter, the flower is very pretty.
Pam, sending sunny Sunday hugs to you, I hope you find some sunshine today. X
Well done Claire, sounds amazing, you really have worked very hard. You deserve your prizes.
Well done Norah, enjoy your gift from Sue, I'm sure you will. Also congratulations to all the other Wilsonette winners.
Steph, hope everything went well today, look forward to hearing all about it. Hope you did'nt freeze too much today and sold lots.
Kind regards :-)

Another gorgeous card, Sue. Love the technique in this card. Well done to all the winners....
Hi Sue? I am sorry I could not blog yesterday but the Broadband, tv and phone we have with our supplier have all gone down since Friday !! We have nothing, even now !! It is day three today and it makes me wonder how we ever coped without technology !! I am only doing this now as hubby figured out how to connect my iPad to his own mobile phone signal !! Your card today is beautiful. I love the glitter technique you have used and then the micro beads over the top. Fab idea !! Your felt flower looks great too !! Your bold sentiment stamps are on my very long wish list but I am not buying anything else as I have to save all my money for Alley Palley !! I can't wait !! From reading other blog comments I see there are several people going. Should I make myself a W badge or a Sue Wilson bow with a dazzler in the centre ? So we can recognise each other !!
Pam, Lovely to see you here. I hope you are ok. Love and hugs to you from me x x x
Janet, I hope you are ok after your accident. X x x
Clare, Congratulations on winning those crafty competitions !! You did fantastically !!
Norah, I think you are on a roll !! Congratulations on winning Wednesday's card and now the comment game !! You must be so pleased !!
I am so sorry Nick could not win the c+c competition? I think that was very unfair of them to not notify him right from the beginning that he was not eligible to enter it.
Just yet another reason why I am unhappy with the conduct of Create and craft. I don't have much but I could donate a whole box of create and craft punches I have to Nick. I have only used one of them once. ( My wrists are to weak to use them.) If someone could let me know what to do to get them to him I would be only to happy. ( they are all brand new.) Please let me know if I can help. x x x
Lots of love to you Sue and all the Wilsonettes love tres x x x
Hi Sue
Beautiful card. Love the glitter colours and micro beads. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Everyone
I don't understand why Nick could not win this competition, could some one let me know why. Again if there is any other way to get some crafting materials to Nick, I am up there with everyone else, just need details.
X Tina
congrats to the winners ,and Sue this is a fab card ,Laura O
Wow, Glitter & microbeads! Looks Amazing. Theresa x
love the way you have mixed the glitters. look like distress inks. looks simple but a lot of wok has gone in it. love the clean lines xx
Hi Sue, I just love the colours of this card and the alphabet soup stamp is now on my wish list. Will have to stop looking at your blog as the wish list gets longer by the day! Jane x
Lovely card Sue and congrats to all the winners xx hazel
Hi Sue,
Love how you've used the different glitter colours for the one half of the background and the becca dies on the join and the micro beads. Beautiful felt flower too.
Congratulations to the winners and to Claire and Steph ,
Hugs to everyone
Jean D xx
Wonderful, the alphabet panel looks gorgeous! xx
Lots of work in this card but for some reason it is just not my cup of tea. Think it may be the black bow.
Well done to all the winners, especially Norah. Well done to Clare on all your success.
Shame about Nick not being eligible for the C & C comp. Does anyone know about postage rates to Bulgaria? Wonder whether money/voucher donations might be more affordable than the postage to send craft materials to him.
Beautiful card!
I love the bow with the flower.
What a lovely card, as you said, quite a bit of work, but well worth it!!!!

What a lovely card Sue. Like the half and half look. Congrats to all the winners. X
