Hi bloggers! I am so hoping to see many of you at Ally Pally today and tomorrow, please do come by and see me at the Rubbernecker booth and say hello. The card today is from last Sunday's shows and it shows off the pretty
Swirly frame mask that was on the show. I used it to emboss the pattern into the
coconut white card background. For the centre, I used my
Decorative Frames from the Italian Collection and cut the heart circle in white. I stamped the design from the
Ribbon and Swags set on white card and embossed it with white powder and cut it out using the
Lacey Tiers die set. While still in the die, I inked it with
Eggplant Adirondack ink which brought the stamped image to life. I stamped the sentiment from the same set and cut it out with the smaller die in the
Vintage Labels Seven die set. I inked it with Eggplant as well. To give a little frill around the sentiment, I added two Heartfelt Creations corners. As embellishments, I made a couple of felt flowers and seated them on
white tulle, pearl strings and stick pins. I cut several of the small dies from the
Classic Rose out of
white felt and made some small flowers for the top of the focal element.
Flatback pearls adorned each of the corners and a double white pierced mat finished off the entire card. Finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size.
Saturday's post is usually when I announce the Wednesday card giveaway winner, but it has been delayed due to being away in London at Ally Pally for the weekend. I will announce the winner's name on my post on Monday. Don't forget to check back. All for now, Sue x

Hope all who are going to Alley Pally today have a really good day out.
Today's gift is so beautiful and girlie and I can think of many friends who would be delighted to receive this.
I still haven't tried flowers and felt. I must put one day aside so that I can play with felt flowers, stick pins, classic roses etc. Will let you know how I am when this day has passed.
See you tomorrow.

Lovely card, Sue, nice usage of the mask for embossing - never thought they would emboss so deeply, so something new to try.
Safe traveling and have a great time, all the Wilsonettes going to AP.
Thanks again Pam and also Norah and Yorkielass for kind thoughts. Have caught up on sleep - himself has of course immediate relief via the op but the usual problems associated with it are troublesome. But can't keep a good man down, though!!
Yvonne, we are a chatty lot and welcome to the blog - also to a lot of other newbies recently.

Tandy. Sorry to hear that the rash is still bad. I am sure you have already tried it but if not Aloe Vera is very good for skin problems. If you haven't tried it then the best way is to snap off a piece from the plant and apply the juice onto the problem area.If you can't get a plant then a chemist will have it in bottled form. I hope you find some relief very soon. Take care.
Hi Sue
Loving today's card. The embossing is so pretty as are the felt flowers.
Have a great time at Ally Pally. Wish I could be there. Could you perhaps go to Summer Crafting at Doncaster in July? Bit nearer to me!

Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
A really lovely card again today Sue, oh how i wish i could get my masks to emboss like that. The blue is a beautiful shade and with the felt flower and stick pins finishing it off.
Glad to see you being brave Clare and showing the world your support for Sue and her mini masterpieces. I really hope that all our lovely Wilsonettes have a wonderful time at the show today and meeting our heroine. Pace yourselves and you will last longer and enjoy more. The green you see is not envy or jealousy honest, but how i wish i could be there to meet each of you.
I do not know where my mind had wandered off to yesterday, probably looking for the eyesight that missed Cameeli's beautiful poem and Lindsay's birthday, i am so sorry Lindsay. That's two days in a row that i have missed a birthday. I hope you had a lovely day flower and being up at 4:30 this morning, waooo that is a woman on a mission, have fun today.
Rosemarie, i will wish you daughter every happiness today flower as you will be far to busy tomorrow on her very special day, when she will look like a princess and you a very young queen.
"P" in Wales, so glad you are feeling more refreshed and your hubby has come back to doing what he does best, i hope that he has the get up and go in his step for a good long while.
Karenlottie, although not my beloved dad's first birthday away from us it would have been him turning 80 on the 8th and yes flower it will get easier on you, a part of you is still so sad that they can't be with you. I am sorry flower that you went through this week without the comfort of friends here on the blog not being able to comfort you at the time. I know not everyone tells their story on the blog, but i know that i wouldn't be without anyone of the beautiful people that come on each day as they do care so much and are truly the very best of friends that someone could have. Tomorrow is going to be so hard for 2 very special people and Pam and Tandy both know that we are sending cyber hugs through the computer to them. I wish that we could support you all physically, but we can through the computer without intruding too much.
I got a lovely phone call from my daughter who is in Eygpt on holiday, she got engaged to her boyfriend of 3 years on the anniversary of them first meeting. So i now have my step daughter you got engaged in February and my own yesterday. How lucky am i, as i now have two lovely new sons in my family.
Have a great day everyone where ever you are today and hopefully see you all tomorrow.
Love and crafty hugs to all my dear blog friends,
Norah (Glenochil)

Another stunning card Sue. Have a fab weekend at Alley Pally. Lots of love, Jo xx
Hi Sue,
Hi Everyone,
Well the great day has arrived! Trust you all managed to meet up! Would be lovely to put faces to names! Really hope you get some photos which we can see! If not well make do with the news!!
Margaret A - Julia sells packs of plain pins in her store.
Hope that helps a little. The Bead and Button Company sell lovely beads online and they show actual sizes.i have had some very pretty ones.
Pauline A - definitely worth getting the felt which Sue recommends as it is fantastic. The texture is so different.
Steph trust all goes well on the dog training front! You didn't say if your hands were better. Trust they are.
Rosemarie and family have a truly lovely day tomorrow. Hope the sun shines for you.
Pam all the best for tomorrow. So many of us will be thinking of you and sending crafty hugs.
Sue, love today's card - it is really beautiful. Love the colours and the die combination . Bow and pins - well I just love those. Trust you have a great two days at Ally Pally and that you try to control Julia's giggle! LOL
Love to all,
Myra
great card, lovely colour, sentiment speaks for itself x
Another stunning offering. Happy Days.
Ok 3rd time lucky !!!.grrr. Hi again Sue and lovely Wilsonettes. Such stunning cards Sue, both yesterdays and todays card are stunningly beautiful and a touch of simplicity and magic in todays card.
After a couple of not so nice days Im doing okish. After waking with hands the size of boxing gloves I arranged to get some joint injections in my hands, the only downside to that is that with the joints being so tiny sometimes the steroid can crystlise inbetween joints, yep, it did ! I can only imagin its like having tiny micro beads rubbing up into your joints like a ball bearing going round a pinball machine, boy I cried like a baby ! By 10am following morning enough was enough so my consultant arranged for me to have pain killing injections at my local hospital, needless to say I slept and slept waking not sure of the day ! But thats in the past thank goodness, my way of getting through usually is 'tomorrow is another day' but I needed help this time !
The cards Sue are truly beautiful sprinkled with stunning magical embelishments.
I really really wish I could get to AP but not possible, but have my White/Red rose beauties seen a large craft show in Bolton 31/1 June ? Bolton Arena by the Reebock Stadium, its NO consolation I know, but just thought Id bring it to your attention.
Hope our lucky ladies are having a wonderful craft day at AP and have all found each other. Cant wait to read alllll about it. Eyes heavy so time for a quick power nap.
Sending love to all.
Same place tomorrow : )

Adorable card Sue. Totally jealous of all the fold who are going to meet you at ally pally - that would be awesome!
You have done these felt flowers before but I don't know how you create the bigger ones, maybe next time could you show that on one of your video tutorials please. Hope your not too exhausted after today I know you will be busy!

Hi Sue, really beautiful card, love the sentiment, hope you are enjoying Ally Pally. Bx
Hi Sue, what an abfab card, love everything about it from the mask to the hatpins. Hope you get a good rest tonight ready for another busy day at ap. To all that managed to get to ap today I hope you had a brilliant time and spent lots on crafty goodies. To all that have sent me best wishes thank you. No rest yesterday with pesky poochies ( no longer fur babies little b's) as a pigeon with serious attitude issues decided to do a moon walk ( dance move from Michael Jackson I think) up and down the shed roof whilst giving the said poochies the evil eye, thus ensuring they would try to recreate "Tigger's" bouncing moves to try to catch it. I must say that if poochies had been male they would have probably given up after a very short time, but no, even when pigeon had decided that it had exhausted all the laughs it could get and flew off, my poochies carried on trying to get onto the shed roof. The pantomime kept me entertained for quite a while.
Lindsay - thanks for your concern, hubby was off today so that meant I could have a lay in whilst he looked after poochies. I have had a good deal of rest today and as I now have hobnail boots tap dancing on my head instead of red hot pokers I am feeling not so bad. lol to all lynne m x x x
Hi Sue & all,
Just a quick post to say to Rosemarie that I hope your daughter's wedding goes well and that you all have a lovely day. Hope the weather staye fine. Also to dear Steph, I really do hope that your poor hands are much better today, it must have been so painful for you. Love to everyone . Alison xx
