Good Sunday morning all! Fire and Ice for today's card. I started by stamping the
Justrite background called Tufted Vintage Labels Seven with our
Flake and Glitter glue on to
black card. I gilded it with
Summer Meadow gilding flakes once the glue turned clear. I covered the background with a
sticky adhesive sheet then coated it with
Iced Snow. I stamped the
sentiment (Justrite Friendship Vintage Labels Seven) using a
black archival ink pad and cut it out with
Vintage Labels Seven. I mounted it up on foam for dimension. I gilded a piece of card then die cut several of my
Classic Rose die out of it, enough to make the two roses. I seated them on
gold tulle with some
black twine. I made two matching stick pins to go with them. I matted my background on a piece of black card that I ran dries clear glue around the edge of, then covered it with
Midnight Snow. I cut some white and black mats, including a white pierced mat layer to complete my card.
Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size.

ReplyDeleteFeeling slightly anxious about getting back to work tomorrow, seems so long sine June when I was last there but I need to do it for my sanity.
Hope everyone is well and hugs all round, help yourselves.
Oh wow this technique never fails to make me gasp at it, I simply love it and still have never tried it personally, think its time to do it for Christmas maybe!! hugs, Vick xx
ReplyDeleteStunning simply stunning, Sue never thought to gild card and then cut out to make the roses. What sort of dumbo am I they are fantastic. Have a great day. xxx
ReplyDeleteLove this card, Sue, particularly the background stamp (but would then have to get the labels dies too!)and gorgeous embellishments. Have the ingredients for fire and ice and really must try this technique.
ReplyDeleteWell done to all the winners.
'P' in Wales
Pam, good luck for tomorrow - just take it slowly!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue.

Hi Sue. I love todays card, the Fire and Ice technique looks stunning . The sentiment is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all of the Comment Game Winners.
I will be thinking of you tomorrow Pam.
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care.
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card. Thank you. Love the gilded roses. I hadn't thought to gild card and then cut it out. A useful technique.
Love, Roz.x
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteWow a very dramatic card lovely thank you, I now do the fire and ice quite a lot thanks.
Good luck for tomorrow Pam give it a day then it will be like you never left. Congrats to all the winners. Take care all. Kitty.
Hi Sue a beautiful opulent card with a true and touching sentiment. Congratulations to all the winners and enjoy your day everyone x
ReplyDeleteSunday Smiles to you Sue and all Wilsonettes.
ReplyDeleteI bet you have been missed so much at work Pam that you will be welcomed back with open arms. Good luck hon.
Im having a 'dumb' moment !! I could have sworn that the background was made by your embossing folder plus corner stamps ! Im really struggling with the instructions lol maybe I should re-read it when Im feeling a little more human !!
It really is a stunning card, full of luxury. I picked up a pot of the black snow a few months ago, and put it back, I shall certainly add it to my receipt when I go and fetch my gold and silver card from my little shop when it arrives, then I shall be all prepared to start my C cards.
Many congrats to all comment winners enjoy your gift.
To all that dont feel so well, I send my love and hugs.
Hope you all have a lovely day full of smiles and crafty happiness.
Love you.

morning Sue
ReplyDeleteToday's gift is a little too dark and heavy for me. So for me the star of today's gift is the sentiment. It is the truest I have seen ever and I use it whenever and wherever I can. I'm sorry Sue I don't seem to be having a good week=end re your gifts. So I'm looking forward to this coming week.
Norah - Take your time. You have had one of the worst experiences you can have and everything cannot go back immediately. The pain never really goes it just changes as time goes on. Mum will always be with you as long as you remember and talk to her.
I hope I haven't upset you in saying that.
Pam - please remember take it steady tomorrow and be prepared to be absolutely shattered tomorrow evening.
Sandra - we don't use the tunnel as the ferry is much cheaper and we can get a meal/coffee and escape any noisy passengers whereas on the tunnel you can't.
We have a little sunshine again this morning and the trees are now wearing their beautiful Autumn wardrobe.
Congratulations to all the very lucky winners.
To all who are in pain and not well hope you feel better soon.
To all take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, beautiful card with an even more beautiful sentiment! Congratulations to all the winners. Love Jean xxx
ReplyDeleteQuite a dramatic effect with the fire and ice. Love the sentiment, so true but sometimes hard to live up to.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been around but as you know went up to Scotland and like the idiot I am, forgot to take my iPad with me! Had a quick glance through last night at the week's cards and have to say they were beautiful - I really liked the sunset one and the Christmas ones and the heart stamps were really cute! Love today's even though it has a lot of black! It is very rich and classy. Well done to the winners as well.
Pam, I see you are back to work tomorrow - I hope everything goes well but please take it easy as you will be shattered! I'm sure everyone will be so pleased to see you.
Norah - what can I say!we have had the most beautiful time in your lovely country. For once, the sun cam out as we crossed the border at Carter Bar! We had a bit of rain on the Monday as we got to Oban but it dried up and from then we had 3 fabulous days of glorious sunshine! Had a lovely day on Isle of Mull - hubbie got to see his White Tailed Eagle so he was happy! Another day on Seil and another up around Fort William and Glencoe. Went uo Gondola at Aonoch Mor and had such fantastic views. Glencoe looks even more spectacular in the sun! Friday was a bit washed out but then sun again yesterday for our travel back. Came home via Inveraray and Arrochar as that was where we last went and again totally different when you don't need the wipers on full all of the time. To top it off we called at the beautiful Rosslyn Chapel and I was blown away by it - absolutely stunning. You have such a beautiful country and all of the Scots made us feel very welcome. Mind you it's lovely to come home though! I have a very clingy cat at the moment who is following me everywhere and as soon as I sit down she just wants a cuddle.
Well must go and get started on the washing ( back to reality!) . I will try to catch up with all the comments, but I do hope everyone has a lovely day and sending love and hugs to those who need/ want them. Great to be back, love Alison xxx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA beautifully opulent card today; the roses are stunning. I love it! Thank you for sharing this and congratulations to today's winners. Enjoy the rest of your day Sue.

Morning Sue, Fabulous card. The sentiment is very true and meaningful. I would never have thought of guilding card and then cutting out the roses, that is definitely one I am going to try. Suppose I had better pretend to do some housework first before I rush into my craft room!

Hi Sue,

I love this fire and ice technique, and your roses are very beautiful.
Oooooooo I'm really chuffed to be one of your winners today.
Thank you so much, will email you shortly.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
I always love this technique and the tip to gild intricate pieces first then cut is a fab idea
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, another wonderful example of a great technique (which I have yet to attempt). Love the rich colours, and it looks great with the black, very elegant. Congrats to the comment game winners. Have a lovely Sunday. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and everyone, what a luscious card today. I love the roses done this way.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for tomorrow Pam. I had a return to work after some months off earlier in the year and it takes a bit of time to get back into the swing of things so treat yourself kindly whilst you're getting there - and after a few weeks you'll hopefully feel up to speed. Best of luck.

Good luck for tomorrow Pam and just take it steady.
Congratulations to all the lucky winners.

Morning Sue and everyone, beautiful card, beautiful sentiment, this card is so opulent, I love it. Not managed to visit my craft room for two whole weeks:( due to work commitment, fingers crossed today I will. Yeahhhhhhh!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Sunday everyone. Linda.
Happy Sunday morning to all Wilsonettes. Today's card looks a tad dark for me unless that is the camera not picking up the colours in a good light. Very interesting though.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all winners, you will enjoy your gifts.
Pam, take a few deep breaths and then remember to keep breathing. You will be fine at work tomorrow, you have us all wishing you the very very best and we will carry you when you falter. Good luck.
Hugs to all that need one this week.

ReplyDeleteThe fire and ice background looks amazing and I bet it looks even better in real life. I'm loving the background stamp,as well.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother stunner today, if a bit on the dark side for me. But it's the technique that matters not the colour of the card. Although I do like black cards. I must give this technique a go. I know I say that every time. But I will one day.
Don't over do it tomorrow Pam, you're first day back to work.
Hugs to all in need of one today, and I shall make a start on putting our bedroom back to its original state. Perhaps not quite as I'm trying to get Pete to throw away clothes that don't fit him any more. I know, you thought it was only ladies that kept their clothes. He's had so many operations on his stomach that he has 4 large hernias so what he used to wear will never ever fit him, so why is he keeping them I keep asking him. No answer, is the stern reply.
Hugs to all in need of one today and have a lovely Sunday.
This is a Wow card.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rich card today with a lovely sentiment and two gorgeous roses, congratulations to all the lucky winners
Pam you'll be fine tomorrow just take it easy and rest your ankle when you can
Sheila happy anniversary

ReplyDeleteSue your card is just FAB.....
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners.
Elaine H X
Morning Sue. I love fire and ice and this card shows it of to perfection. I have tried making the roses with a piece of gilded card but the plain card on the back always shows but yours don't but I love them anyway. Thank you for all the lovely ideas you show us and share with us. Hugs Heatherx
ReplyDeleteCongrats to this weeks winners. Beautiful card as always.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Gorgeous card - I love this technique. Your gilded roses are stunning :-) Congrats to the winners. Have a lovely day and hugs to all xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a gorgeous card. Very rich and elegant looking. I love your fire and ice technique although not yet tried it myself. Congratulations to all the lucky winners.
ReplyDeleteStunning card, have tried gilding flakes but never together with iced snow. The effect is gorgeous especially the gilded rose. I am trying that today!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave the Midnight Snow but not opened it yet.
Another fab card .. and YAY!! I am a winner .. congrats to all other winners :)
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and Wilsonette Angels,
ReplyDeleteWOW Sue, this is one of those dear cards that i just couldn't afford to buy. I must admit having fallen in love with the stamp and the die as it is a lovely shape but it will need to be way down the wish list as there are other more important things before it, like top of the list is getting the filigree poinsettia die as it is so pretty and i could them put the filigree bow with it to complement it. Thank you Sue for bringing that touch of luxury to our grasp as well.
Well done to all our winners this week.
Pam, i know exactly what you mean about the stating back work after being off for a while as i felt queasy, sweating, scared when i had been off for a year and they put me into a total new team that i knew no one, so yes flower deep breaths and do a Les Dawson in arms under bust putting everything in place and walk with head held high and as long as you are in flats you shouldn't fall.
Sandra, accomplished i am not, but i am trying to make them as handmade as possible and not look homemade. I took one to let my friend see it as i am going to be making her sons' wedding invitations(he is marrying my special niece) and she was fair taken with them and i am hoping that it wasn't because she was trying to be nice as i don't want to make a fool of them. I have made these in silver and white with iridescent lace, a diamanti heart with chiffon and satin ribbon through it. So fingers crossed that they are received ok.
Steph, you are just getting that after me yesterday, as i just couldn't get it through my noggin yesterday that it was patterned papers and not stamped, so don't worry you are good company. I wish instead of our brains going off on holiday by themselves they would take the rest of our body with them.
Alison, i am so glad you saw my beautiful country in all it's glory as it can be breath taking on some of the roads that you go up or come down. When the sun is shining you get to see all the different colours of trees, bushes, heathers and plants and just how they mark out the landscape is remarkable. We can have beauty in the tiniest thing though and so does England. A kind word, nod or action can make all the difference to a holiday and i am so glad you got treated to that. Welcome home though and i bet your cat is wondering if you are going to desert her again soon. How is your Aunt?
Tina, i have a stupid question:- is Anthea your daughters maid of honour? Because i can be slow i am not sure but what i can pick up is that she is your "adopted daughter". I have friends like that, that have adopted me over the years as the either the daughter they never had or the one they could always tell things to when their own was going off on a collision course with reality.Mum always said that Jim and I would get a piece(sandwich for anyone not Scottish, sorry) at anybodies door.
Thank you my angels for keeping me going when i need it most. You pick me up when i am down and keep me going when i don't see any point, so thank you can never say what i really feel and mean for what you all do for me.
Well my hills are still having a sleep in this morning so i will go and leave you all with hugs for all my angels here on blog and those not able at the moment,
Love and crafty hugs

crafty hugs helen xxx
Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue, and all the ladies.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this card, Sue, but the background is a bit dark for me. Of course, seeing it up close and personal may convince me that it's not too dark (lol).
Alimecca - glad you're back and enjoyed your break in Scotland.
Sheila - congrats on your Anniversary. Only a few bumps along the way of 46 years, you're lucky. We have bumps every 46 minutes!!!
Pat SW - hubby's clothes are one of the bumps that we have. Them and shoes. He's worse than a woman for shoes and I cannot tell you how many have gone into the charity bag never worn!
Norah, because Scotland is so close we go regularly and have been when it's red hot, and when the golf courses have been under water up to the top of the flags. Doesn't make any difference - we always have a wonderful happy time.
Yorkielass, I'm so disappointed I won't get to meet up this time, but you're probably heaving a sigh of relief ha ha. x
Pam, don't get stressed, just go in and breathe and I bet everyone will make such a fuss of you.
Love to all xx
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Very opulent. Kind regards Joanne K x

ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue - I love this card it is so rich and opulent. After white on white I think black is a close second.
ReplyDeleteHave just been to see my Mum and her sister who is visiting for a few days. Bless her she comes over from Ireland twice a year to check on Mum. I'm not sure they have stopped talking yet!!
Pam I along with everyone else will be thinking of you tomorrow. Just think how happy everyone will be to see you back - but remember you will be exhausted tomorrow night.
Congrats to the winners and I hope everyone has a good day. Helen K xx

Hi Norah. Yes, Anthea was Claire's Maid of Honor or ( dis-honor )Her words not mine. Claire and Anthea met when Claire was doing her Saturday job. They instantly clicked ,and have the same wicked sense of humor. She adopted us the 1st time we met, she said she loved the mother daughter relationship I have with Claire and asked if she could be part of it. We didn't hesitate,as she comes with a lovely boy who thinks we are grand parents. ( love it ). Her mum is a lovely lady but does'nt really listen to her. Don't get me wrong she loves her mum. I have met her several times and she's lovely, but I get what Anthea means by not listening. They both have a tough path to walk now with Anthea's cancer, and we have opened our home up to Anthea her son Jake and her mum if they need a break and want to be waited on at weekends before the treatment starts again on the Monday.
Love and hugs to you and Rory X
Hugs to my special friends X
Kind regards :-)

Wardrobes dilemmas Pat S-yes it's the same here.Trousers and shirts he think he will get "back into" one day when the "style is back",they are 20 odd years,Get rid! Saying that I probably should look on my side of the wardrobe, ups!

Hi Sue thanks for another stunning card. I've never realised how incredible black and gold could look until now. I can't wait for the rest of the weeks ideas, always something new to learn no matter how long you've been crafting. Many many thanks. Have a great week everyone.
ReplyDeleteHi Pam
ReplyDeleteNew management, new team members, changed desk, new computer systems, and a new start for a lady with a lot of what that company needs and thats knowledge and experience. you go in there and show them how it should be done. I will be thinking of you.
Kind regards :-)

Opulent-looking card though it's a bit dark for me - perhaps it's my computer. Yet another way to make those beautiful roses. I hadn't thought of gilding and then cutting.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for Monday, Pam. Hope you and your husband had a lovely anniversary Sheila G. Congratulations to all the winners.
Take care everyone.
