Good Sunday morning all! Another panel card but this time it is the caught in crystal technique. I love this technique and just have to revisit it every so often. I selected three colours of
alcohol ink: cool peri, purple twilight and aqua. On a piece of
acetate, I used
clear Crystal Lacquer and swizzled it all over the sheet. Next, I dripped the
alcohol inks all around, being very sparing with the purple twilight as it is much deeper than the other two. I flicked some
silver mica powder on to the surface to add some shimmer. I crumpled a piece of white tissue paper and then placed it over the top and used some kitchen roll to tamp it down. I left it to dry overnight. I cut the background into three equal strips and then matted it with white card (this helps to make the colours pop) for my background. I cut the
Provence die from my French Collection in
coconut white card. I used the smaller die from the
Salzburg and cut a frame. I stamped my sentiment then glued the frame over it. I added a thin bead of dries clear glue around the edge of the frame and dusted it with
Iced Snow and allowed it to dry before mounting it in the centre. I wrapped some
white seam binding around the bottom of the card and added a bow. I made a couple of melted flowers and added one to my bow and one to my sentiment tag. I finished the bow with two matching stick pins. I pierced a background mat in
coconut white card then finished the card with a final white mat. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size.

What an interesting bachground! Lovely card
Another lovely card Sue.
Sunday Smiles to you Sue, all Wilsonettes and all comment winners.
Id forgotten just what a wonderful effect C.I.C has for a background. I remembering playing with this kind of thing last year, but in pinks, sooo much fun.
The colour's chosen make every wonderful detail of this card POP. What a lovely start to this dark wet day.
Although its dark and miserable at the moment, Im going to TRY to bring some Sue style sunshine into my day.
I hope those that feel unwell or down can also find a little Sue sunshine to brighten your day and I too send warm caring hugs.
TOB - hope this sunshine hug reaches you today xx
To our lovely sister's that are finding life a struggle, we will be waiting to welcome you home as soon as you are ready.
I look forward to another week of amazing inspiration, and whatever your plans are Sue, have a wonderful week.
Hoping the kitchen is warm and cosy, coffee pot on the burner ready to hear about our day in France.
Love you.

LS xx
Good morning Sue and everyone. Love the card, and your stick pins just finish it beautifully. I'm so looking forward to seeing your new dies.
Cheryl - wishing you strength and good wishes for your forthcoming treatment. Sandra, I was pleased to read that you had decided to use your own details for the craft fair, your daughter was brilliant to do your business cards - hope it went well and that your health isn't suffering too much afterwards.
Hope you don't mind me using your blog Sue but I'd like to ask if anyone has seen the new Cut n Boss in action, it is worth the money?
Sending hugs to all in pain. Sue xxx

Morning Sue,
"Before I Start I Just Wanted To Say Have A Safe Flight Home, We're Going To Miss You While You're Gone, But Say Hello To Your Wonderful Mom From All Of Us."
Today's Card Is Truly Exquisite I Just Love The Awesome Background And How You've Created It And Then Cut It Into Three Panels And Raising It For Effect.
This Card Is Extremely Rich, Opulent, Striking And So Very Much More, I Just Love Every Thing About It.
I Can't Remember You Using Anything Like This In A Video, But I So Wished I Had I Know Time Limits Are A Problems But It Would Be Great To See Maybe Done In Sections Like Part 1 And Part 2, I Know I'm Going Crazy Asking To Much From You.
I Love The Stunning Colours You've Selected The Cool Peri, Purple Twilight, And Purple Using Fabulous Crystal Lacquer And Adding Beautiful Silver Mica Powder. I Love The Beautiful Provence Die You've Used For Your Centre, And I Truly Love How You've Added Iced Snow Around The Edges Of Your Sentiment, Your Fabulous Bow As Always And Yet Another Beautiful Signature of Yours The Beautiful Stick Pins That You Now Create.
Sue Thank You For Sharing This Amazing Card, Thank You For The Great Photography Shots, They Bring Your Cards To Life.
Sue Take Great Care
Love And Hugs
From Sam xxx
Hugs To All
Congratulations To All The Weekly Comment Winners I'm Sure You'll Be Thrilled With Your Gift.
Hi Sue and everyone, such a lovely card and this technique always look so good. Love your dies on this one, they really do stand out.
Congrats to all the winners x
Very pretty - I haven't done caught in crystal for a long time - thanks for reminding me about it
Love this technique Sur but haven't used it since last Christmas! Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to make some cards today and will use this idea again.
Happy day everyone, the weather outside makes this a certain crafting day!
Marion B xx
Hi sue Lovely card, never tried this but was meaning to, think craft club ladies might be getting messy this week lol. Thanks for fabulous inspiration angxxxx
I love doing this technique and this look s great Sue, Vick xx
I love the caught in crystal and it looks especially good in the colours you have used. The finished card is lovely.
morning Sue from a very damp Burgundy Sunday morning.
Caught in Crystal is one technique I have not yet tried. I suppose I'm being a coward but one day I may be brave enough.
I love your colours for today's gift and of course your French collection is just gorgeous. I would love someone to send this to me on my special day.
Sandra - hope all went well yesterday and you're not too tired and in pain as a result.
Norah -my love everything is still too raw for you yet. It takes time for that to ease. The pain never goes away it just changes as time goes on. You're doing really well my lovely friend. Just let nature take her course.
Steph - hope you manage to get into that lovely craft room of yours today. It is certainly a better place than outside in the cold and damp - not good for you! Nothing but an ordinary day yesterday here - just a sweep round; clean the bathroom etc and then some embroidery in the afternoon. I was still recovering from the surprise dispute in the Market on Friday. We are very very quiet here and even in Corbigny market town we've never seen anything like it before. After all the highlight of the week is usually the local farmer taking a couple of his cows in a trailer from one field to another. Because of inheritance laws etc their farms could be split over a great area and of course at this time of year all the so called 'tourists' have gone home so it's extra quite. As our old next door naighbour used to say 'so so tranquil' 'so so peaceful and without conflict'.
Congratulations to all this week's lucky winners.
To all who are in pain and under the weather am hoping your day gets better as it moves along. To all take care and stay safe.
See you tomorrow.
Good morning Sue and fellow crafters,
Wow, the panels are wonderful, this is a technique I have not yet, but I can see a little crafting done this afternoon.
Congrats to the winners! Thinking of you Pam and anyone else in a bad place.

Hi Sue
I've never heard of caught in crystal before, so I will have to investigate further. The results look stunning.. The detail on the die is jus gorgeous.
Best wishes, Anne O
The background takes on the look of marble. Just really adore this effect. Another winner Sue x x
Great panels. Love this look. Beautiful finished card. Congratulations to all the winners xx
Such a clever technique with beautiful effects. Very stylish.
Hi Sue. What a gorgeous card. I love the effect the caught in crystal technique gives, and the colours you have used here are beautiful together. I still don't have any alcohol inks (crafting on a small budget means there is always something else-like your wonderful dies, that takes priority) I must ask Sandra and Pat if they have any I could have a play with. The Provence and Salzburg dies look so good too, with just a hint of sparkle. Love it all : )
Congratulations to all of the lucky winners : )
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care.
Very pretty, never tried this technique.
Party went well last night, some fab outfits!
Lovely flowers for me for doing all the tables which was so nice.
Back to work tonight!

Morning Sue,
Beautiful striking card. X
Morning everyone and congrats to all the lucky winners. Love the card never tried doing this type of background, will have to give it a go. The French collection of dies is beautiful and they make such pretty cards.
GM Sue - love the colours you've used here - so effective. I've tried this technique once and was pleased with the results - but I must do it again after the Ccards are done - which I've still yet to start - maybe next week hopefully. Congrats to all the winners - enjoy.

Fabulous card. I have just ordered the Salzburg and Vienna dies, can't wait for them to arrive and play. xx
Wonderful magical card! I think the Caught in Crystal has to be my favourite background as it does have that magic quality about it, and it reminds me of the very first time I saw you on TV , you were demonstrating this technique ( 9 years or so ago? ) I taped it and kept it till we got a new digital TV , and I knew then you were " Special" as you explained everything so clearly and looked so happy! I must do some backgrounds like this today.
Maureen , I hope you enjoyed the Golden Wedding and relaxed after all your hard work.
Special hugs to Pam ,Norah, Steph and Yorkielass June.
Congratulations to all the winners!
Love and Hugs to all xo

Excited to have won in the comments game. Thank you so much Sue! xxx
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies.
Lovely card today Sue, one of my favourite techniques.
Ecco - try the caught in crystal, it's fab. Sue demonstrates this on her DVD and I've used it since the DVD came out. The christmas baubles are gorgeous when cut out, after it dries!!
Anne, the celebrations yesterday were great, didn't get home until after midnight and was worried in case the coach turned back into a pumpkin!
Yorkielass - where are you, hope you are well.
Sorry, forgot to congratulate Dawn yesterday, and congrats to comment winners today.
Barbiepinkfairy - pleased you had a good time last night.

BEAUTYFULL!!! liefs anneke
Good morning Sue and Wilsonette friends,
Today's card reminds me of a Monet painting with the crystal lacquer technique. It looks like mulberry paper underneath acetate as it has the look of the fibres that make up the paper, but hey we know that i have a very fertile imagination and see things, well there is a flower or outside in umbrella down in the bottom right hand corner and a fish up at the top left, please tell me someone else can see them too? I love the colour scheme in today's card Sue as it is soft and subtle but so lovely. Another beautiful card that gives our memories a jolt back to the past for techniques. I have just read on my favourite dies shop that you are bringing out a Gemini die set this time, that will need to be my first of the new sets. Strange how my eyes seen it's name first within your line up of what they have and have coming.
Pam, sending you hugs dear friend.
Cheryl, i am so happy that you can have your treatment done and out of the way so that you can have some energy to have a joyful Christmas with your family. It is going to wipe you out lass but oh how worth it it will be. Sending strong positive hugs your way as we need to build you up before it starts.
Anne, I am glad that Iain is getting good reports home from the hospital and that he is getting stronger with each passing day. It was him trying to be a he-man and lift you over the threshold again all these years down the line that did it i reckon. Tell him to stick to the cup of tea or coffee in future;)). Seriously though i am really pleased that he is on the mend for your sake as well as his as it takes it toll the worry.
Yorkie Lass June, you are missed flower so much, but all i can say is thinking of you and hope that you come back as soon as you are able. Take care and sending hugs.
Pam, i would send you strength but mines as taken feet and fled. I would send you courage but mines is failing, so all i can send is love and hugs dear friend.
Sandra, i hope that you are ok dear lady and i hope that what we said helped you come to a decision. Your creativeness and beauty that you bring should not be sidelined by someone else or "used" by them for their own gain. You have a wonderful talent that deserves it's own recognition. (())
Steph see when you find your mojo and energy again keep a wee bit back in reserve for leaner creative days.(())
Well done to all of today's winners, enjoy ladies your prize when it arrives.
The black clouds that were over the hills and skies have moved on some where else now so i hope that we can have a nice day. I don't mind it raining on the hills or at night when we are sleeping but i need the brightness of the day especially since the clocks went back as it gets so dark so early. Have a good day everyone with hugs going to all my Angels both on blog the now and not. I hope that the sun will shine out from wherever you are today. My thoughts and prayers to all my dear Angels not up to the mark at the moment,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)

this idea would be great with all kind of colors...

Gorgeous card Sue! I love the colours you have used along with the white card, so wintery and cold.
The Caught In Crystal technique is amazing and you never get two cards the same. There is a video at the top of the Blog for anybody who hasn't tried it yet.
Congratulations to all the lucky winners!!!

I am definitely going to try the crystal technique!! It is an enchanting design!! Congratulations to the lucky winners!!!
TFS!
Hi Sue, I love this technique! I've used a similar method before but never with the clear Crystal Lacquer. I need to get a bottle and have a try as I think a card like this would be fantastic with the colours tweaked a bit for my beautiful sister's ruby wedding anniversary next spring...I'm still trying to work out how on earth I can have a sister as old as that lol. The stick pins just finish it off so well :). As always, thanks for sharing with us. x
love love love this card the colours are beautiful.i am into panel cards must try this style.
Love this technique, and what a stunning card.
Those background panels are just fabulous! Congrats to this week's winners too!! Susan x

Steph, yesterday was a nightmare from start to finish and as a result I am still stuck in bed now, I have never felt pain like this in a long time, plus I seem to have flu symptoms too!
There were about 5 other major events going on in town this weekend including WI craft Fayre, which is in town centre, another gift fair a charity Boot sale and a huge charity book sale! We ended up in an annexe off the main hall, chosen by my fellow stall holder, they forgot to open the main door to this room so nobody knew there were more craft stalls in there, the result of which meant that in total 3, yes 3 people actually came over and looked at my cards/jewellery, they were also stall holders, most other stall holders were pretty fed up, one actually said she had sold more in one hour on her website than the six ire so hours we were sat there! I just feel devastated really, felt like giving up totally, because I had battled through pain to get as much as I could together in time, which was a good thing as the other woman had about nine things in total including a babies matinee set that counted for three of the nine things! What an experience!
Thank you sell so much for your help and advice, I just wish one that I hadn't bothered!
Huge hugs to each and everyone of my lovely Wilsonette family!

Hi Sue. WOW !! This is a stunning card today !! I love the caught in crystal technique. I have not tried this technique before as I don't have any alcohol inks and I am not really one of those crafters who likes to do messy stuff !! (although myself and my stepdaughter do enjoy experimenting with the shaving foam technique !! We have found that quite fun to do.) I will have to get some alcohol inks and give it a go. The results look fantastic Sue !! I love your three panel cards. Your Provence dies ans Salzburg dies look great Sue. I love the bow and your beautiful stick pins to. A truly beautiful card today Sue. Thank for sharing.
I hope you have a safe journey home. Sending lots of love to you and your family from Tres x x x

Hi Sue what a lovely card. My favourite colours in it. I like the techniques you have used Sue. I think you are slowly egging us on to have a go at some more adventurous card making!!! At the moment I am bogged down and loving it -with Christmas cards and decorations with my little grand kids which are taking up most of my time but I will remember this very effective way of using inks etc. And try it out in the new year. Think you are offover the pond in time for Thanksgiving and seeing Mum so enjoy Sue. Bon voyage Maureen
Lovely Card .. xx

I was inspired by one of your CIC Christmas cards you made last year and intended to create a card with this technique for my daughter's Xmas card. Your timing is perfect as it was a good refresher lesson. Thanks

Hi Sue,
Fabulous card. Love it. Thank you.
Much love,

Beautiful card. I love the beautiful marbled effect of the inks. Sometimes I wish you would show us some of your "fails" that is if you have any, lol. I am starting to get an inferiority complex. I pinned as usual.

This is a gorgeous card. The caught in crystal background is fabulous. Not tried this technique but have added it to my "must try" list.
Norah, I see your fish and umbrella. Have you noticed the little creature crawling up from behind the top r-h corner of the die?
Take care everyone.
