Hello crafters! I just can't stay away from the Fire and Ice Technique for too long and this one is all about it! I started with a piece of milk card and cut the
Austrian Background die. I covered the front of it with a
sticky adhesive sheet, turned it over and gilded it from the back with
Summer Meadow gilding flakes. Next I peeled off the backing sheet that was still on the front of the card, exposing the adhesive and covered it with
Iced Snow. I trimmed it and added mounting foam to the back. Next I cut a frame using the
Salzburg die set out of white card and backed it with vintage gold card. I added mounting foam to the back and stamped my sentiment, mounting the frame over it. I trimmed the excess card away and added it to the middle of my card with glue. I gilded an extra piece of white card and then cut the
Delicate Daisies Complete petal out of it. It is easier to cut the gilded card than it is to gild the cut daisies as you run the risk of creasing the petals. I added the open petal die cut out of white card to the top of each of the flowers then coated the petals with
Cosmic Lacquer and allowed them to dry overnight before assembling my flowers. I tied a messy bow out of
white seam binding and added the largest flower to it with a couple of matching stick pins. I made two smaller flowers and added them to the opposite side of the framed sentiment. I finished the card with a paper pierced milk mat layer, then a thin mat of
vintage gold card and a final
milk card mat. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 9" in size. If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this one, just leave a comment and check back on Saturday to see if your name has been drawn! All for now, Sue x

Sam Smithard not commented for a few days - anyone in contact?? Thought it strange she didn't bubble over after her candy win, so hope OK.
Morning Sue.
Thank you so much, another beauty.
I love that technique. Take care all Kitty.
Elegant! Gorgeous card!
Very pretty car. Will have to try this technique. Maybe Santa will bring gilding flakes and adhesive sheets?
Good Morning Sue!
Elegant and Classic in gold! Love this creation and adding of those sticky pins made it more gorgeous!!!
Good morning Sue
I love! love! love! it, it's such a pretty card. Your fire and ice technique is stunning and always gives the Wow factor to the cards. The stick pins are beautiful as always and gives just the right finish to your card. I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying using the dies from your last launch, I love how they mix and match with any existing dies I already have.
I hope Sam is okay.
Hugs x

Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card. The fire and ice is a great technique and putting the laquer on to the completed flower is lovely as it leaves it with a glossy finish another great tip. Have a lovely day.

Hi Sue,
A lovely card. I really do ove your fire and ice technique, but I'm a bit like Steph with gilding flakes! The cat runs a mile if she sees them! I don't think she'll ever forgive me for turning her from a silk black into a golden sparkly black!
Off to hospital today for my routine yearly appointment to check my knee replacement is ok. Hopefully it shouldn't take long and then I can concentrate on putting my tree up. I'm determined it is going up today even though Dave thinks it's too early! Christmas Day would be too early for him!! Sending love and hugs to all especially those in pain, having or recovering from treatment or generally just feeling down. Love Alison xxx
Gorgeous - I'm so glad I bought this die - it has so many uses and is one of my very favourites ! No crafter should be without the Austrian background !
Hugs,

A gorgeous and very striking card Sue, love it! Hugs Carole Z X
Great card. Was busy composing a card last night which looks similar but used iced snow instead! Was thinking how to do bow / finishing touch, you have solved my problem!
Tilly and friend loved build a bear and the Trafford centre. I am shattered but now full on for Christmas!
Happy crafting and stay warm and safe xxx
Congrats to candy winners. Sam are you OK
Hugs to Norah, missing your tales, come back soon!

Love,
Ivy L xx
WAUW what a beautiful card here again today. Love the sparkling touch on it.
Morning Sue, fantastic card, the fire and ice just has that wow factor. I would certainly give it pride of place. Frost replaced by rain here today, not very nice. Hope everyone has a good day.
Love Rosemarie xx
Hi Sue and all visiting this wonderful blog today.
Oh Sue, this is just the prettiest card, from start to finish it just sparkles and smiles at us, my heart is pounding, Im breaking out in a sweat at the thought of all those flakes and sticky adhesive sheet LOL...
Oh Midnight Snow, how you love thee (NOT) what a complete disaster I had yesterday.. How you would have laughed - boy oh boy do those black doods stick to you LOL I was covered ! Using my fav male colour scheme of Foundations vintage gold with the slightest black border I could do, decided to give the Austrian Vienna a bit of masculine black sparkle... But didnt want to use too much (why use more than you have to) so I peeled back the sticky sheet and decided to burnish the midnight snow through the background... It didnt work ! I had more stuck to me (and the table and the card surrounding and the carpet and my face) ! It didnt cover through the background like the iced snow does, I (and my work space was covered) oh what a mess, and had to start all over again, I think the only way to pick up the little black speckles on my cream carpet is with strips of cellotape ! What a whoopsie you tube that would have made LOL (who needs jet lag when you have a dumb brain like mine) LOL.
So im shackled to my chair again today... 3 cards made 4 more to do with a few more male cards, whoopiedo : )
So I will thank you for the most beautiful card and wish you all good luck for Saturday.
I have many loving warm hugs to hand out to anyone that needs one today so please help yourself.
Have a eonderful day.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes - I love this technique and it really does give a card the wow factor. I have been lucky enough in the past to win one of your Wednesday giveaways and it is framed and on display in my craft room, it would be nice to have another but that is being cheeky.
Have a great day everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx
Hi Sue and everyone. Beautiful card and a great technique brings such lovely results that never fail to please. Thanks for sharing x
Wonderful card - it would be an honour to win it!
Very pretty card Sue and I just love the daisies. Will have to get this diie as you have posted several cards with these featured and they always impress. Anne x
Hi Sue. A lovely card today. Your Fire and Ice Technique is great and the Austrian background is perfect for it. Love the gilded and lacquered daisies too.
Thanks to you Sue, you don't only bring me gorgeous cards but also special friends. I had a lovely lunch yesterday with Sandra and Pat : )
Norah, missing you, and Sam Smithard too. Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care.
Hi Sue,
Such a lovely card, so blingy!!
:-)
Lorna D
Morning Sue, stunning card, love the daisies. Love Jean xxx
Good morning Sue
Stunning card, your fire and ice always look spectacular and this is no exception. I love gilding flakes and especially like the long lasting glittery effect I see all around my home for days after I have used them. LOL.
The gilded and glazed daisies drew my eye in and immediately evoked a long lost memory. My Granny had a beautiful musical jewellery box with a spinning ballerina which I loved as a child. It was made of tortoise shell and she used to let me play with it, and as soon as I saw the daisies I thought -tortoise shell-jewellery box-Granny!! Bless you Sue, you have brought sunshine to my day .
Maria hope today is not another "funny sort of day" for you. Sending you some of my sunshine.
Gorgeous card Sue - I would love to win this...
still haven't tried this technique, mainly because I can see it all going wrong and don't want to waste my precious gilding flakes and bling...but I'm going to have to take the plunge sooner or later...it's so beautiful
Izzy
Hi Sue, So beautiful. love Jean Z xxx
Morning Sue
What a beautiful way to start a winter morning. A truly regal and very elegant gift just so inkeeping with the season. I have to admit that I still have to try this technique. I have started to cut a card with this in mind and then have chickened out. I really ought to make 2015 the year I step outside of my box.
Alimecca - hope today goes well.
Sandra - Hope you had a really good fuddle yesterday.
Steph - I too just do not get on with black ice. I just cannot make it do as its sister glitters so I'm quite pleased to hear someone else has the same problem.
Norah - I'm missing you. Hope you and yours are well. Stay strong my lovely lady.
Have to finish off my small gifts for my Knit and Natter crafty friends today. This year it's a small votive candle in a Christmassy box to remember everyone this season.
Slow cooker on for tea today - am just waiting for Mr E to rise so he can cut me a piece of turnip for the pot.
To everyone feeling under the weather am hoping you all feel better soon. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Good Morning Sue & friends,
What a lovely shimmery, shiny card today Sue, you can't go wrong with gilding flakes, great idea to use them for flowers, it really finishes the card off.
I made a very similar card yesterday that was the same basic technique but I used frosty shades of blue and silver, with some flowers in the centre! That Austrian Background lends itself to so many different designs.
Cameeli, please drive carefully today, take your time, I hope your parents are well enough to enjoy spending some quality time with you, hugs xxxx
Clare W enjoy your golf today x
Sam Smithard, have you come back down to earth yet after your lively surprise win yesterday!
We had a lovely lunch out yesterday (Pat, Mrs B & I),
Arrived at twelve, didn't leave pub till 3.45 as we were chatting Way, the time just disappeared! We bad great fun though xxx
Well I am off to get sorted, I gave Pat coming to visit today, xxxx
Crafty hugs to all of you,

Hi Sue the gilding shows off the Austrian background so well. I often use it.

It's sparkle all the way on this one and I love it. This would look beautiful in my home I have an empty space waiting for one of your cards Sue, so if I'm lucky in years to come the space is ready.(LOL)

Love Val in Spain x
Glorious Gorgeous Card! How I would love to have this creation to gaze at ( as would all the other Wilsonettes ) !
The fire and ice technique has to be my favourite of all ! But I Need the big pot of iced snow as I have run out, we are going into Inverness and staying over 2 nights , as Iain has a hospital checkup ( he's better than ever now ) and we will do our Christmas food shop and there will be time to visit the Craft shop ,fingers crossed they have some iced snow.
You made me laugh Myra at the picture of us riding the range over the golf course, nothing so dramatic just the name of a variation of the game ( a fun game) our team won and we got hand warmers as prizes , then we went for lunch and ate so much etc. we couldn't move but it was delicious and I got home just before 5 pm so never got anything else done! Wishing everyone a happy day!
Love and Hugs to all xo
Hi Sue beautiful card and it would be an honour to own it,so fingers crossed.
Marion H
How I would love to own this one! Stunning

Hi Sue
I have been ill so have been unable to leave many comments. Now slowly getting back into harness and catching up with all your stunning designs. This one is really lovely and I watched your video last night using the sparkle paste - I will be be using that as an inspiration for a birthday card over the Christmas break.
Thanks for your continuing inspiration.

Love the fire and ice technique Sue. Those flowers look stunning:) Annie P xx
Morning Sue, stunning card, lovely technique, but I haven't tried it yet!
Went to put Christmas tree up yesterday, and could not find it, looked everywhere and came to the conclusion that it was put out last year after Chrsitmas as it was broken, so off we went to buy another tree and got a bargain, a pre-lit tree for half price as it was the only one left and was on display!
Have a good day everyone, take care, Jess x
Hello Sue

Hi Sue,
a stunner of a card. You sure had a brainwave when you designed the Austrian dies - they are simply beautiful. And as for the fire and ice technique - ALWAYS A WINNER.
Hope you've got over jetlag (do you even have time to get over it, I ask myself). And also hope that you're enjoying the run up to Xmas.
Hugs, Rose
Good morning Sue, and all the crafty crew!!
Yes just my sort of card just bearutiful and and the most perfect of sentiments too, we would all pick you Sue!!
Just to say I may not be on line now for the next 5 days or so as I am off on my annual Santa dash to family in the North.
So I hope everyone on the blog has the best "Christmas" ever, and 2015 brings Peace, Love, Joy and of course a little magic...
In another three weeks I will be a Grandma !!

Lovely card Sue. The gold makes it look really elegant.
Have just finished my Christmas cards for my craft group. I made some at a workshop but now can't find envelopes large enough - wish the organisers would think of this when putting them together.
Had a wonderful time last weekend in Rainham, Kent. Went to see baby Leo and his Mummies. Had lots of cuddles.
He's a real charmer - over 12 lbs now
and he smiles a lot.
Love and hugs to everyone - especially to Pam from Leo. xxx

Sam Smithard, hope you're ok, missing you x
Norah, hugs to you and your kids, missing you x
Hugs to all our missing friends x
Steph, your crafty challenges do make me smile. The only way I can tame any of the stuff is to pop my project in a tub I've given the antistatic treatment (old ice cream tubs, lunch boxes etc) so one edge rests on the lip an pop a bit of flake/ ice/ glitter on at a time. I still get it on the table/ me/ Billy if he chooses the wrong minute to see what I'm doing but not in big amounts. I managed one ice card and one microbead card this year and they will go to special people in my life. I hope once you tamed it the effect was what you wanted. Good luck with your next sale.
Having a bed day on the sofa as my body is utterly exhausted and very sore. Billy joined me and is taking more than his fair share of the space. He has his head on a cushion and his 4 paws all crossed together in front of him, he looks the picture of contentment bless him.
Hugs to everyone, especially if you are ill, having treatment, in recovery or any sort of pain.

Hi Sue
Another stunning card today. Really must attempt your fire and ice technique. Love the flowers as well. I had bought the daisy petals and then decided I must have the open ones as well. Had a lovely lunch with Sandra and Mrs B with my gorgeous friens who I met on your blog Sue. So thank you very much. We do have so much fun every week.
Hello Sue, Ooooh I'm so late today. This card is exquisite, so lush, fire and ice is my favourite technique, the daisies are scrummy.
Maria A glad that you are having a better day, gentle hugs.
Cameeli safe journey, have some wonderful family time, not long now for the special arrival.
Meg good news about Leo, he is a little trooper.
Anne C hope that Iain's check up goes well.

Hi Sue, here I am, chasing my tail again. One of these days I will get to go to bed the same day that I get up!
I love this card, it reminds me of the one we made in Aberdeen which I look at every day if only to tell myself "see, you can do it if you try"'. I also love the way you have glazed the flowers with glossy accents. Every Santa I have sent out has glazed boots and all the bears have shiny noses :-)

Love those daisies! Someone will be lucky to win this card, Susan x
Beautiful card, Sue, in Autumnal colours.
Must remember to pack some of my dies in the morning, as jetting off tomorrow.
