Hi crafters! I love the way this card turned out but I know it won't be everyone's taste. Gold, black and milk card are the colour combo (in case it doesn't show up correctly on your monitor). Using the Stacked Diamond Striplet, I cut four of them out of vintage gold card using both pieces to the die. Next I used jut the shaped cutting edge and cut four black backing pieces and glued them all together. I added mounting foam to the backs of each of them, then glued them into a square configuration. I covered a piece of black card with a sticky adhesive sheet then coated it with Ebony Ice. I seated the striplet square over it so that it filled up the centre open area in the square. I stamped my sentiment and cut it with the Pierced Flags die. I backed it with a larger black flag and used a gold paint pen along the edges. Using the Perfect Peonies, I cut several different sizes out of black card and used the gold paint pen around the edges of each of them. I formed each of the petals and glued a black Dazzler to the centre. I seated it on some black tulle and added Maidenhair fern around it. I pierced a white mat layer, then added a thin gold and black mat before finishing with a wider white mat and pearls in the corners. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
This is a lovely card which really show your dies off. I would prefer it in other colours - but as you said it wouldn't be to everyone's taste
Pat x
Morning Sue
What a way to start the week.
As you know I'm not a lover of gifts on the darker side in colour but I do appreciate the format you have used today.
Your striplet dies are wonderful to work with and never fail to give a beautiful finish.
We have sunshine here this morning after a weekend of rain and dark skies. At the moment it is a lovely temp and so fingers crossed that it will stay at this level so I can get some crafting done.
To all in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

To My Very Dear Friend Sue,
As Pam And Others Have Mentioned Your Stunning
Cards Never Fail Us.
Well I Personally Just "Love" The Outstanding Colours
You've Used As You Know I Love To Add Black Onto My
Cards I Really Believe They Are Great Together I Love The
Black/Vintage Gold/milk Foundation Card Using These Colours
You've Created A True Masterpiece, Your Card Is Rich, Regal,
And Extremely Opulent It's Just So Very Beautiful.
I Love The Diamond Striplet Die That You've Used And How
You've Cut Bottom Layer In Black Then The Top Layer In Vintage
Gold, Then Adding The Tremendous Ebony Ice which Is So Very Stunning
Also Using The Pierced Flags Dies I Use These Dies So Very
Much I Loved It When You Designed These, I Really Love The
Tremendous Stunning Perfect Peonies It's A Beautiful Flower
Where You've Added Gold Pen Around The Edges Of The Petals
I Suppose You Could Use The Peonies Differently Cutting Main Part In
Black And The Very Edges In Gold, That Would Look Stunning Also
Sue Thank You For Sharing Your Cards With Us, Each And Every Day

Take Great Care Sue

Maybe I could try it in different colours. Thank you for your inspiration.
Take care everyone, Jess xx

I must admit I never thought that this die would look good this way, but it's gorgeous. I'll be having a play later on today I think as I have this die.
Thank you for the inspiration you give. Whenever I get stuck for ideas all I need to do is look at your and John's blogs and off I go again.
You are so talented.
Thanks again

Well I think it's a great colour combination. Lovely.
I like the colour combo, but would work equally well in a lot of different combos, Sue. Love how the striplet nestles together in the corners, so I MUST try that. I've just ordered the Maiden hair fern dies, so looking forward to those arriving! They make a change from leafy accessories.
A vey interesting colour combination which has produced an absolutely stunning card. I love it.
Morning Sue, my immediate impression was WOW a classy card! Love it loads!! Love, Ivy xx

Top of the morning to you Sue and the lovely Wilsonettes,
Long time no see! I've had a super busy weekend and with one thing and another I've been unable to comment for a couple of days.
Back with avengance though and what a stunning card to be greeted with. Okay, so the dramatic, opulent tones of the black and gold may not be to everyone's taste but I disagree, I love the rich, bold contrast. The diamond and lace striplet is a little gem and I really must get the peonies dies because I could do with an alternative to the camellias. I feel that this would be an excellent card for any men in your life, I used the midnight snow on my brothers 40th birthday card and it is simply gorgeous in real life. Even if the black card isn't to your taste, this is a design that would work just as well with softer tones....it's a winner for me Sue!
Had many appointments over the past few days, plus a visit from my niece-we went to the Milk Barn, a farm shop and ice cream parlour on the Scottish Icecream Trail and then to the Caledonian Cheesecake Company so many thousands of calories later and I can feel my waistbands tightening as we speak. I even indulged in some cheesecake for breakfast yesterday:-)Yum!
I didn't get my tarty/sophisticated? Red nail polish on Friday, I opted for the classier option of pastel purple with a shimmer and some nail art using pastel tones of mica powder...even nail technicians craft embellishments to enhance their work, no diamond snow though but some lovely craft glitter!
I had a challenging night last night with my little 'angel' Darcey who decided to stay out until 6.30am! There I was at 1.30am, in my dressing gown, trying to cajole her inside with a saucer of prawns but to no avail. I now have bags under my eyes as heavy as the luggage carousel at an airport! And she has the cheek to look as fresh as a daisy!:-(
I think I might abandon the ironing until tomorrow and have a lazy day today with some cross stitch duties-it's my Mums 71st next month and I'll be lucky to finish it before Christmas! Stitching a photo of my cats is the most challenging process I have faced, I have 50 colour changes to contend with and I am wishing that they were black and white rather than tabbys!
Beth and Debs, hope you enjoy your breaks away, you will be missedxxx
Yvonne, great to hear that you are almost back in the land of the living, your cheek and banter had been sadly missedxxx
Molly, wish your Grandad the best of luck with his tests and start of his next batch of treatmentxxx
Hope you are continuing to enjoy your break Sue, look forward to the launch of Phase 2 of the Christmas diexxxx
Love and crafty hugs,
Laine1972xxxxxxxx
A stunning card Sue! I really love it, especially the colours and I have everything needed to make it, so no excuse to go shopping today. :( Thank you for all the help and tuition you give us, I so appreciate it.

Hi Sue, Like most Wilsonettes say,"Who wouldn't love this card?" Black and gold look so rich together and I love using these colours for my male cards and thankyou ones too. I will be using your idea for running a pen around my flowers from not on, especially around Christmas poinsettias. Thanks for your inspiration Sue. Love everything about today's card. Hugs xx Pauline A
Hello Sue.

Love the gorgeous colour combo. Very rich looking card. Very nice. Thank you Sue x
Love the design but not sure about the colour combination! A very dramatic card, I usually go for pastel tones. Thanks For sharing Sue..
Hi Sue and crafty friends
just a quick comment today, beautiful beautiful cards from last couple of days Sue, yes I did mean to say it twice!!
Thank you so much to my friends for your good holiday wishes, we don't actually go till Thursday but got masses to do before then.
Special hugs for Yvonne G, glad your on the mend, Lorraine, Lynda B, Beth - enjoy your holiday, Molly and your Nan and granddad - hope everything goes well.
Will try to get online when I can ;-)
Love and blessings to you all - Deb C xx
Very stylish and regal with this gold and black number - love it.
Lorraine
Hmmm, you're right, not really my taste but I can see the appeal for some :)
I love this color combination!! Beautiful die cuts !! The flower is gorgeous!
Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes,
Although i haven't up until now seen the need for this striplet to be on my most wanted list, after todays prize it has been entered at number 3 as it is just so versatile. A opulent looking card done in the gold and black Sue which would be great for our more stylish friends that don't have as much fun in them as others that we know or even for those pesky men that have me in tatters just trying to make something up suitable for them. Please can we have a section of making these pests cards as i don't suppose i am the only one that is at a loss trying to make something suitable that doesn't involve sparkles or flowers or bows.
Molly, i have my fingers and everything that i can cross crossed for your grandad as well sweetheart and i hope that your Nan and Grandad gets the news they are hoping for. Sending lots of love, hugs and prayers their way.
Well i have my little visitor with me who i see is going to be a proper boy as his eyes just lit up upon Lightening McQueen coming on the childrens channel, his wee eyes following the cars with his wee head going from side to side. I have been writting this since 12.45 with a few interuptions like feeding changing and trying to get a certain party to sleep so i will go now, have a great day everyone with love and hugs to all my angels that need, want or could just do with one
love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue,
What a dramatic card for the start of the week! I love to colour combo and that flower is just stunning! xx
Very bold design Sue, not to my taste.
Love to all

A very elegant and sophisticated card today in the black, gold, and milk card. I like your stacked Diamond Striplet die cut. I cut some diamonds out last week for a card and found this set to be easy to cut cleanly and beautiful. I am a happy crafter when that happens! Wishing all a fantastic week.
Hi Sue, this is indeed a very dramatic card and I love the way you make your striplets work for you. I am picturing it made in chocolate or chestnut brown instead of black but can also see it in pastel colours. It's a great design and I think it is up to the individual as to which colours they prefer to use.
Frances
G O R G E O U S ! ! ! I absolutely LOVE this color combination! Very dramatic and elegant!!! Truly magnificent! TFS!
To borrow a word you have been known to use, Sue, LUSH !! Like the dark influence a lot and would have gone a step further and used black pearls. Clever use of the striplet and the flower and leaves somewhat decadent. Definitely a thumbs up from me!
Yvonne G - sounds as though you are starting to improve, back to normal soon - hopefully.
Deb C - happy holiday when it comes!
Molly, your nan is a wise lady, wait for the reviews to come through for the TODO - it's an awful lot of money just to get foil embossing as an extra, clever though it is. Hope all goes well for your granddad.
'P' in Wales
Another beautiful work of art!
As you said it might not be for everyone and the dark colours are not really for me. Think the design would be fine in another colour combination.
Hi Sue this really is a beautiful card today and I love the rich colours you have used. It took me a few minutes to register it was a striplet die, I thought you had cut out lots of squares at first glans! Thank you for sharing, this really is a beauty.
Take care love Diane G xxx
Hi Sue,
WOW! black and gold so rich and opulent, especially the gold pen round the edges of the flowers....LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

Hi Sue,
I started to do this hours ago! It's been one of those days!
I think the card is stunning - really opulent as had been said already. I don't have this striplet either but like Norah I feel it climbing up the list!
Enjoy by sitting Norah!
Molly thinking of you and Grandad and Grandma too. I've got my fingers crossed for good news too!
Sandra - Bon Voyage - you are doing well so far .
Love to all,

Very plush looking card. Perhaps not my favourite colours but maybe a different combination. I will have to experiment. Jxxx

Wow, what a spectacular card! So elegant! I am a brand-new follower! I came here from America's blog. I am sad to say I have not had the opportunity to try your dies yet so I am excited to see your beautiful creations!
Lovely design. I'm picturing this in different colours as I don't tend to use black on my cards.
I'll be back later to read the comments as I'm trying to catch up with the videos I've missed.
Take care everyone.
Hi Sue,
Love this card, beautiful dies,
Die B. xx
Hi Sue, sorry this is avert late post but been very very hectic!! Love everything about this card and have this die :-), but not had time to play with it yet. I have no excuse now that you have designed this beautiful card, thank you so much. Hope you are relaxing and enjoying your time with Mom. Hugs to all, Linda.
I love the format of this card but would prefer lighter colours for most occasions, though I know several friends who would love to receive it in these opulent colours. xxx
Absolutely LOVE the sparkle under the Gold Black and Creams combo. Wonderful layered striplet frame. Those lovely peonies touched with golden edges are stunning too! Fab
Very striking. I love everything about it! I'll have to figure out how to get my hands on that striplet die. I'm very pleased that I already have the peony & the maidenhair. I'm crazy about the color combo used and I can also see that it would be lovely in various colors. My first go at it would definitely be the black and gold tho. It just looks so rich & lush!
