A beautiful card as usual, will try the inking technique, and looking forward to the shows today.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card, the combination of dies, pearls and colour is fabulous.
So happy, I hitched my computer up to the TV and got up at 7 and watched the Hochanda show with only a few blanks due to the broadband. I wondered how you got the darker blue ink on to the background - then watched the repeat just now and voila! saw the whole thing. All set for an evening of demonstrations on the TV. So inspirational.
Congratulations Carol, lovely prize.

Beautiful card, Sue, thanks for the video with all the special tips. Must try the letterpressing with some small dies as it looks quite easy!
ReplyDeleteGreat to have you back (after the veggie spiralizer show - H seems to be an amalgam of Ideal World and C@C quite strange) and pleased you were on with Alex. Loved the grey and yellow triptych card they showed at the beginning. Hope to see some shows today.
Seems odd to see you for the first time without the GC - you seem quite taken with the Platinum though it looked a trifle tricky under studio conditions - so many machines on the market now. My teal GC behaving very well at the moment so won't tempt fate!
Well done to Carol on the card win.

Sorry I've been absent. I am a Music teacher at a Parochial school and have preparing our students for the Christmas program, so haven't had much time to visit my favorite blogs. I love this card. The inking and the layers look fabulous. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765610955454/
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. A beautiful card that has gorgeous layers and very effective techniques, thank you for the tutorial. X

ReplyDeleteA very delicate card made with some lovely dies. Like the letter pressing technique with the rose.
ReplyDeleteUnsurprisingly, I thoroughly enjoyed last night's show and have kept it to watch again to make notes on techniques. I think I need to buy a large file to start storing all the notes I make for the CE shows. Looking forward to catching up with more goodies today.
Have a good day at Hochanda.

Hello Sue! What a lovely card. Truly. I am going to have to add the Wild Rose die to my collection. Not only is it a pretty die, but it just so happens I have Wild Rose plants in my gardens. I also live in Wild Rose, WI in the USA! Thank you for all your wonderful videos. I look forward to them every week.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteFully agree with michael thomas jeffries. It's a stunner of a card and you always inspire me. Thank you.
All today's shows are recorded, I'll only be able to watch a couple of them live. However, I always record, for those valuable tips you give. I can watch again if I forget how to do a technique for instance.
Hugs, Rose

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! Great shows too although I missed the 12 o'clock one as we were trying to get home from doing our food shopping. It took us One and half hours to drive 8 miles! Roads dreadful due to the snow. Various accidents with cars slipping and sliding. Had to make 3 detours as cars were struggling to get up banks. It was horrendous!!! AND I missed your show!
Congrats to Carol.
Love and hugs to everyone, stay safe if you're out on snowy roads or still caught in the floods, love Alison xxx
Hi Sue, Love the card, such a pretty colour. What a very clever technique used to create the flower background

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, This is gorgeous !! I am recording all your shows, can't wait.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Another one in the pretty category and just gorgeous, but I can see this in red, black and white as a stunning valentine card as well....
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteWow Sue this one is lovely, so soft yet stunning at the same time. Yes it is very feminine but how could you not fall in love with such a stunning inspiiration piece. I would love to make it but have none of the dies so it remains a lovely image to ponder upon. Hope you are being able to get some rest over this busy period Sue as you work so very hard. Thank you for bringing us a an extra video and b such a beautiful piece.
My thoughts are still so much with our friends and others that have been devasted by the recent weather and all i can hope is that you get the help that you all so desperately need to ease and bring an end to your torment and torture of seeing your homes destroyed like they have been. I send out special hugs and prayers to all that need them more than ever
love
Norah (Glenochil)
Hello Sue.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning Card, I think anyone would be pleased to receive. Very delicate and such pretty colouring. Another I will need to copy. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations Carol Worwood.
Best wishes
This is breathtakingly gorgeous!!! LOVE the embossing and the color is gorgeous! Just the right amount of color! TFS!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Show last night! Thoroughly enjoyed it and also today's at lunchtime and 4pm. Like Patricia was really pleased to get help with the plates for the Platinum. I had used the embossing one and the small GC cutting plate but was scared to try the big one! I tried to explain how to use the plates to another friend, Saba - but I don't think my explanation was very clear!! Either that or ----- ! No we won't go there!
Today's card is really pretty I have ordered that lovely rose as I thought it may be nice on boxes as well.
I love the leaves too.
Congratulations to today's winner. You have a lovely card.
Sending hugs to all , particularly those going through tough times!

Hi Sue, Fantastic Video and a really lovely card. Great to see you back and really enjoyed your shows on Hochanda, however missed some of them due to visitors, and I am unable to video them so really disappointed today, although it was lovely to see my visitors. Will try and catch your last show.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, lovely video, thanks for the reminder on different King techniques to make a very coordinating card. Not managed to catch th shows, but I'm sure they have done so well.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely wonderful card, I love the embossed roses for the background and also the rose for the focal point!!!!
ReplyDeleteA very pretty colour on your card Sue and an interesting design. Saw your demonstration this morning and the background in blue was so clever but oh my you seemed to be struggling with the machine. Could they not have put it at your right hand side and lengthways across the table? Love from Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteJust watched the video, in between show, and great ideas and live the card.
ReplyDeleteLoving the shows and tips, please don't leave if too long before the not showing after tonight.
Well done Sue and thank you. The best presenter and products on Hochanda.
Best wishes to all and Congrats to Carol. Jxxx
I so enjoyed the two Hochanda shows today that I got to watch. Good job. Love the techiques you shared with the viewers. Today's card is awesome. So dramatic with your placement of the mulitple die cuts. The embossing of the rose die and sponging color around the die is brilliant. Thanks you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card Sue.

Beautiful samples and inspirational demos. So lovely to have you back on television once more...
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I have been so busy catching up on your shows for today that I forgot to comment! Loved the shows, great demo's and lots of gorgeous samples that I look forward to seeing in detail on the blog. Good luck with your tree trimming tomorrow and I am looking forward already to seeing you again in January.
ReplyDeleteToday's card is beautiful and I love the way you have created it. I must have a go at this technique but it will have to be with a different die as I don't have the rose :(
Carol - Congratulations on being the Wednesday winner, enjoy.
Frances
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you back on tv,
Loved all the demos, you really are a very talented lady
Marlene O xx
So pretty Sue and I actually learned two new things on this video. I've heard of letterpressing many times but never knew what it meant. Also, embossing without cutting the dies and then sponging over. Beautiful technique also. Also had a question, at this size I am assuming it is not a card, correct? Be a beautiful wall hanging.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. This is a gorgeous card, very delicate and feminine. The colours are beautiful. Could see this as an anniversary or wedding card. Your shows were great and i learned a few new things. You did some beautiful cards as your demos but your sample cards were gorgeous. It was lovely to see you back on the tv and it will be great to see you back in January. Congratulations to Carol on winning Wednesdays beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone.
Best Wishes.
Denise T x
Your card is another that is so elegant. The embossing is gorgeous and all the rows of piercing add a stunning touch to the card. I definitely love this card!
