Good Sunday morning all! A card in basic black and white for today, always a favourite combo of mine. I started by cutting two of the
Portuguese Borders in white and gluing them on the sides of another piece of white card. I inked the
Lavish Accented Design Noble with Clear Perfect Medium and letterpressed it on to a piece of black card. I coated it with clear embossing powder and heated it for a shiny embossed letterpress design. I cut the
Sintra die in white and backed it with black then cut the inside to create a frame. I used the next die smaller and cut it into the
Noble design, leaving a black inner edge to show through the
Sintra frame. I used the inner die from the Sintra and cut it in white, using the smaller die to create a frame as well. I stamped my sentiment and layered all the die cuts over it so it looked like a recessed framed sentiment. I added
white flatback pearls as accents and completed the card with my usual mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size.
The winners of the weekly Comment Game are:
Sonia Stephenson!!!
Liz Spooner!!!

I made a bit of a mistake yesterday and uploaded the wrong photos! So sorry about that, here are the correct ones that should have been put up yesterday!
The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I thought you had given us two versions of the technique lol! I love the design and colours of today's card it's beautiful. To ink the die to letterpress is a brilliant idea.What a treat for us to have you on our television New Years Day what a way to start the new year? I'm off for the day to my friends for Christmas dinner, she is away for Christmas so has invited me over to have an early celebration with her.
Congratulations to all the winners!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners, well done.
Very elegant
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI treated myself to the Lavish Noble die set last month and it's paid for itself already as I've made three Christmas cards and 1 birthday card with it but further inspiration is always welcome especially as I haven't tried letterpressing with it yet...
the "corrected" card from yesterday is equally stunning...
Congratulations to the comment game winners!

Good morning Sue this is a stunning card. I just love everything you make. I have such a long wish list of dies and stamps. Have a great day. Hugs Jackie

Hi Sue - I love the way you have letterpressed the die and black and white cards are a favourite of mine. Love this card. I watched yesterdays video later in the day yesterday and hadn't realised it was a different card! We are very lucky to get an unexpected two-fer-one! Congratulations to the lucky winners today. Best wishes
ReplyDeleteYvonneMayxx
I like the black and white, it gives a crisp card.
ReplyDeleteYou keep using methods I know I need to practice........... now I need to try more successful attempts at letter pressing. I can't keep up with you. You have shown that the end results would make that practice worth while.
Congratulations to this week's lucky winners.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWell today's card is very sophisticated and beautiful, a real treat for us. Oh Sue I'm not surprised you made a carefully planned accidental post yesterday, it's such a busy time of year for all of us, bput for people who have cards to make yo blog as well as their day to day work it's more than ok for you to slip up once in a while. I think you did it as a little test to see who actually watches your video ! I know I'm guilty yesterday of not watching, it was so late when I got to comment, I've just sat down to watch it now whilst the house is quiet, I just loved the sentiment you used! My daughter has just arrived home from university after a 15 hour journey so we've had a lot of chatting and laughter, she's still asleep this morning so I will lye her rest. Have a lovely day
Love Diane G xxxx
Congratulations to all the comment winners - I can see Sonia still dancing round the room! Xxxx
Morning sue.
ReplyDeleteLove monochrome I do a lot in this colour combo u can't go wrong.
The only reason I noticed the mistake was because of the beautiful sentiment that really hit a note with me with all my stuff that I'm going thru it rang so true. But hey we all do a boo boo from time to time no issues lol
It was still good to see it in the video I just love ur videos I hope u continue them in the new year xxx
Hi Sue, I love the black and white combo always looks good. love Jean Z xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, a gorgeous card in a classic colour combination, always elegant. Love the mistake card and the correct one. Both lovely. Congrats to the comment game winners. Have a great Sunday all. Bx

Morning, Sue,
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone. Another stunning b&w study today, Sue. It's brilliant. I think the best part, for me, was the letterpress clear embossing on the black card. That is most definitely something that I want to try...that reminds me...I need to order some black cardstock lol.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend and that all Christmas preparations are either sorted or well on the way to getting sorted. I stayed at home yesterday as they were saying that it was going to be the busiest shopping day. I only need to go to town to get my pills to last me over Christmas so I don't see the point in getting crushed just for that lol.
Yesterday I made a couple of tree decorations using beads, hot glue and dead light bulbs. I was sitting at my worktop wondering why my little finger was hurting...then realised that the glue gun was dripping red hot glue onto it...ah the things we go through for our craft lol.
Congratulations to this week's comment winners. Love to everyone and HUGE gentle hugs to Melody, Francis and Molly.

Gorgeous as usual Sue. Looks very stunning but easy to complete. Which is always a plus.

ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThought there was something odd but put it down to me :-)
Anyway, the black and white card is EXQUISITE - I have to get the Nobles out again now.. And I've got the Sintra so there might be a copycat at work soon...........
The second card is lovely, too but not as striking to me.....
I'm just a white, black and red fan LOL
Hugs, Rose
Beautiful...black always adds elegance to a card.
ReplyDeleteYour pics from yesterday had a very nice sentiment...the basics were there, so we knew the process you had in mind. Lovely cards either way.
Congrats to the winners!!!

Hi Sue, a tiny bit stark for me but you can't go wrong with an elegant and classic black and white card. Love the way you have used the dies and I wish my letterpressing came out as well as yours. The sentiment is appropriate for so many of our Wilsonettes currently going through tough times.
ReplyDeleteAs Izzy said - the "corrected" card from yesterday is equally stunning... - and when I think of all that you do I am sure we forgive you for one tiny error. Your workload astonishes me.
Congratulations to all of the comment game winners, enjoy your prizes.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteOoh!! black and white, I love it. Oh I said yesterday I'd seen the card you posted on YouTube as I remember you putting a bit of sparkle on the flower on the Gemini and the lovely sentiment, but I'm not sure whether I've watched the correct card getting made so will go back and watch the video.
Congratulations to the winners x

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI do love monochrome and as I won the Sintra die in a release draw I must give this a try. Those fancy noble dies will be mine soon with any luck so this'll be pinned for future reference.
Well, well, well Sue, you are human after all! ;-) Both the card you did picture yesterday amd the 'actual' card are both gorgeous.
Tracy, I'm so pleased you don't feel quite so sick this round, I hope the tiredness hasn't interrupted your Christmas plans though. Have been thinking about you and send big hugs xxx

We've got all the gifts, now I'm wrapping in batches. Still have cards to write for family that I'll see this week. Managed 4 basic cards with kit items and some dies for special people but I'm finding a couple of hours at it a day more than enough. Town yesterday finished me off so I slept very well last night, 3 hours in total today on Christmas stuff and I fell asleep after tea at 7:30pm only to wake at 1am to a dog crossing his paws... (enough said lol) its 3am now and I'm off to put postal codes on envelopes for Mr W to post in the morning- which is what I was going to do after tea! All local thank goodness as I have left it late. I still conceed that I mislaid 4 weeks from mid November to mid December- thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
Postcodes and bed... cleaner here at 11am! Fingers crossed I'll see you all later today. Sending big hugs and happy thoughts to everyone, got plenty extra hugs if they're needed and Billy is always up for a cuddle if it's required,

Always like the dramatic look of black and white...another lovely card Congrats to all.
