Hello my crafty friends! I had a request for this card so I thought I would make it a giveaway as well. I started by stamping the
Heart of Blossoms stamp using a
clear Perfect Medium pad all over a piece of vintage gold card. I heat embossed the image with
gold detail embossing powder. Next I cut the background into strips and mounted foam on the back of each piece and reassembled them on to a piece of white card with a small gap between them. I cut a multi-layered frame for my background using the
Double Pierced Rectangles Set B. One out of white card and a smaller gold frame as an inset piece. I added mounting foam and adhered it over my background. I stamped the
Heart of Blossom stamp again and gold embossed it. I coloured it with
Distress Markers, then cut it out with the matching heart die. I added a gold paint pen edge to it, then glued clear micro beads into the flowers centres. I stamped my sentiment and cut out each word on a
Pierced Flag die, adding a slightly larger gold flag mat. I seated the flower with the sentiments forked outward from the side. Finally, I added a white pierced mat, a gold mat and another white mat to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 8" x
8 3/4" in size. If you would like to be entered into the drawing at a chance at winning this card,just leave a comment and check Saturday's blog post for the winner's name. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteLovely rich card again today, the gold embossing on the flowers is a stand out.
In case you missed the message yesterday Debra, there is a video in series 1- 6th February 2014 called Dazzling Doily in which Sue demonstrates the messy bow and waxed embossing.
Keep warm, we are in a heat wave here but again waiting for storms

Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love this card it's very pretty. I love the technique you used for the background as well.
I've just seen the video clip of John, Phil, and Julia taking over Hochanda, it is funny.

Thanks for sharing this card with us

ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous card and I would love to give it a home. The golden background shows off the colours in the heart perfectly. Best wishes, Anne O
Love how you have created the background, Sue, and always like a noble frame. Must try the inner layer too. Colouring not my forte and so always envy your skill, and the little extra touch of the microbeads is perfect.
ReplyDeleteHugs to all who need them.

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteI really loved this card when I watched you on Hochanda and am really pleased you have featured it today. The detail in the stamp is beautiful and your embossing, colouring and extra detail show it off so well. Stamping was my first introduction to Card making all those years ago but I must admit I do not do too much these day, mainly for the greeting!
How great it would be to win this card!!
Lesley S x
A lovely card. I like the method of producing the background. The stamping is great. I assume one could colour the flowers using a brush and the Tim Holtz inkpads in lieu of the pens or use watercolour pencils and get a similar beautiful effect. Thank you.

To My Very Special Friend Sue,
ReplyDeleteToday's Card Is "Truly Tremendous" I Watched You Make This Card
When You Were On Television The Background You Created Looks Stunning
I Loved The Stamp Which You Used And Using It With Gold Embossing Powder
On The Gold Card Just Looked Outstanding.
I Love The Heart Die And Stamp That You Used And The Way You Coloured It
Using The Distress Pens From Tim Holtz I've Been Debating Whether To Purchase
Some Of These Pens We'll See!!!!!!!!
Like Many Of Your Wonderful Wilsonettes I've Seen The Fabulously Funny Clip
Of Phill, Julia, & John At Hochanda, I Thought Lisa Would Be On Also Doing The MDF As I Find
The Demos Very Interesting.
Sue Thank You So Very Much For Sharing This Tremendous Card,

You Inspire Me Daily.

ReplyDeleteCarole eaton
Hi, Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card! It's surprising how something as simple as cutting the background into strips can make such a difference to the look of the finished card. I love all the gold embossing as well, it adds a touch of class :)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card even though it's very different to your usual style and I am not keen on hearts either. Also how did I miss seeing it demonstrated?
ReplyDeleteFeeling at a loose end today, managed some washing up but so much more needs doing.
Happy crafting to one and all.

Love the design and style of this card but not to keen on the colours you have used. Still I have just bought this stamp so will give it a go in different colours.
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I am in love!!! This is such a different card than I am used to seeing from you but I am really digging it!! LOVE the gold embossing, the kraft cardstock and the coloring is delightful!
ReplyDeleteI think this card needs to come to Vermont USA and be put on my Wall of Honor because there is a spot just waiting for it! The last two weeks have been really sucky and my soul could use a pick me up!! Thanks for the chance to own a Sue Wilson original! Have a great day!

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI too remember seeing the demo of this card, absolutely love the double pierced dies
Marlene O.xx
This is gorgeous and I love the way you have used the stamp as the background and also the focal element too.
ReplyDeleteIt gives it such a different look.
I love the colouring you have done and must add this stamp to my list as it is gorgeous.
Sadly my raspberry grand calibur fell apart yesterday and I have no way of being able to replace it for a few months
so sadly I can't use any of my dies or embosding folders. : - (
But I will still look forward to seeing your wonderful cards and have seen a preview of the new dies and they are gorgeous and there are a few I love so my machine breaking is upsetting me even more lol.
This is one scrummy card. I just love it. I have all the elements so I can play! Great. Thanks Sue and best wishes to all. Jxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteI sooooo want this card!!! Ive had to get one of the nurses to put my comment in because I can't quite see properly yet!
She said she would do it for me if I promised to be a better patient - don't know how well that will go but I will try.
Regardless of my moaning this is probably my very favourite card of all time! (along with about a 100 other) but this one is really my number one right now!!
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteA really lovely card! I like the heart die with the floral stamp - it's lovely!

Hello Sue, I have never used micro beads but like the idea for flower centres. Also like the stamp colours and vintage look very much. Best regards Paulz.
ReplyDeleteGood evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteYou are such an expert at stamping and colouring, and it is always such a treat to see you exercising this skill for our benefit. I'm not atall surprised that this card has been requested, it's stunning- I'm afraid that I still have two shows from Hochanda still to watch and I'm guessing that this card features in one of them so I'd better get my skates on and watch them...I've been spending an embarrassing amount of time watching Big Brother and the soaps so I only have myself to blame, I need to prioritise particularly with the mega weekend almost upon us.
I've had a busy day, went to the hospital for another surgical procedure on my skin cancer. I was slightly nervous after my last experience and was tempted not to have the operation but common sense prevailed....and it seemed rude to deny my consultant the opportunity to teach his two students, particularly when he was suited and booted for the job at hand:-) Fingers crossed I'll be luckier this time...I promised not to have a bath for 48 hrs this time just in case it causes another infection:-(
I had a sneaky peek at the new release Sue and I must say they are amazing! It's so exciting! I'm hoping that they will be featured in your shows next month because my cash drought will be officially a thing of the past by then, I can't wait! I won't spoil it for anyone else but there are a few welcome returns as well as some new concepts:-)
Molly, I was so pleased to hear from you, you have no idea just how worried we have all been about you, your gran and grandad. I'm sorry to hear that your gran has been so sick, she's a tough lady though and I'm not surprised she's fought back so bravely, give her my love and well wishes for a speedy recovery and a return home to granddadxxx
What an upheaval for you all having to move out of your home, you poor souls:-( I hope the council can find you a nice home soon so that you can all be together again as a family. You've had to be so brave sweetie, you should be proud of yourself! Hugs to you all, especially granddadxxx
Linda and Wheely bad, sorry to hear that you've been suffering with the dreaded migraines, they can be so debilitating. Hope you both feel better soonxxx
Lorraine F, hope you're feeling chipper today too and that cold hasn't taken a grip, a hot toddy can work wonders....or a few Lemsips?
Yvonne honey, hope you're okay and not suffering from some ailment or infection...it's a bad time of year for such things!Take care and hope to hear from you soon.
Tracy, hope you are well too and the chemo is going to plan, it's a long hard slog but you're doing just greatxxx
Love and hugs to all my buddies and absent friendsxxxx

ReplyDeleteI always love it when you go back to rubber stamping as that's when I first saw you on C&C all those years ago. You were demonstrating summers stamps with flip-flops and ladies in swimming costumes if I remember right.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWow!! I really love this card, is there no end to your talents?
Molly, I'm so sorry your Nan has been so ill I hope she's soon back with your Grandad, and your poor Grandad I really hope they can do the operation. How awful that you are all split up I hope you all get sorted with a house soon xx
Thank you Laine, I'm feeling better now. I hope your operation wasn't too bad x
Hugs
Linda xx
Wow what a pretty card!! Thanks Sue!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - absolutely adore this card. I fell in love with it when you showed it on Hochanda and was completely transfixed to the screen whilst you made it. I trust you have had a rewarding and worthwhile trip and managed to muddle through without me x
Checked my e mails for the first time in over a week today and imagine my delight and excitement when I came across more than one e mail inviting me to preview your up and coming new collection. And how beautiful are they. So dumbfounded that you have once again managed to create such an original and astoundingly unique set of pure genius so soon after the last collection. Your crafty acumen far exceeds that of anyone I can think of!! And that is why we all love you x
I feel like I have been away for forever!! Was taken over by a severe bout of fatigue with my energy levels burying themselves 6 feet under. Today has been the first day of being able to achieve a vertical position for longer than 10 minutes.
I am not going to go into details of the rather lovely event that tired me out but it is a story worth sharing but I will leave you in suspense until I am able to type for a bit longer.
Haven't caught up on everyone's news yet and what you have al been up to but am going to try and achieve this tomorrow. It will keep me out of mischief and away from the housework.
Lots of love to everyone
Crafty hugs

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely card and really like how the gold embossing on the stamped image looks. Yvonne N.
Hi, Sue and fellow Wilsonettes, hope you're all keeping well.
ReplyDeleteI saw this card on your recent show on Hochanda. Beautiful, Sue.
I bought the Heart of Hearts Die and this lovely stamp from Ben last Thursday, after seeing your demo and card samples on TV.
Congratulations PharmacyMichele on being one of the comment game winners. ( I used to be a Pharmacy Technician ).
Sorry, I've just been flitting by, not commenting the last few days.
Our older rescue dog, Sooty ( who's 14 or so ) wasn't well on Boxing Day and when we took her to the vets on Tues, Dec 29th,
( the first day they were open after Christmas ) we found out she was seriously ill, in Renal failure.
We had to take her from our local branch to the main veterinary branch where she spent the rest of the day and night having I.v fluids pushed through her.
The outlook didn't look promising, as her creatinin, urea and phosphate levels were off the scale.
We'd made the decision to bring her back home on the Wednesday, so she'd be comfortable and in familiar surroundings.
And if we needed to we'd have the vet to the house on Thurs,( New Year's Eve)
to put her to sleep.
Thankfully we'd managed to get her eating the tin of renal food we'd brought home from the vet, by hand feeding her and she was holding her own. So we decided to see how things went, until the weekend.
Sooty was continuing to eat and showing signs of improvement and on the Saturday, Ken had to drive to the main, Swansea Branch to
buy some more food for her.
So far, Sooty is still here and I'm continuing to hand feed her. She'd been eating well up until yesterday, when I had problems getting her to eat. I think she dislikes the Renal biscuits I'd introduced into her diet a few days ago mixed with the meat.
Today I have gotten her to eat three small meals so far, just the meat, so hopefully it was just a blip, and we're back on track.
Sooty can only have her Renal diet now, so it's imperative I keep her eating.
No more dog treats or milk for her ever again !!!
Her tail which was between her legs when we brought her home, has gradually risen and is now being held up.
Sooty's doing well, considering Ken and I thought we'd be seeing in the New year without her :-)
Best Wishes and hugs to you all,
