Hello crafters! Another technique sort of background on today's card. Start by embossing a piece of
wax paper in the
Bed of Roses embossing folder. Next, you need to place the embossed wax paper between a couple of pieces of
white gloss card. It has to be gloss for the best results and the glossy sides need to be touching the wax paper. Next iron the card for a few minutes which will melt the embossed pattern from the wax paper onto the gloss card. Usually there is one side that will come out a bit better than the other, but they can both be used for further projects. Ink over the card when it cools and watch the pattern appear. I thought it would be interesting to take it a step further so I covered it with a piece of
sticky adhesive sheet after I dried the ink thoroughly. Then I
micro beaded it for additional texture. I cut a multi- layered frame using both sets of the
Double Pierced Rectangle Noble dies and adhered it over the background. I made a pretty flower from the
Perfect Peony set and inked the edges to match the background using
Decadent Denim Colour Cloud ink. I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the
Pierced Flags, then seated the flower on the end and embellished it with leaves and two
Splendid Swirls cut out of
milk card. I added two glittered butterflies cut from the
Delicate Garden Frame die set. I completed the card with my usual pierced mat, a blue mat and a final milk coloured mat. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue,
This is a fabulous technique, can't think why I still haven't tried it, I've got the wax paper, the encaustic iron, gloss card and still haven't got around to it yet...love the layer of micro beads over the top and yes, I've got those too...lol
Ladies, feel my pain - I've just been "volunteered" by my husband to make two Golden Wedding cards for a friend of his!...to be done by Friday night...eek!!!!
Hope I can come with something suitable by then, wish me luck...lol
Izzy
Beautiful card Sue.
Hello Sue and all
beautiful card, loved this technique when I saw it online without the beads, it sent me searching for the sea garden EF at the time (which I now have, love it). Now I am so glad I have the roses EF because it looks gorgeous with that too and the micro beads. The frames look fabulous and of course your flower.
Friday before I can craft again but I may be able to find the iron by then lol !!!

Lovely card Sue. :)
Patxxx
Hi Sue.
What a fabulous addition and idea added to an already beautiful background, your idea's are just beyond me I have to say, what 'goes off' in that artistic mind of your's that makes you think - I know, I've made this background with gloss card, folder and wax paper, heated it and inked it now I'll see what micro beads look like added to the top - how do you get to see this in your minds eye Sue ? It's incredible I have to say. I've had the card for year's since I first saw this technique, always have wax paper so I have to try it (I've said that so many times now) !!
I really must get another set of your pierced square frame dies as I just love the look you achieve and it's impossible for me to get the desired effect with just the one set which is such a shame, I've played and played but they just don't overlap enough to make a nice neat frame like onto days stunning card (unless I'm doing something very wrong) !
I think this week I need to have a play with the two recent newish backgrounds, this plus the tissue paper that I still need to watch !
Weather looks so deceptive, the sun looks so inviting but the frozen Icey sparkles bouncing off the paths make it another day of hibernation.
So I'll watch the tissue video and send my love and thoughts your way Sue.
Lancashire Steph xxx
Morning Sue, gorgeous card, love this technique, and the frame.

Morning sue and crafters
Beautiful card. My flowers never turn out as good as urs guess I just need to get my finger out and practise. Lol. I've got micro beads somewhere again like certain dies not used them!
I can hear u shouting at me from here sue!!! Why ever not??? Lol. Just lazy and scared I guess.
Well ladies. Just an update this round of chemo side effects not just as bad due to dosage being reduced but the tiredness is murder. I just keep falling asleep. Which isn't a bad thing I guess cause body needs it but on the hunger front I feel as tho I can eat all the time!!!
Love to all xx
Beautiful card, great technique which i have never tried.
To My Very Special Dearest Friend Sue,
Well Sue What A "Truly Beautiful Outstanding Card", I Love
This Technique Which Was Shown On A Video If (I'm Correct) I Think
"The Bed Of Roses" Embossing Folder Looks Truly Exquisite And Using The
Colour Has Really Brought Out The Awesome Roses.
Then Adding Another Favourites Of Mine "The Micro Beads"...... The Photograph Shows
Them So Well, Just Beautiful.
I Love The Multi-Layered Frames And Use Them Quite A Lot, Yours Look Stunning.
I Love "The Fabulous Peony Flower", And A Huge Favourite Of Mine "The Pierced Flag"
And You Know Why Lol!!!
Beautiful Butterflies, And Those Truly Splendid Swirls.
A Truly Tremendous Awesome Card Thank You So Very Much For Sharing

Another beautiful card Sue. I really love the flower. I have the peony dies and have tried and tried to do a flower like that, but just can't get it right somehow. :(
The card is beautiful and the technique for the background is a new one for me.
I hope you are feeling a little stronger and can revisit all your lovely memories of your Mum.

Hi Sue, a stunning card. I love the background and thanks for explaining how you to do it. I think your bed of roses embossing folder must be your favourite as you use is so often.
Hello Sue,
I really love this one! The background looks so lovely. I'm definitely going to try it as I have the EF you used! It's one of my favourites!
Love the colours too and such a pretty flower! Thank you!
Sending you hugs. Still in my thoughts and prayer. Xxxx

Another gorgeous card and clever background technique. I have actually seen this one before but never tried it - now might be the time!
Have snow here today which I don't mind as to me that's what I expect winter to be like. Have to admit I'm not too keen if I have to drive in it though!

Hi Sue, a very pretty card and I love the way you have created the background. The frame and flower just set it off perfectly. I have all the ingredients so I have no excuse not to try this technique, just maybe lack the courage lol.
Tracy - glad this round has been easier on you and at least you have a good excuse for falling asleep during the day :-)

Good morning/afternoon Sue and your amazing Wilsonettes. This card is just gorgeous and I'm very excited to try this technique. Going to my craft room now to see if I have any glossy card left...I've not, off to the store I go!
Have a beautiful day everyone!
Hugs to all!!!
Hi, Sue,
Happy Monday everyone. Would you believe that the sun is actually shining in my neck of the woods and for the first time in what seems like years, there's no wind, rain or hail!
Sue, I'm aching to try out this technique...my iron is looking down on me from the top of the freezer thinking to itself that it may finally come out of the box and get used lol. I do love the extra mile you went to add the micro beads, what a lovely effect that makes.
I'm off to sort through my embossing folder (won't take long as I don't have too many) and see which I can experiment with.

Good afternoon lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What an absolutely stunning card, I love everything about it, particularly the technique used for the background- I saw you demo this on Hochanda I think and found it fascinating, my only query being can a normal iron be used or does it have to be a specialist craft iron? It seems fantastical that you can transfer a design from wax paper onto card so easily. The inclusion of micro beads adds texture and dimension, superb! Much like Tracy, I have un unused container of micro beads that are begging to be loved and opened:-)
What did we ever do without the Noble range? Life before was certainly a lot more laborious and challenging that's for sure, they provide an altogether crisper and more professional finish to a card. You are surely the best at creating paper flowers, I bow to your superiority:-)
It's a gorgeous sunny day in Stirling which raises even the gloomiest spirit:-) I am toying with the idea of venturing into my craftroom again for the first time since before Christmas- I have lost my mojo and enthusiasm lately and I know that the best way to boost your mood is to create. It provides a great distraction and under the circumstances I need one. I wonder if Sue has found solace in her crafting since her Mums death? Everyone has different coping mechanisms, there is no right or wrong I guess.....
Brodie and Darceys diet is proving a challenge because it's so hard to keep track of who's eating what- Darcey is in the habit of persistently asking for packet feeds to be opened only to give a cursory lick and then reject it:-( she's only 5 kgs which isn't much above her healthy weight of 4.5kgs and she doesn't overeat it's more a case of she doesn't get the same exercise that she once had before we moved to a built up area....maybe I should get a cross trainer or personal fitness coach to put them through their paces:-)
Izzy, what a challenge, I don't envy you, there's so much pressure to create a masterpiece when a special occasion is involved, good luckxxx
Tracy, I'm so glad that tiredness is your only obstacle, many of us would love to have a valid reason to sleep with impunity but it must get annoying when it takes over your day to day plans and lifestyle. I'm sure your bear it with your usual strength and fortitude, you're a real fighter!xxx
Wheely, hope you're having a better day today and winning the battle against the migrainesxxxx
Crafty hugs to Beth, deb c, Maria, Rebecca, Jan, Lorraine, Linda, Theresa, Saba, melody and Pam plus special cuddles to my buddy Yvonne who may be suffering from her excesses on Saturday night....either that or her absence can be explained by an arrest for breach of the peace and crimes against fashion!:-)

Hi Sue,
Beautiful, elegant, card. Tried the wax paper technique for the first time on my Christmas tags and loved the effect, I will try adding micro beads next time.
Regards
Dorianne
Wow that is another gorgeous background and card.
I love playing with the microbeads.
I am definitely going to have to try this, I have all the bits so there is nothing to stop me lol
So much work has gone into what appears to be a simple, but beautiful card. Like others I don't understand how you come up with your wonderful ideas but I am thankful that you do and are happy to share them. You must be finding things very tough at the moment so please know my thoughts are with you and I hope you find solace in happy memories.
Obviously I wish the same for my dear namesake. Hopefully the craft room may also help.
I have been to the cinema to watch Deadpool. I needed cheering up as my daughter has said she cannot come home for a few days as her brother's behaviour upset her so much she was having panic attacks and was unable to sleep before work. I really miss her when she's not around.
I made a card in aqua and white using Sue dies, I also used mica powder and sticky sheet. It was great fun but took me so long because sitting at the table gets very uncomfortable quite quickly.
Wishing good things to all xxx
Beautiful card! I love the colours. For some reason the piercing really stands out beautifully.
Beautiful card, Sue. The background is so striking and I love the butterflies. Another winning combination.

Another brilliant card and technique Sue. Love the colour and the flower. Funny I was using micro beads this morning on the leaves of a Thistle. I Had put paste through a stencil and thought the beads would give it a different look. Quite nice.
thank you Sue,hope you are having some good days now.

Hope your keeping well

Oh my word, what a beautiful card. Micro beads - I believe it has been a while since micro beads made an appearance or am I mistaken? I do love the way they add that special something to the finished card. This card is no exception and is an exquisite example of your genius which we are so lucky to be able to share.
Big hugs Sue - I am thinking of you x
Ok, so I had a day of rest yesterday. Being an Ooompah Loompah was hard work. The party on Saturday evening was a huge success and a fabulous time was had by all - especially the Birthday Boy so mission accomplished. I have to say 'Fat Pat' was the star of the show and caused much jubilation, as did my efforts of a luminous orange face and bright green hair. Quite a few friends did not recognise me. It was comical watching everybody in their costumes having serious conversations - surreal. Jake left a trail of red feathers from his molting boa and was highly entertaining when his g string snapped and he spent a good few moments trying to contend with the logistics of ladies underwear. He developed a very feminine and rather becoming gentle flick of his wig. His blue eyeliner, coral blusher and red lipstick looked stunning and like any normal, out on a Saturday evening, good time girl, he reapplied the lipstick at regular intervals over the course of the evening. I do not think I have laughed so much for a long time - it was just what the doctor ordered. Trying to remove the orange face paint when we got home was not so funny.
Consequently, the fatigue decided to pay me a visit and render me incapable of anything at all yesterday but you know what - sometimes one must push the boundaries and suffer the consequences. What a good job parties are not a regular event - that would be a disaster!!

What a lovely card. Good to see the microbeads at work again!
Beautiful card and awesome techniques. I need to try this wax paper trick.
Fabulous card. Thanks for reminding us of this great way to use wax paper (your dies cut so well I don't need to use it otherwise now) and your idea to use microbeads too is one I'd never have thought of.
Take care everyone.
Beautiful card Sue. Thank you
