Hi bloggers! Today's card was a bit of fun for me. It was a first for me for a few things too. It was the very first time I used the new
Sublime Swirls 3D embossing folder. I embossed it out of
Slate Grey card, then used
Silver Dreams Gilding Polish across the top of it. It was also a first for the flowers. These flowers are made from
Lightweight air dry clay! The larger one was made by Katherine Sturrock while we were at the trade show in Feb. She showed me how to do it, then I made the smaller rose using a bit more of the same colour clay! Aren't they lovely! I loved the pale peach colour with the slate grey card too! I seated the flowers with some
Oak Swags cut in white and I cut a
Family Tree die and then used the tree cut into pieces as accents too. Next I cut the sentiment out of peach card and glued it into place in the opposite corner from the flowers. White peach and slate grey mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Wow Sue you are certainly branching out! What a lovely card and the flowers are stunning. The embossing folder gives a brilliant effect
Hi sue,
Saw katherine sturrock on hochanda yesterday and she said she was using yr dies, she loved them and they were lovely.
Also loving the card and the flowers, something tells me I'm going to have to have a go, they look so real!

Morning Sue, what a fabulous card, love the colour combo, not one you think would work well together but it does. Love the flowers especially in the soft peachy colour, I so want to have a go with the air dry clay and the flower dies, it will just have to wait a while. Kathryn is really creative. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Hello Sue and all
Really lovely card, I agree that they are not colours that you would naturally put together but they work so well and the flowers are gorgeous. I will have to look for Kathryn on Hochanda replay but think that some of your flowers would look fabulous too.
Hugs

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, love the idea of the flowers on this one, would like to see more of this - are you going to introduce it or is it a one off.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Gorgeous, great that the flowers were a joint effort. They look great.fab background.
Lovely card today! Those flowers are just gorgeous, you should definitely do a video on how to make those. Debra x
Whoa, peach and gray look fabulous together! And those flowers are lovely. Yours is better, I think.
You just can't beat those 3D embossing folders, can you?
Thank you for this eye treat.
Best to all,

Hello Sue
I had to look at this card for a few moments because I wasn't sure but it is growing on me. I hope in the future you show us how to achieve those beautiful roses
Beautiful card Sue. The colours really compliment each other. Live the flowers, they look real.

Hi Sue,
What a stunning card - I love the slate grey with peach, it's one of my favourite colour pairings (and it works beautifully with lemon or pink too)and the deep embossing provides the perfect backdrop to those gorgeous roses and frou-frou trails of foliage - all-in-all a top notch card!
I must check my air dry clay, it's been ages since I played with it, hope it hasn't dried out...
Izzy
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes

A beautiful card,the colours work really well together and the flowers are stunning. Not sure my crafty space isn't enough for another type of craft but would like to have a go at making the flowers.
Thanks for sharing,

Stunning card, love the colours, the flowers are amazing
Lovely card and I love this unusual colour combination
I used to sugar craft back In the 1980’s and made flowers using fondant icing
Good morning Sue this is a stunning card I love the colours you have used and the flowers are so pretty. Have a great day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Morning Sue beautiful sample. The background is gorgeous and highlights everything so well. How strange you should mention air dry clay and flowers. I have a few moulds and the little flowers that you can make are absolutely gorgeous so I tried using your dies thinking how fabulous it would be to use clay not only cardstock but I couldn't get the result I hoped for so any tips how to use your dies with the clay would be SO appreciated thank you. Have a lovely day whatever you're up to xxx
Hi sue beautiful results the card is stunning the dark embossing and the flower brill
Thank you
Love always June Horrocks xxxx
Hi Sue, this card is beautiful , I love Kathryn's demos , I have the clay and dies but I haven't done it yet. love Jean Z xxx
Hello Sue, well peach and grey certainly go well together as you show in your lovely card. The clay flowers are great too. I enjoy using clay and watching Katherine and so glad you have used them too. Xx
Good Morning Sue and all
WOW wha a stunning card this morning. The 3D Embossing folder is stunning and the colour. The grey works beautifully with colours of the flowers, Katherine is so talented. You made a great team for this card.
Crafty hugs and well wishes to all..... Wendy
Good morning Sue and Happy 4th. July.
A beautiful card Sue and as others have said before me , the flowers are gorgeous. I almost bought the clay and a mold the other day when they were shown on Hochanda but my PC went off as I had my finger on the button.
I had a packet of air dry clay but it has been around so long it was as hard as a brick.
I really shouldn't start yet another hobby as my craft room is getting too full to move.
I do hope you will do a video for us sometime for the roses.

Good Morning Sue. I wish I had seen this card before. It was our 51st anniversary last week and I struggle with anniversary cards for him. This would have been ideal. Absolutely beautiful. I love every thing about it. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Vow Sue, your card is stunning and you can almost smell those flowers too. They look so realistic....Love Rosie from Chorley..xx

Hi Sue, happy 4th July to you and all our American friends. Just beautiful is all I want to say about this card, I love it. The colours are ones I use quite a lot and just like Izzy I find that lemon & pink go well also. I would love to try the clay flowers but as I have to post most of my cards I would hate to think of my hard work getting squashed by the sorting machines and I don't think I dare to introduce another craft or we would have to move house!
Hope everyone has a lovely day.

Lovely card design. Lovely embossing folder leaving a deep emboss. I have not seen anything made with lightweight air dry clay before now. Your roses are lovely. Clasic gray, peach and white are always a delightful color combination. Happy 4th of July!
Wow! Such a luxurious looking card. Gorgeous. Got my 'Prize die' in the post this morning. Thank you so much. It's smaller than I thought so is ABSOLUTELY beyond ideal as this year my cards are all going to be smaller ones. Can't wait to get started. Thanks Sue xx

Love everything about this card - beautiful colour combo and the composition is fab. A great wedding, engagement, congrats type card. Just gorgeous
Gorgeous card and I think paper flowers could be substituted for the clay. The colors make this card. I love gray as a neutral. I also love the flourishes. I am cutting oak swags this afternoon for a project. I have the EF but have only used with mirror card to date....thank you for the inspiration.
Happy Fourth to all who it applies,

Hi Sue, Happy 4th of July.
Love this card and although it is not quite your usual style I have not doubt it is one of yours by the matting and layering and the piercing. Love the flowers. I know these were being demoed at Ally Pally but I never got to see them unfortunately.
