Hello Sue and all
An amazing card, the gilding flakes make it look so rich and the combination of dies is lovely. I only have the Ava die out of these but you have inspired me to try something like this with the frames and tags dies that I have.
Hugs

This is so very interesting! With all the elaborate shapes, and the cutting and stamping and gilding flake sticking and scrubbing, what catches the eye is the torn and curled paper!
Thank you for shaking us up!
Best to all,
Donita in R.I.
Morning Sue.
Wow this is a very unusual card so very different.
Thank you a brilliant card, I would love to see it in real life.
Take care and have fun Kitty.

Hello Sue,
A beautiful card, so different with the layers of torn card. Love to see examples of your STDF and the different ways they can be used

Morning Sue. Thanks you for sharing this beautiful sample. The dies you've put together and the choice of guilding flakes show how detailed and beautiful the stamps is. Your daily inspiration is so valuable thanks you xxx
Beautiful card. Love the two different effects you have done with the gilding flakes.
A grungy centre which I love but think I would have preferred the background to be darker as the contrast for me is too much. Great work though regardless. Xxx
A very smart card Sue. Gilding flakes make such a statement. Thank you, have a good day.xxx
gorgeous Sue the gilding flakes looks fab
Gr Karin
Great card today.

Morning Sue,
Not sure about this one, I think it's the curled edges, not a fan myself.
Sorry

Good Morning Sue. What at a lovely card this morning Sue. It has the elegantly shabby look to it ..... which I love
And those gorgeous rich colours of the flakes are beautiful I will try this later. Thankyou Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

Hi Sue
Interesting techniques, but not for me.

Morning Sue, a very different card today. Love Jean xxx
Good morning Sue lovely card the gilding flakes look fabulous I really like the torn edges on the layered card
Love the dies used and the gilding flakes but... sorry this is not for me.
hugs MERRY BERRY 2 xxx
Like some of the others, I'm no too keen
on the curly edges, just doesn't look quite
right somehow, can't put my finger on what is
wrong,
Doreen x
Really lovely card sue I love this die very pretty thank you sue
Love June horrocks xxxxx
It is a shame that the gorgeous colours of this gilding flake (which is my favourite alongside a discontinued one) is not shown to its best in any photo. I am sure that seeing the real card would capture anyone’s heart.
Teresa
I love the way you’ve done the background and stacked the dies. Brilliant card. X
Oh Sue this is a stunning card I love it. Those dies are gorgeous. I enjoyed the video yesterday. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes.
A very different card today Sue. I think it takes me a little bit out of my comfort zone, but perhaps that's a good thing in our crafty world.
Thank you for the wake-up.
Marie P.
Hi Sue. I love this card - of course I do because you have used the wonderful Ava die! I do admire your card with distressed edges, it looks so arty.
Lisbeth
Hi Sue, not my style but still lovely . love Jean Z xxxx
Hello Sue, a beautiful card, it has a very vintage and aged feel with the gilding flakes on black and the torn card. Different but I like it. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Hi Sue,
that´s a gorgeous card.
Love the gilding flakes and even the torn edges look elegant on your card.

Hi Sue
Love the stamped and gilded focal area and not sure that the torn and curled edges don’t detract from that but that’s just me liking everything neat and tidy
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Morning Sue, love the torn edge effect. I tried this once but I think that my card was too thick because instead of looking 'aged', it looked just like a ripped and 'scruffy' piece which went in the bin.
Gilding flakes are so pretty. Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.
Hi SUE
I love the way all these dies have all come together fantastically the torn and curled effect is a brilliant idea
OWLISH Xx
Hi Sue good morning
Yeh I’m not playing catch up. Lol
Today’s offering is again a delight to the eyes 👀
The torn effect is so different for you are you experiencing the hidden grunge inside lol
It is a beautiful example of your talent
Have a lovely day Sue
Best wishes and hugs 🤗
Theresa Gxx
Doesn’t do it for me, sorry. Maybe it would look nicer ‘in the flesh’
Doreen R
Hi Sue, a lovely card. For me I am not sure the torn edges compliment the beautiful centre piece.
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x

Hi sue lovely card, love the torn look. X
Hi Sue
Nice card, love the Ava die it always looks. So pretty. Nice to see thebstamps tomdie for used.
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue, I love both the dies and the STDF that you have used so I'm sorry that the card itself does nothing for me, not sure why and I would probably change my mind if I saw it for real.
Frances
Love these dies but not the torn look, just not for me

A totally different look.
Different and interesting, I agree. Still not sure about these curled edges, they don't work well with the elegance of Phoebe and Ava in my opinion.
Hugs from Toronto
Carmen-Dorothy
This card just doesn't strike me right. I think its because the focal is so dark and then all the white. I don't mind any of the components on their own.I must agree with Kate.A darker, more shabby chic background would have pleased me more with the focal die.
You make so many gorgeous cards and I very rarely don't go crazy for them, just not this one.

Hi Sue, I love the Ave, Caroline and Phoebe dies they work so well together and reall compliment each other, I’m just not sure about the dark center of this card, Lovely as it is - it just doesn’t work for me. Hugs Brenda xxx
Not my cup of tea, the torn edges are all wrong, they take away from the gilding
I like this but the thought of glitand flake glue with gilding flakes makes me shiver They don’t play nicely together for me

Di Di from broadstairs Kent
I'm siding with the minority today again - not keen on the whole effect. I appreciate the individual elements and the skill and effort involved though :)
A very opulent centre to this card, also like the white curled paper effect. Thank you Sue..
Hi Sue, I bet this card is wonderful in real life, it Is gorgeous, like everything about it
