Good Sunday morning all! It's a fire and ice day today! I started by cutting the
Celtic Circle Background die in black. I covered the front of the die with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I turned it over and filled in the sticky areas with
Persian Dawn Gilding Flakes. I trimmed the excess sticky sheet even with the edge of the die, then peeled off the backing paper on the front and coated it with
Iced Snow. I cut a
Pierced Flag in white and used the
Just Because sentiment cut in black and attached to a white shadow and seated it on it. I cut two of the
Petal Pocket flowers in white and added black centres with pearls. I added them to the edge of the flag with leaves and
Fern Frond accents. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x
7 1/4" in size.
Okay, here is another fun question. If you could have three famous people (from any period in time) over for dinner, who would you like to break bread with and why (you wouldn't have to do the cooking , of course! LOL) Can't wait to see your answers! All for now, Sue x

Regarding my 3 people ? well after a lot of thought ,
ReplyDeletemaybe 3 life changing devices ie the inventors ?
ie for the telephone
the tv /radio
the computer
maybe that's 4 ha x if they could all get together now it would be interesting for them to see how technology has changed over the years! x
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a lovely card.
I would pick you, Florence Nightingale and Sir Winston Churchill.
I really do not know why the other two came to mind after you.
Take care and have fun, I hope you are felling better, Kitty.
Hello Sue, a gorgeous card, love your fire and ice technique.
ReplyDeleteAfter giving a lot of thought and in no particular order, I would invite Barack Obama, Sir David Attenborough and
Princess Diana. All three I have admired for their work and perhaps over dinner we could save the planet, make it a safer place and sort out human injustice Lol. Wouldn’t that be wonderful.

Gorgeous card Sue.I love your fire and ice technique and the flowers are lovely so different. A big thank you for pulling my name out of the hat to win the gorgeous gazebo. You can't imagine how chuffed I am. Best wishes Loraine Jefferis x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Sue. Not sure about who I would invite need to think longer. xx Hazel
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA stunning and dramatic card that would make a great mantlepiece pleaser.
As for 3 dinner guests I found this tricky but feel that Prince William, Prince Harry and Princess Diana would be lovely to reunite, although I would feel that I was intruding by joining them.x
Gorgeous card Sue I love the Colours on black . I am not sure who I would invite atm, Vi xx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. I love your fire and ice technique. I keep promising myself that I will do this but never get around to it. Today's sample is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteSue...Thankyou so much for my lovely gift that arrived so quickly...yesterday morning. If I can make just one card as lovely as you do with it...I will be well happy.
There are so many famous people I would love to ask round...but the most important person of all...although not famous...would be my Mam. Just one precious hour or two would mean the world to me.
Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA stunning card.
Very hard to pick 3 people, but I finally settled on: Dolly Parton because I love her songs and how she gives books to children around the globe and has such a lovely sense of humour, Fred Astaire because I am in awe of his dancing in old films, and JRR Tolkien so I can ask him all about his books.
B xx
Hi Sue, gorgeous card this morning, love everything about it. Not sure who I would invite as I would probably feel overwhelmed and get tongue tied.
ReplyDeleteBarbara V
Good morning ladies, lovethis card and te technique, I love a lot of the combinations of people from everyone but from me it would be, my mum just because even after 27 years I still miss her so much, my grandson Daniel who we lost before I even got to meet him, and lastly my grandad because he could entertain us all with his old time songs and stories and make us laugh.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card today.
ReplyDeleteMichele
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card.
Now for three people, had to think hard for this , the first one would be my Father who I never knew he was killed in the war just after I was born. The 2nd Neil Diamond just love his music, and Karen Carpenter a lost soul.

Morning Sue, lovely card, do love the fire and ice technique. Not sure about inviting famous people to dinner, apart from yourself and Julia then we could talk about crafting! The third person would have to be my late husband Barry, I have so much I would love to tell him as he has missed so much in the 15 years that he has been gone. Love Jean xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, beautiful fire and ice today, looks amazing, your so good to us Sue with all your samples, thank you.
ReplyDeleteMy 3 dinner guests would be, Florence Nightingale, Elizabeth Fry and Queen Victoria, 3 very strong and vocal ladies who changed our Country for the better.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue, fabulous card, must try this technique. Now to dinner, in my case if would have to be four, The Beatles. Why - simply because it’s The Beatles x
ReplyDeleteAnnette x
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes

Good morning Sue fabulous card the Celtic circle background always looks beautiful & I love the petal picket flowers they are one of my favourite flower dies &one I use a lot
ReplyDeleteYour question is a difficult one there are so many people from history I would like to have for dinner there would have to be dome influential women maybe Emmeline Pankhurst Florence Nightingale Queen Victoria but also I'd like to have one of the most famous Welsh men Aneurin Bevan who initiated the NHS
Amazing!! Love the sparkling background!!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card with your beautiful background. My 3 people are not famous by my Mum, Dad & Gran which I have learnt so much from them & miss them all dearly. Yvonne xx
this is gorgeous and fab design Sue
ReplyDeleteGr Karin
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeletewhat a stunning card today. Love it.
If you asked me About three Person I would have dinner with. The first one is Tina Turner, cause she is my all time favourite singer. Meeting Jesus would be very interesting and the last one??? Don´t know now. There are a few but no one especially.
Sorry, only have two.
Rolf xxx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
Wow, this card is FABULOUS, your Fire and Ice always does it for me.
Of course, I'll invite my family, I miss my mum,sister, niece - but also my brothers who are very much current, and my adopted granny whom I adored - and then the three famous people:
Elvis, George Harrison and the Elephant whisperer Lawrence Anthony. It's a varied mix, but they'll all get on, I would think.
Hugs, Rose
Beautiful card today!
ReplyDeleteLove the background with the gilding flakes and the contrasting black and white flowers :))
Hi sue beautiful card and great dies.thanks Helen xxxxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. Sorry Sue haven't commented for a few days been really upset after the 2 ops on my hand. Winning one of your dies was fantastic thank you.
ReplyDelete3 people I would invite to dinner would be Abraham Lincoln, Aneurin Bevan and Winston Churchill. Three great men who changed the world. The next day I would invite 3 great women who changed the world.It's nice to see the sun so enjoy.
Hugs SNOOPY DOG 2 xxx
Good morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA delightful card again. I don't think I have ever seen one of your cards that I didn't like.
I cannot answer your question either as there are far more than three. I may have to hire a marquee..
Now my mind is working overtime so I'll go and have my lonely lunch. lol

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteLovely sparkly card today. I have been pondering all morning with your question I would love to be able to sit down just one more time with my mum and big brother but famous people Morecambe and Wise and Tommy Cooper made me laugh and there is not enough laughter in this world. Stephanie I hope you are feeling alright I am used to seeing you near the top of the page.
Oh bless you, I'm fine love, it's Sue's fault she made me think lol. Thanks for asking though x
DeleteHello Sue, a really beautiful card, love the opulent look. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Nice to see the return of the Fire and Ice technique which suits the Celtic Circle die so well.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the dinner guest are concerned, this is such a difficult choice. It would have to be with like-minded people who would be able to bounce ideas off each other, so I have gone for the creative types - Angel Strawbridge (from Escape to the Chateau), Lou Withers (for Mixed Media) and, of course, the one and only Sue Wilson. If you asked me the same question again tomorrow it would probably be completely different people.
Lisbeth
Afternoon Sue. I'm later than normal as I've been thinking long and hard to find the answers to your question. It's just dawned on me while my 'keeper' and I were talking family - I have no family whatsoever to ask those questions that I need answers to now, I was young when the older family members passed, and second cousin's etc made no sense then, so to answer your question I would really adore my dad at my dinner table, he lived 4 weeks after our daughter was born and managed just one short cuddle, so I'd love to introduce him to Lou and her husband, and of course now her daughter and Lottie, they would absolutely cherish him as my keeper and I did. But I'd also love to invite my nan and aunty as they would have the most wonderful and thought provoking memories to share which now at my age would be enthralling. You asked lol. Who are your choices Sue ?
ReplyDeleteIn my minds eye today's gorgeous inspiration will be so full of sparkle that it really needs to be seen in real life to get its true beauty.
I'm now going to scroll up to read all the interesting visitors our blog friends have invited to a meal and I'm looking forward to reading the posts. Thanks for opening up such a conversation piece and for allowing me to share my thoughts with those that feel like reading it lol xxx
Ooooo....3 people.....
ReplyDelete1. Mel Odom
2. Cher (as in Sonny and..)
3. Rembrandt
You must be feeling much better if you are thinking up things like this!
love

Hi Sue this is a stunning card I love all the sparkle. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a gorgeous card and I love the fire and ice technique - I really should do it more often.
ReplyDeleteThe are many people from history that I would like to invite to dinner and it would be hard to limit it to just three and my brain is on a go slow so cannot name any. I would love it if you dropped in yourself and of course my mum who enjoyed painting and was a musician, I know you would get on.
Frances
Hi Sue, I love your fire and ice technique and the flower is one I use regularly.
ReplyDeleteMy sentiment die arrived yesterday. How quick was that? Thank you so much. I will be using it next weekend.
We're going to the Lake District for a few days so hopefully I can access WiFi (a birthday treat).
If I could chose 3 people, among them would have to be:-
Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill and Vistoria Wood to make us all laugh if things got a little too serious.
Hugs xx Pauline
Fab card Sue :)
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the three famous people though ;)
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAlways love your fire and ice cards and the Celtic Circle background is ideal for this technique.
I’m afraid I’ve drawn a blank over the three famous people
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Great card Thank you the reminder about Fire and Ice technique
ReplyDeleteMy three dinner guests would be
John Lennon for his wit and music
Your good self so we can chat about craft and
maybe George Best my footballing hero I used to think he was so good looking too
ReplyDeleteLove the card today.
Right, three people . . . . you do do hard questions,
it really got me thinking, so here goes;
Victoria Wood she makes me laugh!!
Lewis Hamilton just watching the GP!!!
and
Dean Wilson another one who makes me laugh!!

Hi Sue, I'm loving all the 'bling' on this card, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Stunning post and so versatile as a generic card. My three dinner guests would be:
ReplyDeleteQueen Elizabeth I - How she strengthened England and led as a 'woman' early girl power!
Beatrix Potter - to discuss her books and their popularity and her legacy to the National Trust
Florence Nightingale - all the good work she did during the war
Gorgeous sparkly card. I’d pick members of my family and ask them about our family history. X
ReplyDeleteHi Sue stunning card I love the caught in crystal backgrounds
ReplyDeleteSo lovely.
Love Lynda xx
Hi Sue. For some strange reason my comment has disappeared into thin air !!! Any way I really love your gorgeous card today. I think it is absolutely beautiful. Your gorgeous Celtic circle s background die has now gone to the top of my wish because I managed to buy your beautiful Claire die !!! I have not made a card using your beautiful fire and ice technique for a long time. You have reminded me that I have to make one now !!! I love your petal pocket flowers to. They are fun to make and look beautiful when finished. I love your sentiment to. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous card. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
ReplyDeleteLove the Fire & Ice cards and the background die is perfect. So pretty and different.
ReplyDeleteI think I would select for my three dinner guests: Barack Obama, the Dalai Lama, and Ben Franklin. Hard to just pick three but a banquet wouldn't be the same would it?
Have a good start to your week,
Stephanie K
Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteI just love this card, have never tried fire and ice but really must.
Such a weird coincidence but we were having a conversation yesterday about advances in technology and said wouldn’t it be fabulous to have Marconi, Bell and maybe Tesla here to show them just what we have built on their amazing inventions, wow ! Clai01 really spooky !
Can’t wait to see yours Sue
Muriel x
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteCatching up on your posts working a long shift yesterday (Sunday), and Wow! It’s such a striking card! The fire and ice technique is my absolute favourite it always looks stunning.
My favourite people to invite to my dinner would be you, Tina Turner and Stephen Fry.
You so that we can catch up
Tina could sing for us
Stephen is such an interesting person he could feed us with interesting facts about a lot of things.
Hugs x
Heather T
Another stunning card. An all rounder card.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom because she was tireless amd always helping, Venus Williams admire her strength despite the odds against in where she w as s brought up and overcoming health without complaint and that she humbly has a great attitude Abraham Lincoln he live in a difficult age and stood for right.
Hi Sue - sorry was out all of yesterday and only just caught up - love the fire and ice technique and this card is stunning. I would like a completely relaxed evening with Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald - I'd offer them a sleepover too! Sending best wishes
ReplyDeleteYvonneMayxx
You can rarely go wrong with the fire and ice technique as this lovely card shows.
ReplyDeleteTeress
What a stunning card, the fire and Ice technique looks great, it was a good reminder for me to make more cards using it as I have not made any for a while.
ReplyDeleteI would love to sit down for Dinner with Elvis Presley, imagine listening to tales of his life and him possibly singing a song just for you, also Mindy McCready, a not very well known Country Singer who also died when she was young, and Dolly Parton who came from humble beginnings and could also tell us lots of tales about her life! As you can probably tell I love Country Music!
this is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteFabulous card!

Sorry I am late in catching up!
