Good morning all! Card first, then news! For those of you that don't like the dark cards, look away now! There are a few of you out there like me that enjoy the dark contrast and this one is for you. I really liked this one myself as I thought it had a real exotic feel to it. I started by stamping my sentiment in the lower corner with a clear Perfect Medium pad. I heat embossed it with gold powder. Next I embossed just the top portion of the card using the Floral embossing folder from Creative Expressions. I used my score board and made two lines to separate the areas and I pierced in between the lines. Next I cut the Window Scene die from Heartfelt Creations in taupe card. I stamped the stained glass window in black and applied Tim Holtz crackle to it and let it dry over night. I cut the Chateau Gate window in black and glued it over the crackled window once it was dry. I mounted the two windows a top each other and placed them in the centre of my embossed background. I made several of the Vintage Floret flowers using varying sizes of the die. I cut them first out of taupe card, then inked them in black. I used a clear perfect medium pad to just tip the edges of them and then I sprinkled gold embossing powder on them and heat set the powder. I added a flatback black pearl as a centre to each of the flowers. I arranged them around the lower corner of my window and added a small bow of the striped grosgrain ribbon and some natural jute twine. I matted the entire piece in taupe and pierced the inner mat as a frame to complete my card. I promise something lighter for tomorrows offering so there is a nice balance! Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size.
I also have some more news to let you in on! Do you remember my charity demo in Scotland on July 6th? Well, the wonderful people at The Papeterie have agreed to film the demo day and we are going to be selling the DVD for £6 with all the proceeds going to the charity (that includes free shipping in the UK!) They have asked that if you are interested to get in touch with them to reserve a copy (so they know how many to make). I have also been doing some thinking about how else I could improve on the charity proceeds and I am going to do a silent auction of some of my cards. I will put a card on the side of my blog and if you would like to make a bid on it, then just email me. I will let you know if you have the highest bid or not, but I won't tell you the bid amount (more fun that way!) I will put a closing date on the auction, then notify the person that has won! What do you think!
All for now, Sue x

Evn though dark it is still a lovely card. Great news about the DVD and the card auctions.
And I forgot to say I think the silent auction is a lovely thought, hugs x
Love the mixture of textures on this card and I quite like the darkness .. it works. Good news about the dvd and card auctions for charity x
Morning Sue,
Loving the dark card, it looks very sultry - i feel like i want to open the window and peak out.
Silent Auction sounds fab.

Hi Sue, I like dark cards so this card is right up my street. Managed to track down the floret die/stamps so can't wait for them to arrive to have a play . The DVD and silent auction are great ideas . Lol Lynne M x x x
Normally Not a Fan of dark cards but this One is stunning, Love the embossed Black Card and the vintage Floretts are just beautiful. Great News too xx
Hi sue love the card the DVD and silent auction are great ideas must get a DVD copy and try the silent card auction thanks Tracy w x
Morning Sue - What a generous and thoughtful lady you are - I will definitely buy a DVD and the auction will be fun! I really love this card so I am going to make a dark card to see what it looks like in the flesh so to speak... I have thought about my aversion to black in a card and I think it's a hang over from my youth (a very long time ago LOL - the big 7-0 is looming!!!)when any black on a card was connected to a bereavement. So that's one of my weekend tasks and I'll let you know! I wish I'd discovered card making years ago; I've been wandering in a sort of vacuum since I lost my husband 8 years ago and by chance I tuned into CandC last year and there you were, Sue, making these amazing creations; I've been hooked ever since - actually totally addicted is a better description LOL. I'm sure like a lot of the lovely card making ladies, I would love to give up work and just make cards all day! If I pop my clogs tomorrow all I will leave my kids is an empty bank balance and a craft "room" full of lovely goodies LOL!
Thank you for your never-ending inspiration, Sue
Hugs Annie
Hi Sue, I am definately up for the DVD. Love the card as a fan of the darkside its a definate hit with me. ALso love the idea of using the piercing to seperate the two parts of the top layer.
A definate one for me to try. Like Annie I will only leave my loved ones a room full of stuff and creations :)
Hugs n stuff
Carol B
Hi Sue, I think this card is perfect. Hope the auctions go well, it is a fab idea. Bx
Hi Sue, I love it, a dark card its as though you made it just for me!! AM up for the DVD and love the idea of rthe silent auction.
Am lookijng forward to Friday the recorder is set already
Hugs n stuff
Carol B
Dark cards aren't really my type, but I do like the elegant look of yours. Hugs! xx
Morning Sue,
I'm a bit like Annie, I think my hang up over black is from my youth. Plus I cannot see myself sending a black card to older people. But I can see the younger ones enjoying receiving a card like this.
On first seeing it I did think it was rather striking and I have surprised myself because I love it.
Great idea about the silent auction !
Gail C x
Good morning Sue,
Another beautiful card. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the composition of the window - and the grosgrain just sets it off! Your bows are just stunning - mine don't look a patch on yours no matter how hard I try.
Absolutely up for the DVD, will get in contact with them.
Back to bed for an hour or two - my cat's had her breakfast and is already waiting for me to join her.
Hope you're not snowed in where you are.
Great card Sue, love the idea of the DVD and card auction, but would much rather make the day.
Very Gothic card today, love it. Very generous ideas for the Charity. Please can I order the DVD? I've been asking about another one from you so what a lovely way to have one. Thanks in advance Sue. Mabex
Great card ,like the dark cards better than the pale ones!
Stunning card very elegant looking x
Good morning Sue
What I think is, you are such a kind and generous person and I would buy the DVD and bid in the silent auction. Like a few others I did associate black card with bereavement but the more I used black card the less the association became. I particularly like the gold contrast also those flowers are amazing.
Hugs x

I like the mixture of textures on this card but not sure of the colours Good news about the dvd and card auctions for charity
Hi Sue,
Dark or not this card is just fab - love it. DVD sounds a brilliant idea. Beverley W
What a great card, so beautiful
hugs Linda
Gorgeous card sue. How do we get in touch about the DVD please.x
Hi Sue
A very striking and opulent card today, the charity will benefit greatly from your talent.
Happy crafting
Love Tina x
Morning Sue. I love the intranet of a Blake card and I love that grosgrain ribbon. It looks so classy. You are very generous with your inspiration and your work. The DVD would be great. Sue xx
My sort of card this one.Not keen on wishy washy colours but this really does it for me.
as for the video for charity.YES?What a super idea.It will earn them loads I,m sure.Silent auction? Another Yes so go Sue Go.Your fans will support you all the way.How exciting! Bring it on xX
Morning Sue
A very striking card! Great idea about the video of your charity demo and the card auction, I for one will be taking part.
Love Jean xxx
Sunning card Sue
Good morning Sus this is very striking and again I love all the textures you use on your cards. I love dark cards and this one is gorgeous. Yes please re the DVD £6 incl postage is a good price and if it raises money too then it's a win/win ;0) The silent auction is again a lovely idea. I hope you raise lots of money x
Very dramatic today, I like it (apart from the lack of a capital letter for the sentiment!!). Great fund raising ideas. I would love to bid for one of your cards Sue. Best of luck.
I admit, I´m not too happy about the very dark cards, but it doesn´t mean I ddon´t like the card itself, or the color on other thing. Just that such a small card, easily get a very heavy feeling, if it´s too dark, but yes ofcause it´s a matter of taste, which can never be discussed, cause who´s to say what is good taste or not? I´m certainly not, I can only say, that I´m not too keaen on this or that, and I relaly like thw lay out in the card, it´s awesome.
Very striking...I do like dark cards although I dont know who I would send this to.I think the dvd is an amazing idea...we have been waiting for another Sue Wilson one for too long and now one to help the charity will be fantastic.I'm sure it will be the fastest selling dvd in history.Maybe you could put on your blog Sue how we can get in touch with the shopas I seem to be having trouble connecting with them.Wish my dies and stamps from your shows would hurry up and arrive...they were ordered on the 4th march and I'm still waiting.Oh well will just have to try and be patient for a while longer,take care,x
Morning Sue, WOW, I am a lover of dark cards, and this is absolutely stunning, I love the combo of colours and the crackle effect on the stained glass window, and the flowers with gold embossing are beautiful, I love it.
What a fantastic idea for the DVD and the Auction, brilliant.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Morning Sue,
Lovely card. Brilliant idea of leaving the bottom of the card clear of embossing but finishing the end with piercing. Might have to pinch the idea. X
Hi Sue,
Love the crackle glaze window and your flowers. Good luck with the fundraiser :-)
Donna Jones
Hi Sue, I love the card I am going to try this one as my dillivery striver yesterday. Is there a tutorial on the flowers as I'm not sure how toile them. I am definitely going to order a DVD plus I will be taking part in this silent card auction. Cannot wait for the time to arrive. Thanks once again Sue x x x
Good morning Sue,
I love this card, but black and white cards have become my favorite. What a wonderful idea for the charity, when will you post their information so we can help, a CD of Sue, wow. Also the card silent auction is a fab idea you could auction a card per day for a month and send lots of money to the charity. With so many fans we all would like to help. My Sue Wilson card is framed in Texas. Fantastic ideas.
Wow!!love the colours of this one. What a great way to divide the embossing from the sentiment, I will be having a go on this style. Look forward to the details to secure my DVD.
What a beautiful card. I'm glad we have the close-up shots as it's only with them that we can appreciate all the wonderful details and hardwork that has went into the card. Looking forward to the silent auction.
Gorgeous card today and you have used those stunning flowers, wow. Count me in for the dvd Sue and love the idea of a silent auction.
Very gothic and a bit too funereal for me but in other colours I would love it!
The DVD and auction sound a good idea!
Hi Sue,
Card looks fab!!! Very classy and my kind of colours...silent auction is a great idea! Plus the DVD, you're spoiling us and I liked it very much! Take care and God bless you
Lots of love, Aggie xxx
Good Morning Sue!
My favourite colours are Black and Tan in cards and clothes, so this card is beautiful.
Lovely way to raise funds for Charity too!
LoveMarg
Morning Sue, ... Stunning, gorgeous, love this card. I love the flower dies Hope you dont sell out on Friday before I get home from work.
I would love a copy of the DVD. I think the auction is a great idea.
Happy crafting
Chrissie x x x
Sounds like some great fund raising ideas. Love the card, especially the different layout ideas.xxx
Morning Sue
Stunning card I love the colour combo... and those flowers are another die added to my wish list!!
Brilliant idea about selling the dvd and your silent auction
Sue xx
the card is lovely i love everything about it especially the flowers love Jean Z xx
Very dark and sultry today Sue, and your charity efforts are to be commended. I'd have a go at bidding, since I'm never successful on your shows.
Forgot to say really REALLY peeved about the Grand Calibur today. I ordered 3 on Monday, and last night they went down nine pounds! (Each!) Why do I have that kind of horrible luck?
Hi Sue - Love the idea of the DVD and the silent auction and I will certainly buy and bid for them. I also have a hang up from my youth as black always seemed to signify bereavement, but I have made some in the past and the recipients have loved them. I received these dies yesterday and can't wait to play.
Hugs Dawn S.
Love this card Sue.must try this one
Good Morning Sue. Love this card - so dramatic.
Great idea about the auctions and dvd.
Val in Spain xxx
Good Morning Sue,
Another fantastic creation, great design, love all the textures. flowers and of course the "bow"
For any who do not like "dark" cards change the colour and you will have a stunning card.
Great money raising ideas, the Silent Action and the DVD should make quite a lot of money for the Charity..............every penny helps no matter what Charity it is for. Good Luck.
Have a Great Day
Patricia xxx
morning Sue
How to start the day! Today's card is the answer! I love the format and although not totally a lover of dark I do like this take of black/white(taupe). It is so dramatic and I wish I had bought the window dies. Never mind perhaps I can conjure something with the dies I have and my wish list has grown longer.
I love the idea of DVD and Auction and hope it makes a good pot of gold.
Janet x
Hi Sue. Such an elegant card. I used to feel the same as several others re. large amounts black only being for bereavement, but after seeing your elegant creations have changed my mind. Fantastic news about the fund raising. It is a great idea. Everybody wins. Take care.
Hi Sue like the concept of the card but too dark for me sorry.
Marion
Hi sue I really love this card and will definitely be giving it a go if my flower dies ever turn up that is!!! The DVD and auction thing is a wonderful idea and I would be up for both. Love Lesley x
What a stunning card. I love it. I tried the gold embossing on the edges on my poinsettias at Christmas from one of your demos and the results were amazing, so I can imagine this card has a real luxurious quality in the flesh.
Great ideas with the DVD and the silent auction, hope you raise lots.
JazzaC x
I love the dark cards and this is another beauty
Hi Sue,
Love this card, it's absolutely fabulous, great news about the video and auction. Best of luck with the fundraising. MME
Hi Sue
Lovely dramatic card today with the black and gold.
I think the dvd of your demos would be a good idea-I will be contacting them to say I'm interested.Also if you are going to be generous enough to auction some of your cards I would love to own a Sue Wilson original to have framed in my craft area as inspiration,so I think that is a wonderful idea-hopefully I might win and the charity benefits too.
The DVD and auction thing is a wonderful idea I hope you raise lots this card is stunning Sue x
I like this card. I like all your cards! And I really like the idea or raising money for a good cause - just can't remember what the good cause is! However, a signed Sue Wilson original would be a wonderful treasure so let's have a go. xx
Hi Sue
The card today is very striking ,and i think it looks good for the men in our lives .
Good news on the DVD and auction
Elaine H X
gorgeous card.
Morning Sue stunning card. Love the demo dvd idea that great and should raise lots of money for the charity. Like the idea of a silent auction too to raise funds for charity, i am making frame stamped pictures with creative expressions skateboard stamps for my friends sons charity he was tragically killed in a road accident last January and they have been fund raising ever since to build a skate park in him memory as he was wanting to do this anyway and they make the first dig tomorrow. xx hazel

Hi Sue
I love the drama of this card, its a beauty. I think your ideas about the DVD and silent auction is amazing, you can count me in on both.
Love Jan x x
Morning Sue, a very striking card, all the elements come together so elegantly including the colours. Personally, I love it but I probably wouldn't make it to send to someone because as you say, not everyone would like dark colours so it'd be a bit of a risk, but you could easily use different colours with this stunning design.
I think the DVD & auction are great ideas.
Alice x
Good morning Sue. I would never have thought of making such a dark card myself but it is beautiful and now I feel that I must have a go myself. Yes to the DVD and the Auction, wonderful!
Marion x
Good morning Sue. I love this very striking card! As always the colour combination is stunning. Just pre-ordered my copy of your DVD and can't wait to see it!! Silent auction sounds a brilliant idea. Enjoy your day. Love and hugs. Hilary xxxx
Morning Sue,
Love the card, the colours are so striking, and although I love the white on white and pale colours there are times when these darker cards come in really useful and make such a change. Dvd and Silent Auction are fantastic ideas, let us konw where to order the Dvd from... xx
Love the design but yes, I would use a different colour! Great idea for the video and card auction Sue. Pat x
I'm loving the dark card and how I'm wishing I'd bought the chateu gate die now!! great news on the demo DVD and the auction for the cards.....Christine in DArcy....xx

Loved the techniques you used in this card. It is stunning. Not only do you come up with great cards but also great ideas. Love the idea of a dvd and an auction for a card - what a great way to raise funds. Looking forward to hearing more. YvonneMayxx
Beautiful card Sue - I'm looking forward to my dies arriving (maybe today!!). What a brilliant idea to raise more money for charity - I'll be putting my name down for the video for sure.

Hi Sue
Just taking advantage of DIL's computer while I have it. Now you know that I am not a lover of the 'dark' cards but you have won me over with this one! Surprised that I am? Well I think it is just the composition the gold writing it is so elegant really it is. Lovely!
Now as for the DVD I shall reserve one today and yes I think the secret auction of one of your cards is a fab idea; go for it!
Good luck with your shows if I am not in touch before :)
Craft Hugs

love colors gold on flowers very elegant
Hi Sue - Another stunner I love the dark coloured cards you do so dramatic. Yet I like the white on white too, I would never be able to decide on which ones, I love them all each have their compoments which make them unique to you. What a great idea for the DVD can you put a link on where to order one please. The auction for the card will definately raise so much money for the charity what a brilliant idea Toni xxx
Hi Sue, absolutely love this card, right up my street as I love the striking dark colours. What a great idea for the DVD, I would certainly buy one and would also bid for a Sue Wilson original creation especially as its for charity.
Hugs

Very striking card Sue, have a good day
Wonderful card Sue. I'd be very interested in your DVD. I love all of your cards and draw great inspiration from them. Great idea about the silent auction. Please let me know how I can get hold of your DVD when it's available.

Hi Sue, I like this card very much. Sometimes you need something a little darker as there are some people who are not into pastels etc. Very iterested in the DV and the silent auction.
Love Rosemarie xx
Morning Sue Wow what a stunning card its so. Stiking love the colours that you have used. And i will be getting your dvd when it goes out. Then ive got you yo my self lol. Take care sue xx

Morning Sue, gorgeous card, I love any colours not really pastels tho. Lovely news on the card auctions and dvd. Emma
Love the card Sue. Dark cards are very striking, although they are a bit like marmite - you either love them or hate them, my friend doesn't like any cards that have black on them, bit I disagree as black does make other colours pop.
Anyway, I think the silent auctions are a very good idea - what charities were you thinking of?

Hugs, Belinda X
Hi Sue, Fab card. I like white cards and the contrast of very dark cards. I don't very often use pastel stock so this really works for me. I have contacted The Papeterie and might even be able to pop up from Edinburgh. Take care. Christine xx
Hi Sue
I'm becoming a convert to dark cards especially after seeing this one. It is gorgeous. Re the DVD and auction - what a fabulous idea .
Like the sound of DVD can you explain in more detail how we order as iam a bit thick on a p.c
again a lovely card it could be done in light colours lol x
This is a stunning card Sue, love it. xx Flora
Hi Sue, that's fantastic news about the DVD and a great way to bring in proceeds for the charity. Great idea too about an auction for your card.
Today's card is another beauty. I don't mind whether cards are dark or light I love all creations and to me this is just stunning.
Hugs, Michelle E xx
Hello Sue, This is a stunner, striking and oppulent, love everything about it, the flowers and bow are gorgeous. You are so thoughtful and giving, the DVD is a great idea and the silent auction will be fun, the charity will make a pot. I am going to reserve my DVD.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs June xxx
I really like this card Sue - you're right it does look exotic. I think if you did it in red, black and white you could also make it look quite oriental.
Lovely to hear about your charity work - we just had a clown doctor staying with us (small charity that entertains children in hospital) - like to do my bit too to support small charities!
Thanks, Susan
Hi Sue
have to say i like the air of mystery with this card. Always want to look through the windows. (Always want to see more or am i just plain nosey lol). Fab flowers. (Ordered these but not here yet).
Fab idea the silent auction, I would bid.

Hi Sue,
Great card as usual.
Black. taupe and gold are indeed exotic combinations.
Here is an e-mail address to reserve the Papertiere DVD:
charlotte.mitchell@arjowiggins.com
I absolutely love the Papertiere concept and so wish we down here in Hampshire could partake in similar events locally.
Please, Sue, will you remind us what this charity actually does up there in Aberdeen, and who will benefit from your extraordinary generosity. I think that this event
is about to take off!
Hugs,
Lis x
this is one of my favorite cards
Sue a lovely card. The gold embossing on black really stands out.
Hello Sue.
I am loving this card Taupe with Gold on the Black background seems to soften the Black (in my opinion)
AND that background is gorgeous, love the divide idea with scoring and piercing it looks so professional.
Those beautiful Vintage flowers with a touch of gold and bow really add the WOW factor, Love it all.
I like the charity ideas, and will
definitely be supporting you.
Best wishes Brenda Lel
PS Am going to email (did a Google serch) www.thepapeterie.com to order my DVD. dont want to miss out on this offer. LOL
Stunning card and very elegant. Love the colours, dark and sultry.
I for one love your dark contrast cards Sue. Keep them coming. With love & light Theresa. H.
Hi Sue ,
I am one of those fans who love Black and White and also partial to White on White, this card is sensational especially the flowers, the whole card is striking
Love the idea of you doing a Charity Auction for one of your cards what a fantastic idea it will be a hit
also can't wait to place my order for the Demo DVD which will also be very popular and such a great cause, Thank you for sharing Best Wishes Shahab xx
Great card and I like the idea of auctioning your cards for charity
Sue do you have any hints what Fridays POW will be I know it cheeky to ask but I have got some Mother's day money burning a hole in my pocket
I like the 'darkness' of the card :) not sure about the bow personally, but that's just me!
Hi Sue
You know if all your registered followers bought the DVD it would raise £25,200 for the charity that would be amazing!!!

Love the card. Not sure about a silent auction as some can afford more than others so would be in a better position to win. Maybe a contribution from people of 20p,or thereabouts, and then you draw the winner from the names?
hi sue, it a yes for a dvd from me,hubby said i can whatch to. you and barbra gray are the only 2 crafters he sits and whatches. my aster dies and stamp pack came today from create and craft to. love bluebell-flowerwood.

The dvd is a great idead, and i agree with a previous blogger, if you made it a £1. to bid or something i think everyone would take part.
Best Wishes to a very giving Sue.

I think it's lovely to record the day and sell the DVD's. I for one, want one. So who are the people to contact?
And bidding on one of your cards is a lovely idea :)
Hi Sue this card is stunning it ticks all my boxes I also use a lot of black on cards ,the flowers are fantastic ,the by putting the varnish on the elements work very well.
I am so looking fordward to Friday .
Do not burn yourself out.

Hi Sue,
I love the layout and techniques used, however it is a bit austere for me. Navy and white would work well. Count me in for the dvd, can we have a link for that please. I am easy on whether you hold a silent auction or raffle. I would think it would have to be at least £1 each to make it worthwhile for you and the charity.

Lovely card, like black and use it often in my cards. The DVD is a brilliant idea and will make lots of money for the charity. Would love to bid on a card, dont think you realise just how sought after your cards are. There is a crafter who sells her cards on ebay and often gets £20/30 for them. I think your cards will do really well!!!
A beautiful thank you! x
A great card, the window die is lovely and the flowers beautiful. Good news on the fund raising event. x
