Hi crafters! One of the last of the Christmas card videos today (I think there is actually one more), but is an easy technique and you always get unique results every time. Let me know what you think about it!
Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Looks beautiful, love the snowflakes. I am off to watch the video now as I am intrigued! Take care.
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. I will watch the video later. The videos are such a great feature of your site. It is so near to Christmas where did all the time go?Love Jackie
That card is just such lovely, calming colours. No time 'to video' now as off (grand) childminding, so early start, but I will watch later.
Yeah, a great video and card, Sue. Wish I had all the snowflake sets!! Not one to my name yet. The base embossing folder perfect for this, and do like the swirl stamp on the foreground and such brilliant resist effects. Altogether a really lovely card.

Morning Sue, Wilsonettes. A lovely card today, easy but effective, I think.I've started to think the 'Wilson way' ! And thinking that after all the stamping etc for the background how pretty it would be dipped in micro beads ? Although it's a pretty enough back drop for the snow flakes as it is - just an additional lightbulb moment from moi, which believe me doesn't happen that much !
I DO love the video tutorials, it helps with the withdrawl symptoms of not having you on our screen often enough ! I think YOU should have a 'classroom show too, it would be wonderful to have you on our tv screen as our leader, hero and tutor, sorry for being greedy and asking more from you as if you dont have enough to do for us hungry Wilsonettes !
Im going to play with that background with what stamps etc I have as I dont own many SB products at all yet but giving us your time and idea's you make it easier for us to play with what we do have and try and mimic your wonderful 'Wonders of Wilson' samples.
Wishing health and happiness where ever you are in the world.
Stay safe n warm.
Lancashire Steph (bet you cant guess where IM from) lol

Thank you for letting me join you this morning with my first cup of coffee.
As you say not a traditional coloured card today but such an elegant gift - unusual colours really make it so interesting and beautiful. I love the snowflake dies and although I don't have many of the distressed inks the Peacock colour I have and it's definitely one of my favourites.
It's my craft afternoon today with some of my crafty friends so it's a busy busy day.

Great card Sue, I have the snowflake die so I hope I can emulate your design. Can't wait to watch the video later.

Good morning Sue,
I love the snowflake and the idea that you can make it to suit yourself. The iridescence snowflakes are beautiful and really show up lovely. Watching you with the swirls of beads i can now see that it is the same for everyone trying to get those things off the acetate.
Real pretty card today Sue, so thank you once more for your inspiration.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah

It´s a very very beautiful card Sue, and I love the background you creatd with the different embossingpowders too, it really makes it pop out.
Oh, wow, I love this one. Off to watch the video now.

Love the aqua background as it makes the snowflake really pop!

Morning Sue, a very pretty Christmas card. Kind regards Joanne K x
Lovely technique Sue and the final card is really pretty.
Can I ask a question? Why do you do the stamping first, and then the background colouring and water effects? Does it matter?
Thanks, Susan
Good Morning Sue. Beautiful card as always.
Love Val x
Hi Sue, a lovely Christmas card. You show so many wonderful new to me techniques. Thank you so much and I love the videos they are so easy to watch and learn from.

Hi Sue

HI SUE
ANOTHER CRACKING CARD. LOVE THE FOREST GREEN AND PEACOCK COLOUR(TWO ON MY TO BUY LIST). FAB TIPS, PARTICULARLY LIKE THE SPRAY THE STAMP WITH WATER TO GET LIGHT IMPRESSION OF THE STAMP IN DISTRESSED INK. ONE I WILL TRY.
ONE GOOD TIP DESERVES ANOTHER. PUT A PATTERN OF INK (CAN BE ANY POSTER PAINT, ACRYLIC, ANY THING U HAVE)tWO DIFFERENT COLOURS IN A TRAY. MAKE PATTERN ZIG ZAG, OR SPIRAL. ROLL TWO MARBLES ROUND IN THE INK AND THERE IS A NICE PATTERN LAY YOUR PAPER ON IT. REMOVE AND LEAVE TO DRY BEFORE USING. COMES OUT LIKE YOUR SHAVING FOAM PATTERNS.
BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER

Hi Sue. A truly beautiful card today !! My favourite colour is green and the peacock feathers with forest moss distress inks are a fab colour combination. I love how you have done some stamping with white embossing powder and some with the iridescent powder. This is another lovely idea Sue and it looks great, making a very interesting and varied background. The background folder is very nice. Your snowflake is gorgeous. This is a really lovely Christmas card. As always your video is fab !! Very helpful and informative. Thank you for all your hard work Sue. Happy crafting everyone. Lots of love Tres x x x

Cute card and I like the color. Nice winters Christmas card. Thanks for the video. They are a big help in clearer understanding of all the techniques.
This is a stunning and unusual design in gorgeous colours. I hadn't thought to use different embossing powders in the one design before so thank you for pointing this out, it's very effective. x
Hi Sue
Such a beautiful card with fantastic techniques. I really enjoy the videos as they are such a serene and relaxing way of watching the art of card making. I always make sure I have a cup of tea or a glass of wine, (depending on the time of day) and take time out to appreciate your demo's. Surprised about the aurora glitter, but I think the colours used in this card,the aurora worked beautifully.
Kind regards.:-)

Hi Sue,
First thing I did was watch the "The Video" what a Truly Stunnuing Card. If any new visitors are joining for the first time the Video's are great! I have followed Sue for many years as lots of her Blog Friends, have! the Video's for me takes you step by step Creating Awesome Cards! She Stamps Beautiflly, She loves to create Textures on her Backgrounds, she takes us through everything, So if someone said to me oh! Sue Wilson just uses The Grand Calibur, How wrong you are! and today's Card on her Blog proves that! she has taken us step by step through the Fantastic Card today its Awesome I love the Background I love the Embossing, wonderful Snowflakes that have been used, and the Colours on the Background, the wonderful Spellbinder snowflakes, and love the Heat Embossimg, but then I'm extremely Biased as Sue to me is the BEST! there's not a day goes by when I Don't check out Sue's Blog.
Love from Sam x

Another great card, another technique. I like the colour different from the usual red and white or pale blue and white. A change from the normal. Haven"t had a chance to watch yet busy getting ready for installation of new kitchen. Wish it was a craft room would love my own craft space and not just part of another room. Well dreams over need to win lottery for that.
Will watch soon.
