his is gorgeous Sue. The gilding is so rich. It's cold again today, where has our promised Sunshine gone? I hope wherever it is, you are enjoying it. Hugs to all.
Good morning Sue, A beautiful card, gilding flakes are one of my favorite things to use & so glad you have told me about embossing them as I never thought of trying this but will do now. Thanks Sue. Yvonne xx
Good morning Sue, Another stunning creation, love it. Hazel lent me her Die, off to watch and learn so I can have a go later. Have a great day Hugs Patricia xxx
Morning Sue. This is a stunning card it looks very rich and opulant. Love playing with my guilding flakes but never tried to emboss with them, another must try. Your flowers always look perfect. Take care everyone. Best Wishes. Denise T x
To My Very Dear Friend Sue, "Magnificent Card" And A Truly Tremendous Video With Great Tips And Techniques. I Love Using Gilding Flakes, Fabulous Colours Also. I Loved How You Placed A Sticky Sheet To Acetate Then Embossed It, It Looked Amazing I Was Thinking When Going Through The Folder So Not To Stick To The Folder, Instead Of Using Copy Paper Would It Be Better To Use The Silky Side Of Your Sticky Sheet So It Doesn't Stick Or Is This Something You Did. Well My Wonderful Friend Only Three More Days Then I Fly On Holiday So After Sunday I Won't Be Able To Comment For Quite Some Time. Take Great Care My Dear Friend And Thank You For Sharing The Fabulous Card And Video. Love And Hugs From Sam xxx Hugs To All The Wilsonettes Take Care All x
Good Morning Sue & all Wilsonettes. Some of you may have noticed that I haven't left a comment over the last few days, I hope you didn't think that just because my name was drawn for a comment I had decided not to come back...that's not me folks, glad to say...Sue is very generous to us all in heart & soul so she deserves all the recognition & gratitude we can show her. I'm not in good health & I have suffered over the last few days...even had to drag myself to my part-time job working with children which absolutely knocked me for six, I had to go,firstly because they are one staff down & secondly how am I going to have the wages to collect Sues gorgeous dies... Anyways Sue if ever we are looking for something different in a card you are always certain to oblige although gilding is not really my thing (I'm sure it's very therapeutic)you make it look so easy on the video with stunning results...I'm sure many, many wilsonettes will be sure to enjoy making this card with your amazing idea of embossing & gilding technique & will achieve just as great a result...well off to do hubby's lunch for work...will comment on Sues previous creations a bit later. Take care to all...Love Beth B x x x PS if Inky Fingers do not have the dies you are looking for then please try CRAFT World in Glasgow (sorry don't know how to add a link for you)they have quite a lot of Sues cutting dies etc, they are lovely, helpful people with excellent service with very good delivery times...x x
Good morning Sue. Gorgeous card, love the gilding flakes on acetate, something else I'll have to try. My die from your giveaway arrived yesterday and I would just like to say a huge thank you, I can't wait for the weekend to have a play! Sue xxx
Hi Sue and you lovely ladies. Got to try this. I wonder if it would look good if you highlighted the embossing with some Pebeo gilding wax in silver? Oooohh can't wait to play. Thanks Sue for your inspiration. Big hug Julie E
Really opulent card today, Sue, love it all, especially the embellishment with pins! Must try embossing gilded sections, think maybe for me on card rather than acetate. Thanks for the video!
Good morning Sue, a beautiful,card as always, I haven't used the flakes since I did the workshop with you in Aberdeen, bought some and of coarse they are still unopened. Must watch the video and then make a card, so that I can say I have used them. Hazel x
Very luxurious card Sue .....the embossing is genius .....at first look it reminded me of walnut wood....my grandfather had beautiful walnut furniture and you could get lost in the wood grain ....it pulled you into the swirling depth of colours...your card has the same effect...! beautiful Luv Rach :)
Hi Sue & Friends, this card is very rich looing , I am hopeless with flakes, just end up with a messy looking piece, shall have to watch the video to see how you do it. Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall
Hi Sue. The gilding flakes always make a card look very opulent especially when used with your dies. Looking forward to watching the tutorial later. Have a great day. xx

Morning Sue, I love this card, I must admit I have not tried embossing guilding flakes but I am going to now. Thank you for sharing. We have lost the lovely sunshine here today, dull, cold and looks like rain. Nothing like the good old British weather.
Lovely card. That's another thing that just sits in the drawer like the mica. I really need to start using all these lovely products. I just keep forgetting about them until I see pretty cards like yours as a reminder so thank you Sue. Anniekk xxx
Good morning Sue I must try gilding some acetate and then embossing it, because it looks so gorgeous. Mulled wine is one of my favourite gilding flakes there are some amazing colours within the pot. The video as usual was full of hints and tips thank you for that. Hugs x Heather T

I have a lot on today, workmen arriving and food shopping for my little kitty's so hopefully I will squeeze in some me time and Cardmaking later.

Hi Sue, What a great video to go with a stunning card! Thank you once again . Your hard work is appreciated! Elizabeth - sorry you haven't been well. I hope you feel a lot better very soon. Love to everyone, Myra xxx
Your card today Sue is gorgeous, I have never ever used the gilding technique, but sure I am going to give it a go. Somewhere in my craft stash I have a jar unopened.
The sun has gone, we have heavy rain, but it sure does help me knuckle down to get some crafting done. I love the sunshine, love to be in my garden, sometimes, I craft on the patio table. Bit wet though today.
Beautiful and stunning card! I love gilding flakes, they make anything seem more elegant. I never thought about using acetate for my embossing, I must try it, thanks for all your great inspiration. Have a great day. Gail
Hi Sue, very much later in posting today, but your card was certainly worth waiting for! I love gilding flakes but have never embossed them - absolutely gorgeous! Many thanks Janette x
Awesome card today. I now have the gilding flakes, acetate, and your vine embossing folder as well as the dies. So I can give this technique a try. Thanks ever so much for the video. Wishing all a great day.
Lovely card. I have tried this with the gilding flakes and embossing folder and it worked just great. I received my prize today from the new die giveaway and it is just beautiful.
Hi Sue & all, not sure about this card. I love the dies and your heat embossing Sue is flawless, the guilding is gorgeous but not sure about the acetate. Sorry, I don't think it's something I'd use myself, I think it might be the plastic-ness. Now I feel awful, sorry, is it just me? Hope everyone has a pleasant eavening, blessings - Deb C xx
HI SUE FAB WOW CARD. YOU HAVE LET THE GENIE OUT OF THE BOTTLE AGAIN. I BOUGHT 3 JARS OF FLAKES AND HID THEM HOPING I WOULD FORGET ABOUT THEM. NOW GOT THEM OUT AGAIN. BE ON EVERY CARD FOR WEEK OR SO. LOL. THINK THE ADHESIVE SHEETS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. NICE TO DIE CUT IT AND PUT FLAKES ON. LOOKS GREAT ON YOUR FINISHING TOUCHES DIES. I HAVENT BOUGHT ANY OF THESE BORDERS YET BUT CAN SEE HOW USEFUL THEY COULD BE. LOVE THE VIDEO. GRAND CARD. BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER NADINE HUG XXX
Hi Sue, gorgeous card and I loved it when you showed the embossed background to camera and it really flashed in the light which showed it off much better than the still photo's. I have gilded acetate before but have not embossed it afterwards, something that I must now try. Frances
Hi Sue, what very classy and delightful creation today. What a super idea the gilding on acetate, and then embossing it. Really enjoyed the video tutorial. Thank you. Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Sue, Rather late commenting today. Had workmen in today and I've had quite a bit of sorting out to do. Love gilding flakes use them quite a lot, but haven't used them on acetate. The effect looks opulent, lovely card! CaroleB x
Hi Sue, What a lovely card and an interesting video, as you said it would make a lovely wedding card or in this case a golden wedding card. I would never have thought to emboss acetate to give that added interest so thank you for yet another useful tip. Love and hugs Saba xxx
The gilding flakes give this lovely card a really luxurious look. I haven't tried embossing gilded card yet but as I've just got another colour of gilding flakes you've given me the perfect excuse to try. Take care everyone.
Hi Sue and everyone Another stunner for us today Sue You certainly know how to keep us Wilsonetts happy Still playing catch up with collecting your new dies lol Keep em coming Take care everyone Theresa x
What a rich and opulent background - I have tried this myself and it works beautifully, no cracking or flaking and the embossing shows up really well no matter which colour of gilding flakes you use.

What a great video to go with a stunning card! Thank you once again . Your hard work is appreciated!

Your card today Sue is gorgeous, I have never ever used the gilding technique, but sure I am going to give it a go. Somewhere in my craft stash I have a jar unopened.
The sun has gone, we have heavy rain, but it sure does help me knuckle down to get some crafting done. I love the sunshine, love to be in my garden, sometimes, I craft on the patio table. Bit wet though today.
Happy crafting hugs to all.

Beautiful and stunning card! I love gilding flakes, they make anything seem more elegant. I never thought about using acetate for my embossing, I must try it, thanks for all your great inspiration. Have a great day. Gail
Hi Sue. A stunning card and such a good idea to emboss the gilding flakes. I am now dying to try this for myself! Many thanks, Lindag

Love the gilding flakes. Gorgeous card, good video. Hugs Theresa xx
This is truly gorgeous!! Never thought to emboss after I gilded. Definitely going to give this a try! Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi Sue, very much later in posting today, but your card was certainly worth waiting for! I love gilding flakes but have never embossed them - absolutely gorgeous!
Many thanks

Awesome card today. I now have the gilding flakes, acetate, and your vine embossing folder as well as the dies. So I can give this technique a try. Thanks ever so much for the video. Wishing all a great day.
Hi Sue
Lovely card. I have tried this with the gilding flakes and embossing folder and it worked just great.
I received my prize today from the new die giveaway and it is just beautiful.
Thank you very much.

This has a rich, classy and elegant feel and as such is a card you would expect to find in one of the high end shops. It just stunning.
Hi Sue & all, not sure about this card. I love the dies and your heat embossing Sue is flawless, the guilding is gorgeous but not sure about the acetate. Sorry, I don't think it's something I'd use myself, I think it might be the plastic-ness. Now I feel awful, sorry, is it just me?
Hope everyone has a pleasant eavening, blessings - Deb C xx
HI SUE
FAB WOW CARD. YOU HAVE LET THE GENIE OUT OF THE BOTTLE AGAIN. I BOUGHT 3 JARS OF FLAKES AND HID THEM HOPING I WOULD FORGET ABOUT THEM. NOW GOT THEM OUT AGAIN. BE ON EVERY CARD FOR WEEK OR SO. LOL.
THINK THE ADHESIVE SHEETS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. NICE TO DIE CUT IT AND PUT FLAKES ON. LOOKS GREAT ON YOUR FINISHING TOUCHES DIES. I HAVENT BOUGHT ANY OF THESE BORDERS YET BUT CAN SEE HOW USEFUL THEY COULD BE.
LOVE THE VIDEO. GRAND CARD.

Great textures!! Thanks for sharing this trick!
Hi Sue, gorgeous card and I loved it when you showed the embossed background to camera and it really flashed in the light which showed it off much better than the still photo's. I have gilded acetate before but have not embossed it afterwards, something that I must now try.
Frances
What a beautiful card Sue, Stunning. xx
Gorgeous Card Sue!
The guilding and embossed effect is stunning.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Hi Sue,
what very classy and delightful creation today.
What a super idea the gilding on acetate, and then embossing it.
Really enjoyed the video tutorial.
Thank you.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
lush and opulent. great idea to emboss on acetate, hugs xx
Hi Sue,

Thank you for a super demo.

Hi Sue,
Rather late commenting today. Had workmen in today and I've had quite a bit of sorting out to do.
Love gilding flakes use them quite a lot, but haven't used them on acetate. The effect looks opulent, lovely card!

Hi Sue,
What a lovely card and an interesting video, as you said it would make a lovely wedding card or in this case a golden wedding card. I would never have thought to emboss acetate to give that added interest so thank you for yet another useful tip.
Love and hugs

An interesting technique and lovely card

The gilding flakes give this lovely card a really luxurious look. I haven't tried embossing gilded card yet but as I've just got another colour of gilding flakes you've given me the perfect excuse to try.
Take care everyone.
Hi Sue,
Really pretty card. Love it.
Much love,
Shirley T. xxx

Very different looking card.
Hi Sue,
What a rich and opulent background - I have tried this myself and it works beautifully, no cracking or flaking and the embossing shows up really well no matter which colour of gilding flakes you use.
