Hi crafters! The Caught in Crystal is still one of my absolute favourite techniques and it has been around in many forms for many years now! I will show you the way that I prefer to do this technique in today's video. I hope you'll enjoy it.
You still have one more day to add any comments to blog posts you may have missed during the blog launch. Only one comment per post, but there are 21 posts that you are able to comment on should you like. I will do the drawing sometime on Friday and post the winners in the afternoon.

Pat x
Morning Sue
What a contrast to yesterday's gift.
It certainly makes a very bold statement and wouldn't' it be just the ticket for those awkward males we have to cater for at times.
This is a technique I haven't tried but will have to get some inks and have a play.
To all those in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. Don't forget drink lots of water if you're in high temps.
See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Striking card Sue! Love the intense colours. Must go watch the video now. Debra x

Morning Sue, one of my favourite techniques. I can remembering you doing a demo ay Ally Pally on it !!!!! Years ago. And you gave me the finished piece. Which I still have! It is great for man cards and different e every time. Hope everyone is OK in this hot weather, please take care.
Love Rosemarie xx
Cant wait to watch this one, looks great, xxx
Good Morning Sue, another lovely card nice and bright will watch the video later
Kathy
Good Morning Sue
I love this technique the only problem is it's so addictive to do, there are so many variations of different colour schemes to try. Your so right about being careful not to 'muddy' the colours I've had some disasters lol. I love the colours you've used today so vibrant and autumnal. The pierced edge around your aperture looks gorgeous and those corners are brilliant a clever bit of designing there. I enjoyed watching the video you always break everything down into easy steps for us to follow thank you for that.
Well today I bet there are some very excited people getting ready to go to your demo day ( hope I've got the date right) am I jealous? .................. Well maybe a little bit lol. This time last year I was getting excited because I was going to see you in Haverfordwest, doesn't the time fly?
Hugs x

Thanks for the video, Sue, very effective technique and love the use of the Noble dies. Just lovely.
Yes, Heather, almost a year ago since H/West and wasn't it great? We had weeks of anticipation as we're a bit starved of anything crafty in West Wales, and the day was perfect with lovely sunny weather. Just like now. Have a great time, everyone going to Kettering, not so far to travel for you, Sue!!

Poochies were docile little lambs yesterday for their haircut due I believe to the oppressive heat. Bless them they are laying around near to the fans we have going, I know how they feel as the excessive heat plays havoc with my ability to control my diabetes. Hope everyone stays cool and takes care. To anyone meeting Sue today have a brilliant time.

Rosemary xx
What a great card and fantastic technique. I am determined to try it, especially as I have lots of alcohol inks which I don't seem to be using much. I do have a question, I was wondering if you could do this with colours like blue, purple etc then use your dies to cut out flowers? I hope you read this and can give me an answer. Thank you Sue
Oooh!! I love those vibrant colours
Hi Sue
Brilliant technique, really stands out.

Morning Sue, wonderful card, love this technique, off to watch video.
Take care, Jess x
Hi Sue
Wow, this card certainly catches the eye. I love how this technique looks but as yet haven't had a go doing it.
Good morning Sue, what a great informative video and lovely vibrant card this Thursday. It is actually one of the many technique's of your's I have been 'brave' enough to try (hollyberry - you must have a go its great and so easy) the worst part is waiting for it to dry so you can continue to play with it ! I used 3 shades of blue as a background for a male card and it was so good to see something totally different to what I usually do.
Hope you have a wonderful day with your demo's and to those ladies that are sharing your day with Sue have a brilliant time.
Hope all goes ok for you today Sam. Thinking of you.
Hugs.
Lancashire Steph xx
Hello Sue
This is such a lovely vibrant card and the colours you have used are gorgeous together.
Although I have seen you demonstrate this technique before I have never tried it myself so I really must have a play.
I have just noticed you are just five people short of your next target, Sue! After such a successful Christmas Die Launch it would be great for you to reach 5400 Blog Followers by the weekend.
All it needs is for five more people to sign up to Sue's fantastic Blog In the next couple of days!!!!
Lesley S x
Good morning Sue, this is such a great technique and one I have not yet tried but certainly will now! Such a beautiful card.

GORGEOUS - this is another card that sings to my soul. The technique is superb, colours are fabulous and I love it.
Hugs, Rose
Good morning Sue,
what a fabulous "Caught in Crystal" technique. I will try this of course but I don´t know if I´ll get this cosmic shimmer varnish lacquer here in Germany.
Does anybody know if I can use something different instead?
Thanks and best wishes
Rolf xxx
Fab card today, I love that technique and those colours
are so gorgeous.
Thanks for the video too, I always find your videos so useful.

Hi Sue, a beautiful card. The caught in crystal background is very vibrant. Thank you for the video.
Very colourful, bright and cheerful.
The colours are stunning and so vibrant, I can see why this is one of your favourite techniques.

Good morning Sue,
It has been years since I used alcohol inks and seeing these beautiful autumnal tones really inspires me to fish them out again,just need to refresh my memory with your demo methinks. The noble dies are so versatile and a real essential to any crafting arsenal.
I am pea green with envy at the lucky lucky ladies who are going to spend some time with you today, it is a dream of mine to meet you and I can only hope that you will maybe be able to fit a visit in to Scotland in your busy schedule in the future-knees, fingers, toes and eyes crossed! Have a lovely day though, I am certain it will be unforgettable.
Another cloudy day in Stirling, we seem to be the only place not basking in sunshine at the moment so no sunscreen needed here anytime soon.
Feel a little sad today, my neighbour had to put their 18 yr old cat to sleep yesterday-I gave him a big cuddle before he left but it brought back memories of Gizmo a year ago, they were the same age and the pain is still so fresh. To all with four legged babies, hold them close they are so so precious.
On a brighter note, my brother went to Holyrood Palace yesterday to the Queens garden party- no pictures were allowed for my scrapbook though, but he is visiting today to give me the low down on events.
Off for a bath and to do alibi toe ironing.....unless the sun appears of course, or Andy is playing at Wimbledon!
Have fun wherever or whatever you are doing today.
Love and crafty hugs,
Laine1972xxxxxxx

Hi Sue, I love the caught in crystal technique and the colours you have chosen here are gorgeous. Very autumnal looking and autumn is my favourite season. Would I be wrong in thinking that the noble dies are your favourites? They are popping up everywhere - so versatile.
Lynda - Happy Birthday, I hope you are having a lovely day and are being spoilt.
Lynne M - enjoy the peace while it lasts. It is not as hot here as it is down south but my cats are all flaked out at the moment and last night they seemed to be really happy to go out in the rain!
Saba - there hasn't been a re-occurrence of the e-mail problem, hopefully it was just a blip.

Hi Sue,
This is a technique that I have yet to try, but I really must. This is a gorgeous card - so vibrant, just like autumn too.
Well much cooler today after the storms of yesterday, never seen lightning like last night in England before - it was more like a continental storm with flashes going off all over the place. Hope everyone is well. Happy birthday Lynda have a lovely day.

Beautiful Sue.
So effective Sue. One of those people wonder how did you do that questions. X
Wow, that background is something wild but is sure makes a great looking card...
Thanks for sharing...
Well done Sue
Beautiful card Sue. Great technique.
A very different card today and so vibrant. Will watch the video with care and then have a go myself. Thanks for the idea sincerely Maureen (MEM) B.
Really like this technique have used it in several different colours and it always looks different.
Darn it, Sue,
I've got everything I need to try this out...except the crystal lacquer!! Looks like I'm going to have to place an order for some as I really want to try this out before too much longer. I've seen other methods but yours seems to be the most straightforward and fun way.
The end result is a stunning card today, the colours you chose are so vibrant. Thanks for the video instructions, you're a star!! xx
Love your card Sue. I have tried the caught in crystal technique a few times without much success, I must try it again. My snowflake background and individual snowflake dies arrived yesterday, no prizes for guessing what I've been doing all day.
Regards
Dorianne

Hi Sue an everyone, wow I never seen this before I would like to try it an your card is nice. Thank you Molly oxox
Lovely card and technique for today's post. Have had a go at this technique but not with quite the same results - obviously practice is needed. If my cards could come out half as good as this one I will be happy. Its beautiful.
Hello Sue,
I managed to leave my comments on your die launch but still don't know why there was a delay in receiving your blog.
I think I have recently received a card made with this technique so I am looking forward to watching your tutorial to see how it is done.
Thank you for all the lovely cards you posted with your new dies, still not decided which I can live without.
Fantastic thunder storm here last night...am I the only one who loves watching the lightening flashes? I used to sit in the door way with my gran when I was little so we could watch, I know we always had to have the door open but never knew why.
The garden is having a good watering here and the temperature has cooled down so feeling a bit more energetic than the last couple of days.
Take care everyone keep your fingers crossed for Sue's draws tomorrow .
Love and hugs

Oooh the caught in crystal is so very lovely. What a great tutorial too! Thank you!
Absolutely stunning, I tried this technique, but didn't quite turn out the way I had hoped.xx
Hi Sue
Stunning card, I love the look of this technique but I have no alcohol inks and to be honest, I'm not sure I have the space for a new lot of mediums! I am confident I can find a cheats way, get a similar look with other types of inks and what have you. Just have to get to the damn table first! My to do list is pretty long now as a result. No birthdays til Mr W at the end of the month so there's time (in theory).
Happy birthday Lynda, hope you had a wonderful day, birthday hugs from me and wags n woofs from Billy. Xxxx
Hope those who saw Sue today had an amazing time xxx
To Lynne and anyone else who is finding the heat is affecting their health take care xxx
Hugs to Wilsonettes everywhere, extra hugs here if they're needed xxx

Pause, play, pause, play. .....Me trying to make this card following the video , but really like the technique.
Hello Sue. Such a beautiful card and I can't wait to
try it for myself, I just need a couple more colours
of alcohol inks to get started lol.
Hi Sue lovely to see this technique again one of my favs so addictive once you try it. I remember having sheets and sheets drying all over the house lol, it also takes me back to when I first saw you on TV with your stamping shows and as a stampaholic I do miss your creative flair with stamps and inks, although you are also a genius with dies and card😊? Will watch the video later to see how to Sue style.

lovely bright card and a great technique,Laura O
thank you for this video tutorial. for me it is always easier to understand when i see something. lovely hues in there, hugs xx
Good evening Sue and the wonderful Wilsonettes,
The colours that you have used to make the beautiful coloured background is gorgeous Sue as it reminds me of the beautiful autumn colours that will be upon us soon. I love the bright crisp white of the centre and base against the beauty of the vivid colours that you have used in the caught in crystal technique in the background. I always think this is beautiful Sue as no two come out the same so they are always one offs. On this silly iPad again as the computer once started up downstairs today refused to go onto the Internet hence the lateness of my little comment on today's very much a wonder of Wilson Thank you Sue for giving us another beauty to behold and to introduce some of our new Wilsonettes to the technique as they might not have seen it done before and I must admit to loving it each time as if it were the first because of the always changing designs that it comes up with so naturally on its own.
Hope you have had a lovely week Wilsonettes where ever you are because up here at the Costa de Glenochil we are still awaiting the suns presence as it has been none existent, warm enough but it has been that muggy kind of heat and rain and some smirky stuffy oh and then more rain. Sending hugs to all my Wilsonettes Angels that could do with some right at this present time for whatever reason, I hope that you are back up there with us again soon,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil )

Hi Sue,
You have certainly surprised me on this card.....I have never heard of this technique. After watching the video, I cannot wait to try it myself.
I love the vibrant look - even though they are not my tones that I would normally use. I am going to give this a try definitely.
Thanks for your inspiration as always.
Love and hugs Dorothy Macdonald

Hi Sue,
I'm really late! I missed yesterday altogether !
Internet access is not good where we are just now and I've been struggling!
I love this technique and it works every time - with patience !!
Thank you for reminding us and for sharing it with new crafters.
Happy Birthday Lynda - better late than never!
Thanks Sue, hope you had a lovely time today.
Love Myra xxx
Hi, Sue thanks for the refresher on this technique. A pretty card.
Hugs and best wishes Sue and all the Wilsonettes. Hope you had an enjoyable Birthday Lynda x

Lovely card, lovely colours.
Hi Sue, what a vibrant card. I love the result you have achieved but not sure I can justify an excursion I to more product, ie alcohol inks. Still, never say never!
I am very jealous of you lucky crafters in the UK getting your beautiful dies so soon. They are not available in Australia yet and no one can tell me how long I will have to wait. Sigh!
Have a great day and happy crafting.
Jan from NSW (Aus)
I love this technique but do not use it enough this will inspire me get all my stuff out again and give it a whirl xx
