Hello my crafty friends! Today's card is a soft yellow (
custard card) base, not a colour that I use often enough I think! I started by embossing the background with a mask called
Fanciful. I moved it along to do the entire background for a bit of texture. Next I stamped the
Cabbage Rose Frame stamp (drawn by John Lockwood) and heat embossed it in white. I used
Distress inks to overlay some colour on to the leaves in a general way, not staying within the lines. I stamped it a second time and this time, cut out several of the flowers to raise them up. I used
Distress markers to colour them (
Tattered Rose and Worn Lipstick) which looked nice against the white embossing. I cut a
St Lucia die in white and cut it in half horizontally and layered my stamped image on top so it was peeking out from underneath. I added small
White PVA glue dots to the tips. I stamped my sentiment and covered it with a
sticky adhesive sheet, then coated it with
Diamond Sprinkles before die cutting it. I added it to the open area in the stamped focal element with some mounting foam. I wrapped a piece of
white satin ribbon around the bottom of the card, added a double bow and a
white crystal Sparkler to the centre. Two matching
Stick pins were made and added to the bow (they are actually yellow, but look rather greenish in the pics!) The remainder of the card is just the paper piercing, a thin custard card mat and my final white mat. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
The winner of this week's Wednesday Card Giveaway is:
Sandie Braithwaite!!!

Hi Sue.
Happy Saturday. You have bought a ray of sunshine to our grey wet day in Lancashire with this sunny card, the St Lucia die is gorgeous it almost looks like little bits of lace showing through in parts.
Well done and many congrats to Sandie on your Wednesday win - sit back, stare, and enjoy Sue's work of art.
Beth I have no idea what has been going on in your world to upset you but try to keep your chin up.
Love to you Sue.
Lancashire Steph xx
Morning Sue
I love the composition and the dies you have used on today's gift but I'm afraid today's colour palette isn't me.
I shall try using a different colour scheme and see what emerges.
Congratulations to this week's very lucky Wednesday Winner.
To all in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Good morning Sue,

Hi Sue & Lovely Wilsonettes
What a fabulous & very interesting card Sue, this is by no means crowded but it has so many lovely details to it that every time I look at it my eye is drawn to yet another beautiful detail...like looking at a painting that draws you to one spot then another & as I love reading into paintings (had to write about them during my Uni courses some time ago) then this is a massive compliment & a sincere thank you to your talents, you really are treasured by us all Sue, after all that is what this blog is really all about & I for one can’t wait for this new channel dedicated to CE...just hope I can get Freeview channel 39 (Hochanda) Home of Crafts Hobbies And Arts. What a great name, so apt x x x
SANDIE B; Congratulations on winning Sue’s gorgeous WG card, you are so lucky, am I a little envious, YES, lol, but I am pleased for you...bet you already have a spot picked out for it...enjoy your fab prize x x x
“You are a treasured friend” – right back at you Sue & to all fabulous Wilsonettes friends, even our newest friends, especially more so to those who wrote such wonderful caring, supportive & encouraging comments, there were so many kind messages that without mentioning names (you know who you are...lol) I would like to convey a SINCERE THANK YOU x x x to each & every one of you & I hope that I can always be there for all our friends for whatever reason, if only we could all of us meet up one day what a great spectacle it would be & what a laugh we would have x x
I also want to reassure you that I was not so much offended by the comment, more a little shocked & a little upset I suppose, simply because at that point of reading it I had persuaded myself that maybe my posts were a load of boring drivel & were just too lengthy for many...BUT HEY!!! That is dust swept under the carpet now...OOOOH I did that literally a few times when I was little more than knee high...lol
I would also like to convey a huge welcome to our new Wilsonettes...please stay with our lovely family... Sue shares her beautiful & amazing talents with us through her cards & videos with amazing designs, techniques, hints & tips & we would all hate for you to miss out on these daily treasures because of a comment glitch...besides Sue is so generous it is our way of showing her support & gratitude...so again Welcome to our new found friends x x x
My Teal GC turned up yesterday so couldn’t wait to have a play...tried EF – ok; tried cutting the die – ok, Tried embossing die...now here’s where I had a senior moment & let myself down yet again (do you remember when I did this at Julia’s workshop) I placed the noble die in with card put to GC turned handle nothing happened, tried again..Oh lordy...nothing again...my thoughts...flaming machine what’s wrong with you (just had to blame the tools & not the craftswoman...lol) DUH!!! Then I remembered my previous mistake, made the changes & hey presto...have I learned from my mistake...think not...will I do it again probably...lol...
Anyways my friends I will close for now until tomorrow...take care Love ‘ n’ (((HUGS))) to you Sue, your family & to our family of Wilsonettes Beth B x x x x x
Good Morning Sue

no seriously I hope you get the problem sorted out & hope your back with us soon
Take care love 'n' (((HUGS))) Beth x x x
So pleased to see you use this stamp Sue. I have it, but have never decided how to use it, as it's exactly the same size and shape as the St Lucia die. Your idea to cut the die and use it that way is marvellous. Pretty card.
gorgeous card Sue love the colours and design xx hazel
Wonderful card! The whole card has a soft gentle feel to it. I like the custard colour and the frame embossed in white looks lovely. Great use of the die. Debra x
Beautiful and elegant card. Love the pins to.

Great news about the new craft channel, and no Jackie( Durrant) you aren't the only one who didn't know another craft channel was starting lol, that should give C&C something to think about, it' s been getting very same old, same old for a while, and who do they think they are kidding with some of their prices!!!! Just have to sort out how to get Freeview on my TV .
Back to today's card, not sure about this one, I think it' the colour, sorry Sue.

Very pretty
Good to see you using a different colour, Sue. It looks great.
Exciting times ahead for the CE team - are we likely to see a "classroom" type show? That would be great.
Anne (Northampton)
I love custard!!! xxxx
A lovely card Sue. Congratulations to Sandie.
Good morning Sue, I love the colour combo but I'm not sure about the stamp tho. Hope all goes well with the new crafting channel,looking forward to it. Thank you for your speedy reply to my e-mail. Best wishes.
Gorgeous card Sue, very fresh looking. Would be a delight to whoever received it.
Lovely card again. Perfect colours for summer. The new stamps are fab. Love the roses. Have a nice crafty weekend everyone x Annie P
Morning Sue, not a great lover of yellow cards, but have to say this is a pretty card. Love John's Stamp set and the St. Lucia die is beautiful
Wendyx
Hi Sue,
Lovely card, but the yellow's not for me, a nice blue now that would do it :-)
Lorna D
Morning Sue, its a rather a dull day and we are probably in for a bit of rain, but your card has bought some sunshine into it, Im not a lover of custard coloured card but youve done a fabulous job with the stamp and the background they go together beautifully. hugs Shirleyxxx
Beautiful card, and I adore the yellow, so summery
Hi Sue,
I don't think my monitor is doing the colours justice here but it seems to be clashing the olive in the rose leaves against the soft yellow of the custard card, I'm sure this is much prettier in real life and lovely to see the St. Lucia again, it gives such an unusual framing for the focal point...
Congratulations to Sandie B...
A new crafty channel?...I've booked my seat on the sofa, good luck to the CE team, hope it's a great success with more demo time and less of the hard-sell techniques...just hope we don't crash their website with our orders!...lol
Izzy
Hi Sue. Lovely card today. Congrats to Sandie. Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx
Hi Sue,
This card is lovely, John's stamps are gorgeous, and go so well with your dies and embossing folders.
Congratulations to this weeks winner
I've been reading up about the new craft channel sounds so exciting let's hope it is. Looking forward to seeing more of you all on TV .
Have a great weekend.
Maggie
I feel for you Beth I really do, its horrible to go through that. Try to stay strong no matter how hard it is, you come over as the strong type, so Im sure you will come through it, I hope you will anyway x
hugs.
Lancashire Steph xx
I love the colour combination and the stamp is lovely. Have used the St Lucia die and love the effect it gives. Congrats to the winner. Jxxx
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
A gorgeous card today Sue, you should use soft yellows more often, they are such a calming colour (I especially love the banana shade).
Beth, don't take any notice of distractors who hide behind anonymity, they are generally not very nice people who only goal is to make others as miserable as themselves. Life is too fleeting to worry about them.
You have every right to comment as much as you want to. I enjoy reading your little stories, you come across as such a friendly, delightful person and I do wish you would pop into the café for longer chats.
Congratulations to Sandie, I am sure you are delighted with your win. Enjoy it my dear, one of Sue's cards are an item to treasure.
It's our Village Flower show today and I have a stall of cup candles that I made to sell and raise funds for Cardiomyopathy UK in memory of my beautiful Pete. At our Church Fete, I made £115 selling them so am hoping that today's event will be well attended.
However you are spending your weekend, make time for yourselves, in our busy lives as Mums,Grans and Nannies, we sometimes forget to say 'Whoa, it's time for me now'.
Love & hugs to all
Cheryl xxx
Morning Sue, great news about the new channel, look forward to watching it. Today's card looks lovely, but I don't think my monitor is doing justice to the colours.

To My Very Special Friend Sue,
What Can I Say Other Than Its Great To See A Touch Of

Lovely card Sue, that custard is such a pretty shade. Great idea to stamp and cut out some of the roses and they look so pretty in the colours that you've used. Fabulous news about the CE team appearing on Hochanda, hopefully we will see a lot more of you all. Pat x
Oh what a pretty card!
Doreen R
Hi Sue,
Lovely card this morning. Reminds me of a sunny day - if only the weather would take the hint! Very gray day here in Durham. Looks more like Autumn than Summer.
Beth pleased that you seem much happier today - hope that you feel better too.hugs to you.x
Congratulations to Sandie on winning the card - I know you'll enjoy it.
Hope everyone has a good day, love and hugs to you all, Alison xx
I think the card is very pretty - a fun change of pace. The colors are very sunny-so it gives me a light happy feeling. I too forget about how much I like stamping, especially embossing, because I've gone so die crazy.
I have questions tho...I didn't know you could emboss with masks. I also don't know if I'll be able to get the new channel in the U.S. I only recently heard about Create & Craft and it seems they've only recently started having a channel in the U.S. I've never been able to locate it on the television even tho our provider supposedly has it. I've only been able to watch it on the computer (which isn't in a comfortable location for much watching). The U.S. Schedule never matched what I would hear about on the blog, so I don't catch the specials anyway. I guess I'll b in the same boat regardless of the channel. Im not sure why I'm going on about that- other than to whine once again about not having unlimited access to Sue's dies. Whining is so unbecoming, I guess I'll stop (for now ;)
Does going on the new channel mean you won't be on Create & Craft? Will they still carry some of your products? Here's a cheerful thought, maybe the new channel's website will have even more of your designs and maybe I'll be able to order from them. That would be exciting! I'm falling asleep writing this (it's 2:40am here) - hopefully this post is isn't putting anyone else to sleep! Good day to all!

Hi Sue,
Lovely card , custard is one of my favourite colours, so pretty.
Really pleased to hear about the new channel, (it's about time C/C had some competition). Just a bit disappointed that Freeview has fewer hours(9am-4pm)as this is the only way I can watch it.
Congrats to Sandie, enjoy your card.

Super card today Sue - at first glance it looked almost fluffy! Then the roses looked 3D until I looked hard, so it was quite a different card to what I originally thought, and cleverly done! Great for the UK postage rates these days, which spoil our enjoyment of the 3D flowers unless hand delivered.
Brilliant news about Hochanda, I have the launch set to record in case I forget it, but I doubt if I will. Definitely looking forward to a 'rival' company, and I am wondering if they will be delivering to Ireland, and what the cost might be.
Congrats to this weeks winner too, I treasure my card that you made!
Good morning Sue, a beautiful sunny card today!Take care Jane B.
Good Morning Sue. I love this card. Custard used to be one of the favourites but nice so see again. Delightful. Mavis L xx

Another soft on the eye card. Love the combination of custard and rose colours. For some reason when I read the instructions and looked at the card again I thought of strawberries and custard, another thing I am found of at this time of year. Kind regards Sandra Kent.
Lovely colours. So spring like.
Looking forward to the new channel. Hopefully we will see more of your gorgeous creations

Hi Sue,
What a lovely card! I thought it was only me who didn't use custard card often enough!
It's one of those cards which is going to look so much better in real life . I know they all do but I'm not getting the clear lemon colour which I know is there. Love the stamp too .
I'd like to return that message to you.
Cheryl hope you have a good sale today.
Maureen hope you have a brilliant day too - you have put hours of work in.
Saba - safe journey home my friend!
Sandra - keep enjoying the sunshine!
Love to all kind ladies on th blog!

Good morning! This is such a beautiful sunny card! I have to say I love reading your blog and all of the wonderful comments.

Thank you for brightening my days!

Beautiful color! Yes, Sue, you do need to use it more often. Very bright and cheerful. Do you make your own stickpins? Trying to find some jewelry findings to make some but can't seem to find any.
Beautiful Card Sue!

Hope you are keeping well.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X

I have just bought some custard card and I love the colour but then I am a big pastel fan.
Looking forward to the new channel launch as C&C has got too big for their boots!!!!
Hi Sue
Very pretty card and great news about the new craft channel, looking forward to the launch
Beth don't know what happened but I hate the thought of people being upset on what is a lovely friendly blog, I love reading everyone's stories.
Norah missing you and your hills
Congratulations Sandie, I bet you're delighted to win one of Sues beautiful cards
Hugs and best wishes everyone

Hello Sue.
A beautiful card and I love the colours. The St. Lucia die looks lovely peeping from behind the Cabbage Rose Frame. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations to Sandi Braithwaite, I'm sure you will be as excited as I was. Thank you for doing this Sue it is so generous.
I am so pleased to hear Creative Expressions are going to be on Hochanda, I hope they appreciate the crafter's and don't get to big for their boots as another channel did. A bit of competition is usually a good thing.
Hi Sue
Not a colour I'd use, I like it, yellow was my late nannas favourite colour so it is special to see a card she would have loved. Everything is so pretty, slightly vintage looking and she'd have loved every bit of it. By default I love it too- especially as I'm a sucker for a stick pin!!!
Congratulations Sandie xxx
Maria, the sunshine is lovely- the blue cloudless sky the other side of the window automatically makes me feel better but it's only to look at or sit in a shady doorway. I can't handle the bright light without my "so dark it's ridiculous sunglasses", and if I get to hot I stay hot. In a way a relief as being a natural shade of pasty white (my Gaelic heritage I reckon!) that goes red and peely at the meerest thought of the sun. I like shade and Billy, as much as he likes to sunbathe gets very hot very quickly and spents the rest of the day acting like a grizzly toddler grizzling as it's too hot for a walk, because Mr W had the gall to go lay down on the bed and didn't take him too, because it's too hot to laze in the sun all day... its now 4:15pm so the poor lad can go out again and as I see the trees shimmering in the north sea breeze I will let him out. He'll find a spot in the shade and go to sleep, waking up to bark insanely at people who have just got off the bus and are walking home. I'm hoping to see some of the little blue butterflies Mr W saw this morning and hope that the local residents decided against a trip into town today!
That's me then, Billy wants to loungeand a shady, breezy doorway sounds like heaven! Everyone, enjoy your weekends, hope you are all ok and hugs, hugs for everyone!

Pretty design but the colours aren't showing up too well on my phone.
Looking forward to seeing the new craft channel.
Take care everyone.
I'm new to posting on here, I'm a big fan Sue and this is a fab card as always xx
Hello Sue,
Love your card. I have some yellow card, I have to say it wouldn't be the first colour I would pick, your beautiful card has made me think I must give it a try!!!
Congratulations to Sandy. I am sure you will love your card when it arrives.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend, love and hugs, Brenda XXX
Hi Sue
Just catching up with all the comments and find that my earlier comment has disappeared into cyberspace! Will try again.
I like the design of the card but not too fussed on the colour, sorry. I am sure it is beautiful in the 'flesh' though. Looking forward to seeing all the CE team on the new channel. Hope you have more demo time than on C and C.
Congrats to Sandie. Enjoy!

Hi Sue
A very cheerful looking card,made me feel quite sunny.
Hi Sue and everyone
Lovely fresh card today, not too sharp a yellow, custard is definitely a good name for it.
Congratulations to Sandie for winning the Wednesday giveaway!
Been a bit tired today, so off to have an early night. Should say we're two hours ahead of the UK!
See you tomorrow

Hi Sue
I got your 'silent night ' die through the post today I'd forgotten I'd ordered it so a nice surprise!
Great card today. I don't use yellow often either mainly as my mum doesn't like the colour.
Love the cabbage roses you have coloured and the stick pins are pretty too.
Looking forward to the new craft channel and I'm very glad creative expressions are going to be on it :)
I look forward to all of your and your colleagues shows I'm very pleased it's ggoing to be on the freeview channel too as it means I will be able to watch it.
Love and hugs from Katie-Louise sweetlove
Good evening lovely Sue and fabulous Wilsonettes,
Well, I'm aware that this colour choice hasn't been to everyone's taste but I think the soft pastel coloured custard card is simply divine. I bought it myself a couple of weeks ago and have to say that in reality and natural daylight it is creamy, luscious and feminine.
The contrast between the custard colour and the soft green of the foliage isn't as defined as I would imagine it to be in reality, some shades don't photograph as well as others I guess, but in saying that , I really love the design of your card and Johns stamp also deserves a mention. Oh, and nice to see the stick pins featuring again, I've missed them cos they add a touch of real elegance to the finished design.
I've had a manic day today, whilst I like to keep busy today has really taken the biscuit! Good news is that the boiler seems to be fixed so hot water flows again..yeah! A warm bath instead of a tepid endurance test:-)
Had my weekly caci treatment-guaranteed to make you look 10 years younger in the space of an hour....or in my case, less like Dot Cotton and more like Angelina Jolie.....I wish! Then I trotted off to M&S to get my little darlings their prawns for their supper-the cats get al a carte we get beans on toast:-) Finally, we had some unexpected visitors so I have literally just about drawn breath and settled down for a night catching up on the athletics...exciting, I know!
Beth, Maria, Theresa- sorry you didn't manage to get my comment yesterday, I posted it as normal in the morning and by mid afternoon it had disappeared!!?? I have no idea why, but it is nice to know someone caresxxxx
I was livid about your treatment by our anonymous contributor Beth, so I am glad you have chosen to dismiss their spiteful diatribe, there is no place for that kind of spineless vitriol on this wonderful blog and your posts are one of the most entertaining each day sweetie, and I for one look forward to reading themxxxx
Cheryl, hope your stall was well received, what a worthy causexxx
Rebecca, maybe you could get the new channel on the internet, and they also might post overseas too, fingers crossed. I am so excited about its launch next week..whoop..de...do!
Yvonne, I was courageous yesterday and went for the chop- I am hoping that I don't look butch and manly with my cropped tresses though, otherwise i May have to invest in a wig!:-)
Have a lovely evening everyone, hugs to allxxxx
Crafty hugs and kisses,

Beautiful card Sue. Love the colours. Thank you for showing it today.
Hi Sue. Todays card is beautiful !! I love the custard colour card you have used. The stamp looks lovely, I love the colours you have used to colour it in with. I really like how you have decoupaged the Roses on the stamp. The St Lucia die is fab and produces such wonderful results. I am not to sure about the mica mask. I am not sure if I like pattern of it. I have several beautiful masks I could use instead to recreate this beautiful card. The ribbon and dazzler are great and your stick pins are really beautiful Sue !! Thanks for sharing a really great card today Sue.
I am sorry Sue but I cannot even remember if I commented on your gorgeous Christmas cards yesterday. I can remember seeing them but that is all !! If I didn't I would like to say that I absolutely loved them both. The first card that you used navy blue and white for with the Noble Dies is one of my absolute favourite Christmas cards that you have made to date !! I really fell in love with it !! And it was not even in the Traditional Christmas colours that I usually like or use !! I love the other card to. Especially the stamped part and the lovely big ribbon. Thank you so much Sue for sharing all these Wonderful cards with us.
I have heard the news about the new Crafting channel and I really cannot wait to see all my favourite Creative Expressions demonstrater's on TV !! Sue, you are of course at the top of the list as I so love all your work !!
Sending you lots of love and hugs today Sue from Tres x x x
Sandie, congratulations to you for winning Sue's Wonderful Wednesday giveaway card !! Lots of love from Tres x x x
Sending lots of love and hugs to all the Wonderful Wilsonettes today from Tres x x x
Beautiful card today, I love the summery yellow which I must say is unusual to see
but gorgeous. The colours you have used have really bought out the lovely detail on the stamped image.
So pleased to hear creative expressions are going to be on the new craft channel and can't wait to see you , john, phill and Julia demoing on there.
Hi Sue, lovely card an yes use the custard card more I think it's a really lovely pastel colour, the card is beautiful, so pleased your going to be on th new channel I hope we get to see loads of your cards an demos along with the rest of the CE team. Take care Melody xxxXxxx
Hi Sue
Such a pretty card today and the custard card is an unusual colour but it works well. Thank you so much for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Hi Sue, I was sure I had left a comment this morning but I think I may have just been distracted and forgotten. I love custard! John's stamps are lovely but I am not too sure about the colour you have used for the roses, it may just be my computer and I am sure it looks perfect in real life.
Congratulations Sandie on being the Wednesday Winner. You may not get much crafting done for looking at and stroking your card :-)

Hi Sue,

I do love the color Sue! Very simple but yet very elegant!!
This card turned out to be a real beauty. You have a great ability and imagination when you design your cards. You are blessed.
That's beautiful Sue. Doesn't the White die look lovely sticking out from under the roses?!
Thanks for sharing.
Big hug
