Good Sunday morning all! I have an unusual colour combo for today's offering, but I thought I would give it a try! I started by embossing a piece of slate grey card using the
Opulent Frame folder. I used
Enchanted Gold Gilding Polish lightly over the top of it. Next, I cut the
Eliza die in white and added an antique gold card backing. I cut the centre die from the set in white and added a slate grey backing to it. I used the
For You shadowed sentiment in white with a grey offset shadow and backed it with the larger white shadow before adding it to the centre of the card. I used the
Layered Carnation to make three dimensional flowers. The edges were tinged with Enchanted Gold gilding polish to tie in with the card. I embellished it with gold leaves. White, grey and gold mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
Just a quick reminder, I am finishing up the ODS on Hochanda today with shows at 9am, 1pm and 5pm. Hope you can join me! All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue and all
Love the effect of the gilding polish on the slate grey today, it reminds me of a fireplace in my grandparents house too many years ago to say exactly how many lol !
The 3D embossing folders look is is such a lovely and different card, beautiful!

Good Morning Sue. How lovely this card is and so different from you. It looks like antique..... well that's the image I am getting here.... but I just love it. And any sentiment would be appropriate if so wished. Great card Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Morning Sue.
Thank you a lovely card.
Thank you for the great shows yesterday, the tv is all set to record today.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Wonderful card Sue xx Hazel
Morning Sue. It maybe unusual but it really works well. That embossing folder is absolutely lush so much depth and detail, it really cries out for guilding polish and such like. I'm loving today's inspiration Sue. Off to market later so lots to organize and get done before it's time to leave. Will be catching up with today's shows later but yesterday's shows were lovely. Enjoy your day and your massive audience awaits you xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wonderful, wonderful shows, I am out at a workshop all day today but will catch up when I get back.
Excellent sample, great technique xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue, such an opulent card with rich colours. The 3d embossing folder is really lovely. Enjoy your time àr Hochanda xx
Hello Sue, excellent card, the embossing folder with the gilding polish gives it a very antique look.
Loved your 12noon show - still to catch up with the launch show of the ODS but I will along with your shows today. Thank you, it is so lovely to see you on our screens again.

Hello Sue,
The embossing from the 3D folder is impressive and colored with the gilding polish it looks like antique metal. The card itself is stunning.
Your shows on Saturday were fabulous. It's always exciting to see the samples that you create and the ones you had for your shows were fabulous. The mermaid cards were so magical and fun. Looking forward to your other shows.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Beverly
A very smart card Sue. I enjoyed your show yesterday and yes, I gave in to temptation 😀. Thank you, enjoy your day.xxx
Hi Sue
A beautiful card, love the colours.
Fabulous mermaid show yesterday. I loved the bubbles background you made for the first demo. I must get some sparkle shakers, they look perfect for me (I’ve tried using glitterbitz but they go everywhere).
Like you I’ve made my own tool for picking up things, but mine is a cocktail stick (toothpick) with a small ball of blu-tak on the end.
Looking forward to catching up with all your shows.

What a super card Sue. I love the colour combination and wouldn't have thought of it myself.. I do have quite a lot of grey card and really should try it with different colours. You really are an inspiration.

Good Morning sue and all
Amazing card this morning and I love the colours you have used on the card. The embossing folder gives the card great depth and I love the little hint of polish. Having the gold card in the background of the Eliza die works beautifully.
Loved your shows yesterday and was lovely to have you back on honchanda and looking forward to days shows.

Hi Sue. Nice card today, the Eliza die cuts such a delicate design. Am watching your 9:00 show and am so amazed by the dies which I thought may be a little tricky to use, but you have made it look so easy. Must go now before I miss anything.
