To answer the question I asked of you, I have run into quite a few famous people in my travels including Paul McCartney, Ashton Kutcher, Paul Daniels, Duffy (the Welsh singer), Roger Daltry (from the Who), Fergie (from the Black Eye Peas), Chuck Connors (American actor from the Rifleman series)and Usain Bolt (fastest human alive). All of them were lovely and welcoming! I do have some good stories about the first three on the list, but it would take pages here to tell! I will keep them for another time! LOL All for now Sue x

Morning Sue.
Wow I love the simplicity of this card, thank you.
Well you have met some very interesting people, Sue I forgot
to say you are also one of the famous people I have met too.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I so like this one, I am going to have to get out my gilding flakes, don't use them enough, you have inspired me with this one, thank you.
I bet the stories of your famously meeting people would be great to share around the dinner table - oh if only I could be a fly on the wall.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Beautiful card Sue. Wow you have met a few famous faces on your travels xx Hazel
Morning Sue, playing catch up on all the blog posts I have missed while working away, and lovely to come back to this fabulous and very opulent card. Love it. Have a good day everybody. Bx
Morning Sue, beautiful card, love the gilding flakes! What a lot of interesting people you have met! Would love to hear your stories! Love Jean xxx
Hi Sue. So many people to be admired that wow us with their skills and acheivements and you've met quite a few, when we see them being interviewed I often wonder if they are that nice in 'real life' without having a mic in front of them but after reading so many ore inspiring comments yesterday that told me that the majority are as lovely and genuine as they seem (although I've been told I'm too trustworthy and gullible) lol the story that had me almost in tears was reading CraftyCoffee's amazing life changing story I was transfixed and read it loud to you know who. I have only one person in my bucket - not left, just the one so I have to remain positive.
I can't put into words how gorgeous this sample is, you've taken us way way back to the Sue samples we love so much with the guilding flakes and various frames, it's a true beauty. Whatever your plans for today I hope you really enjoy yourself xxx
Good Morning all, another stunning card, I have become addicted to gilding flakes all because of your stunning cards, so much so I have just purchased 5 tubs in various colours, the one you have today is one of them and can't wait to use them all.
Thank you for giving me so much inspiration.
Lesley
Hello Sue
Like this card and it can be easily adapted into any shape or size using your frame dies
So sorry to both CraftyCoffee, and Craftycruiser. Two 'crafty'names and my brain shrinks even more. What a wonderful memory to relive with Mr Mandela a true hero a wonderful man.
Sorry ladies xx
A beautiful card Sue and those gilding flakes give it a wow factor.

Good Monday morning Sue.
What a delightful card you have showcased today,so clean and crisp.
I remember buying Gilding Flakes when I first began my journey into card making which is about 3 years ago. I don't think I have ever used them so NOW should be the right time to start.
Thank you Sue for your daily inspiration.
Hugs.
Marie P.

Hi Sue, a stunning card this morning. Love the gilding flakes, made me think I must get mine out again as I’ve not used them recently. You have certainly met some interesting people and have wetted my appetite to hear your stories.

Morning Sue,
Lovely to see the gilding flakes back, once more. I do still use mine for certain family members who don't like glitter on their cards.
How different the nasturtium flowers look when you only use the top piece of the die.
After reading your long list of famous people whom you've met, I think that we should all curtsey to you next time we see you (on tv)lol Well, you are the Queen of craft. Hugs xx Pauline
As others have said, must use my flakes
not too!! Lovely card.
So interesting to read yesterdays posts
and yours today Sue, we are a lucky lot,

The gilding flakes add that extra special look to your card xx
Lucky you meeting all of those famous people
Lovely card I haven’t played with gilding flakes in ages I love how you’ve only used one “sheet” to create this
Delightful card today with plenty of WOW factor. I do love gilding flake when someone else uses. Not crazy about using myself. Just me.
Have a great day everyone!
Stephanie K
This is a lovely card Sue, the gilding flakes really add a sparkle x
Hi Sue, a brilliant card and I love the floating frame look. Gilding flakes are always so impressive and I wish that I remembered to use mine more.

Gorgeous card Sue, love the color of the gilding flakes that you chose. Amazing!!!
Such a beautiful card love the brightness of the flakes
My goodness, you have met lots of famous people. You get around lady! I'm liking this design. I like the way the gilding flake pieces are floating over the embossed piece. I also like the color of this gilding flake product. I think I have this color in my stash. Great color for the fall. Thanks for the inspiration.
Stunning post....

Elegant card.Love the flakes and the nasturtium look beautiful. I really like the idea to add a piece of acetate to the largest frame, looks nice and elegant.Have to check where to find this lovely Ribbon Swirls embossing folder.Thank Sue for the inspiration.

Hi Sue. Love the impact of this card even though it is quite simple on the face of it. I haven't seen the Verdigris gilding flakes (I don't think) and I will certainly be searching them out in the future.
I am very impressed with the long list of famous people you have met and pleased to hear how genuine they all were in real life.
Lisbeth
What a lovely card. I haven’t used my gilding flakes in ages. X
Hello Sue,
What a simple but elegant card today. Gilding flakes are such an easy way to turn something ordinary into extraordinary. The simplicity of the design makes the gilding flakes the star.
Have a wonderful day.
Beverly
Sue, I LOVE this card!! I am going to get my gilding flakes out first thing in the morning to put my spin on it! No...I will get them now!! That way, I will be reminded in the morning....lol.....the memory is not what it was..... :( Jo. xx
Hi Sue. WOW !!! I love your card today. I used my gilding flakes just last week but I have to admit it was the first time in quite a while. I love the look of the Verdigris gilding flakes. I don't have that particular one and it is lovely. I do love your idea of using rectangles or other nesting dies covered with the gilding flakes to make a card. That is such a fab idea Sue and one I have never thought of doing before. I cannot remember seeing the Ribbon Swirls EF before. I think I may have to go and look that one up. As always Sue your flowers are beautiful, and your leaves to. I am often using your Lacey leaves dies as I think they are so pretty. Thank you for sharing your beautiful card today.
I have to say I really love yesterday's card to. Beautiful colours that you used. I love it all. Lots of love to you Sue love Tres x x x
Hi Sue,
Stunning card! I love the Verdigris gilding flakes.
Thank you for sharing.

Love this and a perfect male card - also you have two more frames for use on other cards.
Hugs Helen xxx
Although Verdigris comes at the bottom of the list of my gilding flakes list, I do like the design and make up of this card. I think I might be tempted to pull out my now sadly discontinued favourite from my stash and attempt to reproduce this.
Teresa
Hi Sue.
A gorgeous card with gilding flakes which I still haven't mastered.
As I'm working in our kitchen it is a bit tricky with these things
and glitter is a starter for us at many meals Lol
I must go back and see what you asked for, you have met so many famous
people in your line of work. I am quite boring for haven't met many but
the most important people are You,Julia,John and many more in the crafting
world !
hugs Maria x
Hi Sue,
Such a great use of gilding flakes, which I don't use nearly enough. Thanks for the inspiration.
