Hi bloggers! I started the background by covering a piece of card with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing off and coated it with
Gemstones Gilding Flakes. I used a piece of
Rubit Scrubit pad to move the flakes all over the background, then to refine the flakes and remove any excess. Next I used the
Double Stitched Squares and set up all of the dies on one piece of coconut white card. The reason I used all of them is that it helps align the dies evenly and then I can use the leftover bits from every other square on another card in the future. I added mounting foam yo the three squares I used and added them to the background. I cut a
Pierced Flag and attached to the inside edge of the smallest square. I cut a white and black version of the
Thank you and glued them together, using the black as an offset shadow. I attached them to the flag. Using the Decorative version of the
Striped Nasturtiums, I made a single flower and added it with white leaves to the end of the flag. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now. Sue x

Beautiful card. Love the background.
Hi again Sue. I really must use my guilding flakes instead of just looking at them in my shelf, yep, my promise for the day. I do love the nasturtium die, a Valentine's gift from 'my keeper' along with matching stamp bless him, it pays to leave a gift list just hanging innocently around lol. Hope you have a lovely warm day, sending hugs and thanks for your lovely daily inspiration xxx

Hi Sue - a great card and I especially like the way you cut all your frames out together, leaving other frames to use later. A great tip from you. Sending best wishes

Good Morning Sue and all.
A beautiful card Sue and one that I may try quite soon. I have Gilding flakes that I've never used so if I can find a clear spot to work in I may well start this very day.
How's that for inspiration eh?
Thank you Sue and have a nice day.

Hello Sue, love the simplicity and elegance of this card. WakeyL
Good Morning Sue. Omg how do you do it....I have 4 man cards to do every March.... this is not the first time you have shown a sample...at this time of the year that has given me inspiration to make something different for these men...And what a great card it is...just by changing the sentiment...I have four great birthday cards. I will be making these cards with just a little twist so they are not exact copies...and looking forward to using my "forgotten guilding flakes" that are also sitting on a shelf like Stephs and Doreen. Thankyou so much Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Good Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes

Hi Sue
Simple yet stunning, love the colours in the gilding flakes and thank you for the tip on using all the Noble square dies at once
Love and hugs to everyone

Hello Sue. What a great geometric design which can be used as a base for so many different designs. You can add flowers for a more feminine design or keep it more simple for those difficult men.
Lisbeth
Hi Sue, something a little different from you today and it is great just as it is or it could be dressed up a little more for someone who would like more frills and flowers. Love the gilding flakes and what a good idea to cut multiple frame dies at once - not sure if my machine would cope but I will definitely give it a go.
Frances
Hi Sue this is a stunning thank you card. I love the design. Take care. Hugs Jackie
A beatiful card. simple, but looks very expensive. The close up shots really show off the use of mounting foam
Margaret R xx
Lovely!
Gorgeous. Gilding Flakes always get a WOW here. Messy but satisfying. Great way to use the dies.
Have a great day to all,

Hi Sue Fabulous card the gilding flakes are beautiful Thank you for the tip to use all the squares together I will try it then perhaps my frames will be even
Such a simple idea Sue. This card looks like it is quite intricate BUT not really, great idea!!!!!
Lovely card design with the gilding flakes. Why does one always need to sneeze when working with gilding flakes? Great advice about lining up all of the dies to get the correct spacing before cutting the dies out. Thanks for sharing and the advice today. Hugs
Must get my gilding flakes out again, a great way to use the dies too! You are so clever Sue!
Great card I really must get the gilding flakes out again!
very pretty card!
Maybe it is time to try the Gilding Flakes since I have some. Thanks for the idea, Sue.
Hugs from cold Toronto to you all

What a gem this card is! No wonder the name of the gilding flakes is "Gemstones." Beautiful! Using the double stitched squares is a great way to let the background of gilding flakes shine! Great card. Hugs!
Like how this card looks. A nice quick card but very eye catching.
