So here is a card to help celebrate Susan's special birthday.
I made the background sometime ago with a MFT background stamp, gold heat embossing and brushos. I turned it into a card when I acquired this frame die by Pinkfresh Studios, it is cut from gold pearlescent card. It is finished with a gold heat embossed sentiment on vellum.
I think the card has a very luxurious feel to it which is very suitable for a special birthday. In fact this card was sent to the wonderful Carol (Crafty Stamper) a couple of months ago. I hope it is not too cheeky to share it here for Susan's birthday.
Happy belated birthday Susan.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Fab card Hilary!
Beautifully done, Hilary.
What a textural and luxurious card Hilary x.
wowzer what an amazing card, just stunning. xx
Oh wow, the stamp and de die are both beautiful! And all the gold embossing, its very delicate, I think.
Since this year I made every week 1 , sometimes 2 Christmascards. I (have to) send many cards and in this way I haven't any stress at the end of the year...
Absolutely stunning card, Hilary! I know Susan will treasure it!
Beautiful Hillary, love all the colours and layers of your background and I'm sure Susan loves it :)
I am exactly the same making them out of season Hilary and as we do Christmas TV samples in May/June I always make my own about now for the following year otherwise I know they would probably never get done.
There is such a lovely rich luxurious feel to this with the colours and gold embossing and then white overlaid die cuts really draw the eye in. Beautifully done.

Your card is stunning!!! I'm impressed by the extraordinary effect and the noble touch of the entire card!
What a pretty, leafy frame, Hilary! Love how the gold pearl leaves play off that gorgeous background!
Hilary!! This is absolutely exquisite! LOve the dramatic colors of the Brushos you've used on this gorgeous background - one day I'll be brave enough to buy those! The leafy frame sets it off beautifully!
Well done, my friend - can't imagine that Susan won't love it, too!

Not too cheeky at all, Hilary, to share it for my birthday link-up. I'm thrilled you thought it was worthy of posting in honour of my 70th. It truly does have a luxurious feel with the gold pearlescent frame and gold heat embossing, and the wonderful rich colours of the background. Thank you for joining in!
Gorgeous card Hilary! LOVE the colours of your brushos background. So bold and beautiful. They look amazing with the gold heat embossed images. Love the gold leafy frame as well. Thanks for joining in Susan's Linky Birthday Party! xx
Oh, my word, that's a gorgeous card, Hilary! The gold embossing and colors are amazing! After having my head buried in Christmas cards these last few weeks I definitely plan to be more active in the CAS Christmas card challenge in 2021!
