Good Sunday morning all! I have been playing with the
Lustre Polish for this one! I started with a piece of black card and embossed it with the
Splendid Swirls 3D embossing folder. Next I used the
Blue Allure Lustre Polish over the top of it and gave it a quick polish with a piece of kitchen roll to bring out the lustre. I used the Lustre Polish directly onto another piece of black card and covered an area large enough to cut my flowers from it. I cut the solid backing for the
Striped Nasturtiums out of it, then cut the top striped area from white card and glued the together. I added the flowers in opposite corners of the card. I cut
Fern Fronds and Trailing Ivy as well as a few leaves and embellished the flowers. I cut the
Just For You sentiment in white and glued it to the background. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now Sue x

Hi Sue, well if ever you wanted the wow factor, this is certainly it. Love the shade of blue of the lustre polish. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteA very striking post. Very unusual and love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, sorry I didn't comment yesterday but I really like the card and your die-cut background looks great, I intend to try this technique soon. Today's card grabs you as soon as you see it and although your dies are gorgeous I think the lustre polish is the star of this show.

Hi Sue. Love the way the white flowers and leaves really pop against the dark background. Those nasturtiums are my favourites of your flower dies so I am probably being a bit biased when I say I love this card.
