Hello bloggers! Remember the card I shared with you a few days ago? This card uses the exact same technique with the Opal Polishes, so you can see them in action!
The finished dimensions are 7" x
8 1/2" in size. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I am so looking forward to this video to see the techniques or how you made this beautiful card, I love watching your video's because they give so much inspiration and reminds of us different techniques especially when you refer back to them after not doing something for a long time, sorry sounds like I am waffling but I think you know what I mean. Love the colour choice.

Hi Sue Thank you for the great video sharing how you achieved that gorgeous background, loving the effect of the opal polishes so might have to invest in some. Your card is beautiful

The opal polishes make such a lovely and unique colored layer for one's design. Great video. Gorgeous card, too. I had watched this video earlier and of course, I watched it again today. I used your technique with the opal polishes to achieve the sea for my "Pickled Pink" tropical sample card with the flaminos. I thought it made a perfect ocean. Thank you for sharing. Hugs
Hi Sue, a beautiful card and the usual quality video. The Opal Polishes certainly make a wonderful background and I love the effect you have when you cut it with your dies as well.
