Good Sunday morning all! I have been playing with some of our newest Opal Polishes and have come up with a nice technique too. I started with a piece of black card and coated it with the
Blue Wisteria Opal Polish. I allowed it to dry well, then taped the
Feathered mask over it. I embossed the mask into the polish by running it through my Platinum machine . Next, I used a smoothie and added
Black Soot Distress Oxide ink through the mask. I doesn't come off incradibly dark against the polish but there is just enough to bring the pattern out. I cut the
Striped Nasturtiums out of white card and added the striped top piece by cutting them out of some leftover card made with the polish. I added a black stamen part and a pearl to comlete each flower. I arranged the flowers in the corner then cut white
Lace Edged Leaves and used them as accents around the flowers. I added the
Especially for you sentiment in black in the corner. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

Fabulous card Sue xx Hazel
Oh that effect looks great Sue x
Hi Sue. Black card as the base? Really? Shouldn't the Polish be renamed 'Magic Polish' it certainly does magical things to various coloured cardstock, then you add to the magic by embossing your stencil, all that even before you put all the elements together - amazing, but the design is beautifully simple that would celebrate any occasion. Sending calm peaceful love to you and all that visit our special place today.

Good Morning Sue.
Yet another beautiful card
The background is adorable and the flowers too.
I wish there were more words to describe such excellence, but I guess I'll have to settle for "Thank You Sue"
Have a good day.

What a stunning card today I do like these opal polishes but a bit weary about buying as my other ones dried up when I was ill and couldn't do any card making for a couple of months and I did spritz them
Sending love and healing hugs to all that need them xx
Hope you all have a good day and stay safe

Hi Sue, a beautiful card to brighten up a rather dull day. It is amazing what you can create from a piece of black card, as Steph says 'it's magic'.
Happy Mother's Day to all in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Hi Sue. There is something very pleasing about these simple cards with an embossing folder background and a simple embellishment that you have been showing us recently. Not only do they show of the wonderful embossing folder patterns but the different ways you have come up with to decorate them are encouraging us all to fetch them out from the bottom of our storage and start using them again. Thank you
Lisbeth
Hi Sue
Beautiful card. Love the opal polish and with the hint of black soot, it looks great.
Love Helen xxx
Love this card Sue. The more I see you work with opal polishes the more intrigued I am, will have to give it a go.
Fantastic card design. I love it when you come up with a new technique. You achieved an amazing deep embossing using your mask to emboss. What weight card did you use to get this depth from the mask? I will have to try this. Happy Mother's Day. Hugs
Hi Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Love the card colours and the flowers
Beautiful card using a great technique.
Teresa
Lovely card and an interesting techniques to try. X

I would have never picked up on the Black Soot over the opal polish. In any event, a pretty card. Nice flowers and a lovely embossing folder. I always notice your pretty folders.
Have a Happy Mother's Day,
Stephanie K
