For You

Hi crafters!  I started with a piece of card and used the Blue Wisteria Opal Polish all over it and allowed it to dry well.  Next, I embossed it using the Daisy Patch Mask through the die cutting machine on the emboss setting.  I kept the mask taped to the card and used Black Soot Distress oxide ink through the mask to highlight it a bit (it is very subtle, not a dark black at all on the opal polish).  I used the Decorative Squares die set and cut the two  smallest sizes out of coconut white card.  I added mounting foam to the larger one and seated it in a square orientation in the centre and used the smaller one in the middle in a diamond orientation.  I cut the For You Sentiment out of an extra piece of the Opal Polish background and glued it into the middle of the card.  I cut two of the Splendid Swirls and added them in opposite corners as accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  Thee finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  7 1/4" in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue and all that visit today hope life is being kind to you all.
I need to build up my folder collection that's for certain, sometimes I like everything plain, very plain but I also love to add texture and there are so many beautiful folders that have passed me by, and your decorative square dies are just gorgeous Sue, it's not until you see samples made with various dies that the beauty of the design shows and makes you see them in a different light and boy is the light making me want this collection, you're so naughty but so clever I can't help but forgive you lol. Hope you are both keeping well and your family are safe and well too......

STAY SAFE BE SENSIBLE KEEP CARING KEEP CRAFTING xxx ❤

I must buy some of that Wisteria polish, it is lovely and when I can't get the wisteria card, I could make my own. Brilliant.
The subtlety of the black soot ink really adds a further dimension to the daisy background.

Hi Sue
I am so in love with the opal polishes and this is such a pretty colour card. The decorative squares are shown off to perfection on this relatively clean and simple card and I’m loving the Splendid Swirls - a bit of a blast from the past.
Take care and stay safe everyone x
