Get Well

Hello crafters!  Here is an older sample that never had it's day on the blog!  I started with the background and embossed a piece of white card with the Rose Bed embossing folder.  I cut two more strips of white card and embossed them as well.  Using the Summer Sky Opal Polish, I went over the top of the embossing on the strips and then glued them to the edges of the background.  I used the Opal Polish again and covered a small piece of black card and cut out the Eliza die from it.  I added a white backing to it and glued only the edges of it, then cut the circle centre out of it.  I added mounting foam to the die to raise it, then recessed the polished piece from the centre of the card into the aperture.  I used a bit of the left over piece of polished card and cut a thin circular frame and the Get Well sentiment from it.  I glued the frame around the aperture.  Using the Decorative Flag die set, I cut a flag and glued the sentiment to it.  I added it across the centre of the Eliza die.  Using the Cosmos Flowers outline die, I cut two of them then glittered and offset them.  I added the flower to the left side of the sentiment with some Lace Edged Leaves as accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  All for now.

  18. A lovely card Sue. It’s such a shame we can’t see the card in real time. The colours on the first picture look quite muted, it’s not until we see the close ups that the true beauty of the colours emerge. Thank you Sue.

  19. I’m wondering how you managed to create the stripes on the recessed circle....was it pure chance that that’s the way the sponge swiped or was it done on purpose?!

  21. Hi Sue and everyone, I have toagree with the others that this is a classic Sue card and yes I see more than one colour of polish especially on the recessed circle, it definitely looks striped, as Zoe said. Anyway its a very beautiful sample, it certainly brightened my day, hugs Donna xx

  22. Hi Sue. Love the centre of this card, but I am not too sure that the borders are a step too far? I guess I would have had to see the card without them to decide whether it needed something down the sides?

  24. Hi Sue
    Your lovely card really shows the difference between using the opal polish on white card for the borders and then on black card for the rest.

    Love and hugs to everyone

    The opal polishes look great nearly as good as pixie powders which I have to say are my favorites!
