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

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, beautiful sample today, I like the luster polish, although I always seem to get myself in a mess with it, I think I am too heavy handed.

Hello Sue
I am not usually a fan of your 3d embossing folders but this card is lovely.Stephanie I think you need a big virtual hug you are in my thoughts
Morning Sue. That lustre polish looks amazing and really highlights the depth of your embossing folder.
Lovely to see the return of the nasturtium flowers as I use mine regularly.
Great card. Enjoy the rest of your day. Hugs xx Pauline
Good morning Sue Fabulous card I love the rich look of the lustre polish over the embossing folder Also love the nasturtiums Sorry I haven't commented for a few days I have my daughter and family staying and have had a few lovely but busy days Hope you all have a lovely Sunday
Good Morning Sue. What a striking card today Sue. And so different for you...but it suits you...I love it. My mum always used to say "there is nothing smarter than navy and white"...looking at this I think she was right. And I don't know where I would be without my Just For You die. I use it many times. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

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
A very striking post. Very unusual and love it.
Hi 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.
Frances
Hi Sue,

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.
