Northern Lights Card


Hi bloggers!  I just love doing cards with a Northern Lights sort of technique.  I have used the Lustre Polishes to create today's card and I love the way it looks!  I think this would be quite an easy one to do for batch cards too!


























The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

    Hi Sue
    Oh that ‘Northern Lights’ technique is such a joy to behold. I remember you creating this kind of background with the Colour Clouds but you have just ramped things up by using the Lustre Polishes. FAB-YOO-LUSS!!!
    Look forward to watching you create this masterpiece later x
    Happy Tuesday everyone x

    Good morning Sue,
    A beautiful card and fantastic video. I will certainly watch it again later, you have explained it so well that it is a pleasure to watch it 'Grow'
    I have everything except the Lustre Polish which I'm sure I can buy on line.

    Have a great day.

    Hi Sue. I love the northern lights background for Christmas cards and the use of the lustre polish certainly demonstrates the beauty of them. Love the way the white trees pop against the darker background.

    Morning Sue,
    I agree with everyone, the Northern Lights background is stunning.
    I started making my Christmas cards yesterday and there is glitter and bits of paper and card everywhere,but not one finished. Maybe today. Like your card so might give it a go with different trees as I don't have these. Hugs xx Pauline
