Hi crafters! I started this card by using the
Lavender Blue Opal Polish all over a piece of card and allowing it to try. Next I rubbed a
Black Soot Distress Oxide pad over the negative side of the
Rose Bed 3D embossing folder and then embossed the background with it. The black ink transferred into the floor of the design, showing off the roses. I used a couple of extra strips of the background before embossing to go behind the edgers, which I cut in black from the
Stella's Border die. I used mounting foam behind them to raise them and added them to the sides of the card. I cut the
Stella die in black and added a white backing to it, then cut the centre out. I used a
Pierced Flag die through the centre and seated the sentiment on it. I cut the
Heartfelt Thanks out of the same opal polish background and added a black die cut as an offset shadow. I made two
Cosmos Flowers as accents. I cut the solid flower from extra of the background and added a black outline on top of it. I accented the flowers with white leaves from the set. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are
6 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hiya Sue. I love the colours you've chosen for the background it really highlights the depths of the folder used. It certainly needs a very dark or Bright white cardstock to show the delicate design of the Stella dies or I'm wondering if they'd 'get lost' within the Rose Bed but I'm not professional crafter I tinker lol but this is a beautiful way to start another horrible weather day, and worse to come by the sound of it. Hope you're planning a lovely day Sue, enjoy xxx

Good Morning Sue. Ohhh what a lovely card. And I love the embossing folder.... I don't have that one ....but I have the A4 Bed of roses one and I have to say it is my go to every time. I must have a go with colouring the card first as I love how you have highlighted the roses. Great sample Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning.Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
STEPHANIE I HAVE EMAILED YOU THIS MORNING
Hi Sue. What a really colourful card today. The opal polish contains so many different colours it looks as though you have used more than one of them. Although you have used a lot of black I think this shows off the colour even more.

Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, just got pc back but it has new operating system in it so will take ages to reinstall everything.
Beautiful colourful sample today, love it.
Stay safe health and happy hugs June Smith xxx xxx
Gorgeous card design. Great look that defines the roses by inking the embossing folder on the floor of the embossing folder before embossing. Adding the black accents to both the Stellas and the flowers are that perfect finishing touch. You achieved a pronounced look with the textures, and shinny and mat surfaces.
Wow this is a stunning card Sue, the opal polish sure shows off the embossing die!!!
Hi Sue this is a stunning card. It is just so pretty I love it. Those dies are gorgeous. Take care. Hugs Jackie
