Hello there my crafty friends! I was having a play with the new
Opal Pearl Polishes for this card. I used a piece of white card and used
Red Pearl, Blue Pearl and Green Pearl Opal Polishes all over it randomly. On white card they only show up as a pearl, but on dark card you get the red, green or blue pearl colours to come through. If you look at the close ups, you can see hints of soft pastels coming through sort of like a mother of pearl look to it. I used the
Sunburst Frame 3D embossing folder and hand cut out the centre oval section. I glued a piece of acetate to the underside of the opening then added it to a piece of milk card as a background in the centre. I cut the outer dies from the
Joanie die in
Antique Gold card and glued the frame across the acetate, touching the top and bottom of the background. I cut the
Guess Who Thinks You're Special sentiment die in antique gold and milk card and used the gold as an offset shadow, then glued it in the centre of the frame. I used the extra flower die from the
Magnolia Corner die set and added three flowers to the opposite corners of the oval as accents. The card was completed with antique gold and milk card mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
A very serene card it would suit a sympathy sentiment too, thank you.
Take care, stay safe and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue. What an adorable beautiful sight for sore eyes, it's absolutely gorgeous it's a 'real you' style. The gentle look of Mother of Pearl, the Sunburst folder with its depth, it's all just adorable. I really should concentrate on treating myself to more 3d folders, or add them to my gift list. We never know what the next post will bring but we know it never brings disappoitment just a smile. So it's got a lot cooler so my brain call may work a little better than during the excess heat over the past few days which means I'll be concentrating on my new Ark and animals dies (clapping hands)
PLEASE STAY CAREFUL STAY SAFE KEEP CARING KEEP CRAFTING 💖 xxx

Hello Sue
This is just sheer elegance,like Stephanie I have tended to ignore embossing folders because there are so many of your beautiful dies I still need but I did slip your roses folder in with my order this week. Take care everyone x
What a gorgeous card you have done for us today Sue.
The close up pictures are all beautiful and the finished card is far more than the sum of its parts.
You are very special.
Hugs.

An elegant card,
Good morning Sue,
A very elegant card today, I love the mother of pearl frame & think this would be lovely on the top of a box especially if giving a piece of jewellery as it would look like a jewellery box. Yvonne xx
Good Morning Sue. What a beautiful sight to open my tablet and my day. This is so lovely ...so elegant... and delicate. I love the embossing folder. I see this one turned portrait ways and one of your lovely wedding couples in the oval. So versatile as well. Thankyou Sue for lovely work and new ideas to keep us occupied while most of us are still having to stay indoors. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning.Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
PLEASE STAY SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue, it's amazing how much dimension the 3d embossing folders give. As always a very classy card. WakeyL
Morning Sue, I really must invest in this particular EF as it makes a lovely frame for a photograph especially when highlighted with the opal polishes.
We're all of the same opinion this morning, .... very elegant,rather like yourself Sue!
Have a restful weekend everyone! Who's going to be crafting like me. Rain can be a blessing at times!!

Hi Sue, love the subtle sheen you get with the opal polish and the way that the sentiment on acetate seems to be floating, lovely effect.
Frances
Like a lot of other I would describe this card as elegant. A look I struggle to achieve!! X
The sunburst frame is amazing looking here. A beautiful card today. Have a great weekend.
Hello Sue, beautiful finish to this card, the effect of mother of pearl is so pretty. Lovely how you've included acetate too, gives such an interest to your card . Hope you are well Sue and enjoy your weekend.xx cae
The mother of pearl effect looks amazing, more to add to my collection...beautiful card....luv Ursula xx
Well, looks like I fixed my sign-in issue that I caused. Thank goodness. Loving your beautiful design. You did a much better job than I did hand cutting out the center of your Sunburst Frame 3D Embossing Folder. I looked through every die collection of yours that I have trying to find a match to cut the center out of this frame. No luck, so hand cutting I did. This is a gorgeous 3D frame. Your use of the CS Opal Polishes enhanced the beauty. I purchased these opal polishes when you were on HSN last month. Have not used them yet but I know I will really like using them. Hugs
The Sunburst Frame 3D embossing folder is the perfect frame to showcase the sentiment. And, as I have said before, Sue, we think you are special! I so appreciate your dies and stamps and the fact that you show us examples and demonstrate how to use your products on youtube. Thank you for everything you do to inspire us. Hugs!
Beautiful, the 3D embossing folders really make the background pop!

Hello Sue and all
Oh I really, really like that embossing folder- so classy ! The polishes are lovely and it is amazing how often that magnolia corner set just finishes off a beautiful card. A winner !!
Hugs

Sometimes I see your cards on Instagram and then forget to post here...sorry. I noted this card yesterday (on Instagram) as it is very striking....love the embossed frame and the use of Opal Polishes which are my favorite of the CS polishes. I have not tried the blaze variety yet. Harder & longer getting UK merchandise these days. I do think now that NYC is more in control things are moving more smoothly. Chicago customs is very slow. Waited over 2 months on an order I would have had easily in 3 weeks previously. I know, patience.There are more worrisome things about this virus, I know.
Sorry to ramble,
Stephanie K
A lovely elegant card today.Love the Opal Pearl Polishes effect.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.
