Hello there my crafty friends! Even though this die is called Golden Girl and is evocative of autumn with the sycamore leaves cascading down her, there is nothing that says you can't create a beautiful card using summery pinks and blues, is there? I hope not! I started by making a background by swiping
Summer Sky and Lilac Rose Opal Polish across a piece of black card. I applied it lightly in spots to give it a slightly distressed look. Next I cut the
Golden Girl die out of the background card (once it was good and dry). Using a piece of
coconut white card with a
sticky adhesive sheet attached, I peeled the backing paper off and attached it behind the die cut card. I used
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to fill in the remaining exposed adhesive. I made a multi-layered frame using the
Background Rectangles and attached it with foam over the image. Using some of the leftover
Opal Polish card, I cut several of the outline die from the
Cosmos Flower die set and created three flowers with them. I seated the flowers in opposite corners and used the
Magnolia Corner cut up as accents. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue
Such a beautiful lady and those opal polishes are amazing. Stephanie having an op just before lock down has been horrible. I am struggling to see GPS blood tests and my consultant. For some reason they keep cancelling. Take care everyone x
Good Morning Sue. Ohhh I love this. It's a beautiful card. And this is so wierd.... I bought this die when she first appeared for my nieces birthday card. Which is next week. Last night I got it out along with my card and embellishments ready to start today. And then ... I open today's blog and here she is. I love these portrait girl dies and I am so looking forward to making the card for my niece. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning.Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Hi Sue and everyone, I love the mix of opal polishes and the sparkles behind. This reminds me that I really need to pick up some adhesive sheets and i should use my opal polishes more often. I hope everyone is well and staying safe hugs Donna xx
Hi Sue. I think that the Golden Girl is my favourite of all the silhouette dies and the card that you have made shows why.
