Hi bloggers! I started today's card by pulling out one of the new
Pearl Opal Polishes. On white card they look like a mother of pearl finish like this. I used the
Red Pearl Opaal Polish across a piece of white card. I allowed it to dry thoroughly and then used the
Rose Bed embossing folder. I embossed the wrong side by accident but I decided to go ahead and use the debossed side on it. I used the
Double Stitched Rectangles and made a white frame and added it with foam mounting tape. Next I cut two of the
Magnolia Corner die out of
Khaki card. I used the extra flowers from the die and cut them out of a leftover piece of the opal polish card (I always say too make more than you need!) I made six dimensional flowers and glued them over the flower areas in the two corners, then glued the corners on to opposite sides of the frame. I used the
Have A Magical Day sentiment cut out of
Old Rose card and glued it in the centre of the frame. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x

Take care stay safe and have fun Kitty.
Well your inspiration has certainly brightened up a very wet grey and miserable morning here in Lancashire. This looks perfect for batch making in various colours with various background techniques you've taught us and perfect to give for many occasions, a lovely start to our day or afternoon /evening,

ReplyDeleteLovely card as always x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, absolutely beautiful creation, love the pearl opal polish, looks amazing, I have some of those and the difference on black card compared to white is fabulous. Happy accident with the embossing on wrong side but if you hadn't mentioned it I would have thought that it was just another way of embossing, I like it.
ReplyDeleteHope you are all keeping well over the pond, we hear things on the news which is so frightening, such a horrible pandemic.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

What a gorgeous card Sue.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you said "Oh dear me" when you realised you had made a mistake (lol) and how clever of you to leave it as the whole card is beautiful.
Have a good day.
Thank you Sue.

A really pretty sample
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card xx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card. I was surprised when you said the leaves were cut out of Kharki card as they looked black on my screen! I’m glad I’m not the only one who embosses the wrong side, but I like you I still use the card, just gives a different effect! Thank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, well as they say in craft , no mistakes just happy accidents. The card is beautiful and opal finishes are so lovely. This embossing folder is so deep, the flowers and colours so pretty. Xx
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. Oh what a lovely creation.... I am happy to say I have all these dies in my stash... And I love the sentiment ...I use this one on a regular basis for all ossasions. WHERE IS THE MISTAKE... and... Is there a right or wrong side to an embossing folder??. I often use the debossed side as I think it has a softer look. And I don't think anyone would have known if you had not said . Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning.Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
ReplyDeletePLEASE STAY SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏
Good Morning Sue and all

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and I love the mother of Pearl look to the background and that was a happy accident, wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t mentioned it
Love and hugs to everyone

Gorgeous design. Loving the sheen and color from the Red Opal Polish on the white card. There is a rose, in real life, that has this coloring, but I can not remember the name of the rose. I used it a lot for bridal bouquets when I was an active florist. The debossed side of this Rose Bed Embossing Folder is just as lovely as the regular embossed side. I have embossed the other side of card more than once. It happens. Thanks for the inspiration today. Hugs
ReplyDeleteReally lovely card and a great “happy accident”!
