Strength Circle Saying

 Hi crafters!  I thought I would share another card sample from the recent launch.  I started this card by coating a piece of white card with the Opal Polishes.  I used Summer Sky, Blue Wisteria and Lilac Rose OPal Polishes randomly all over the card.  I allowed them to dry thoroughly, the used the outer cutting die from the Strength Circle Saying to cut an aperture in the centre.  I embossed the piece with the Sublime Swirls Embossing folder for texture.  I added mounting foam to the back and attached it to a piece of white card.  Next I cut the Martha Background twice out of white card.  I used the Martha Edgers to cut away the sides of the background.  I glued them to the Opal Polish background and added pearls to the corners and tips as accents.  I cut a slightly larger piece of white card as the backing and added four white Joanie dies for detail.  I attached the Opal Polish background to the centre.  I cut the Strength Circle in both black and white card.  I used the black as a shadow behind the white one, then recessed it into the aperture opening.  I cut a Jasmine Flower from some of the leftover Opal Polished card and added it to the left side of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.  

We still have at least six of the winning dies unclaimed.  Please scroll down to the post with the list of winners and check to see if your name is on the list!  I would really like to get them all sent out!   All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue and all that pop in. Its dark and very wet here in Lancashire but you always give us something to smile about, and I love how you've cut an aperture out of embossed cardstock and it was a favourite of mine when I stood all day making cards, it brings so much texture to the design and I love how you used Martha in white, it shows the beauty of the polish it shows the beauty of the folder, and the polished frame shows the beauty of white Martha, I just love today's sample its gorgeous Sue.
Have a lovely day everyone however you're spending it but STAY SAFE KEEP CARING AND VIGILANT xxx 💖
