Embossed Lustre Cards with Suzi

Good Day All, Today I'd like to share with you a set of cards I've created using the gorgeous Aztec Lustre Paints on Black and White Paper, some stamps and embossing folders from my stash.

Here's one of the cards;

Here's how I created my project.  First of all I took Aztec Lustre Paints in Pink, Yellow, Blue and Purple and added some onto sheets of Black Paper with a brayer.  I created 3 different sheets;

I then decided to start work on the focal images for my cards.  I stamped a selection of Hearts onto mixed media paper;

I then added a layer of Yellow Aztec Lustre Paint to the whole page;

I then added some stamping to the background with a distressed stamp.

I then stamped some hearts onto the patterned papers I'd created;

I then cut out the hearts and glued them to the yellow paper.  I then cut the page up into 6 pieces to create the focal images for my cards.

I took the rest of the black patterned paper, trimmed it to fit 5 x 7 inch card blanks then embossed each sheet using a selection of embossing folders from my stash.

I then started to put my cards together, I added a piece of black paper behind my embossed papers to add a nice border, then added the pieces of yellow paper to the cards.  Here's what I ended up with;

I stamped a couple of extra hearts onto the leftover yellow paper and added them to two of the cards.  I may add sentiments to the rest of the cards at a later date, I'm not sure yet.  But for now they are all finished.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing how I created my cards, you can find the Aztec Lustre Paints on offer at the moment, so it's the perfect time to treat yourself to a set of them.

That's all from me for today

Bye for now

Suzi
