POTW Sneak Peek

Hello my crafty blog friends!  Here is a sneak peek at one of the cards for the POTW shows that begin today at noon.  This card features the lovely Floral Oval dies, Floral Tag dies and an Embossibility folder that are part of the line up.  It is a very simple card and I am not using it as a demo this week so I thought I would show it today and give a quick rundown for you.  I started with a piece of lavender card (5 1/2" x 7" in size) and embossed it with the Garden Delight folder.  Due to the size of this piece, I had to run it through twice.  I wrapped a piece of white crocheted ribbon around the bottom and taped it to the back.  I cut the largest size of the Floral Oval in white and attached it with mounting foam.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the next size of the Floral Oval set and inked it with Dusty Concord Distress ink while in the die.

  I attached that piece with mounting foam to complete my focal element.  I cut and ink two of the rose die from the Floral Tag set and attached them to the upper corner of my focal element.  Small pearls were added to the centres for accents.    I tied a double bow using the white satin edged organza ribbon, one of my new favourites!  I completed the bow with a two mixed stick pins and a pearl embellishment from my craft stash.  I added the bow using a glue dot to the lower corner. I completed my project by adding a pearly swirlie piece to the upper corner and piercing around the edge for a nice framed effect.  The finished size is 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size (I actually have the card in my hand for once as I write this!)  This is definitely one for the girlie card lovers out there!  All for now, Sue x
