Another Card Giveaway? Perhaps!

 Hi bloggers!  Girlie, girlie, girlie today.  Equal time for the ladies' cards I say!  I started by cutting four of the Botanical Swirl and Accents corner in white card.  Use the wax paper for these and they are a breeze!  I like the dotted line so I cut them just behind it to leave it as part of the corner on all of them.  I glued them to a piece of blush card.  Next I cut three frames using the two largest sizes of Labels 28 out of rose coloured card.  I added in the next size smaller in the die set on two of the frames to give me the extra frames that I needed.  I arranged my frames with the three largest lined up vertically.  The two smaller frames, I set on top horizontally.  I cut a long thin strip of blush card and began to weave it through all the frames to hold them and give me the buckle effect for my card.  Next I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the tag from the french Frills set.  I inked it lightly with Spun Sugar while in the die.  I added it in the centre of my focal element with mounting foam.  I added this entire piece to a larger piece of card where I tied some silky crush ribbon around.  I tied a double bow and attached it with glue dots.  I added a pearl embellishment and two stick pins.  This colour is actually not available yet as it was a sample sent to me by our supplier to see what I thought of it.  It will hopefully be added to the line sometime later in the year.  I loved the colour myself, what do you think?  Finished dimensions 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
   I got to thinking yesterday as I was reading all the wonderful comments.  There were almost 250 comments by the time I did this blog post last night.  Only on two occasions have I had over 400 comments left in a single day, and I was over the moon!  As a little experiment, I will give today's card away if we can pass the 400 mark before Wednesday's blog goes live.  No duplicates though please, one per person.  If we hit our goal, I will randomly draw a name from the comments left and quite happily give this one away too!  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, this is my first comment on your blog although I have been quietly looking at your blog for some time. I was so taken with this card that I have spent the afternoon enjoying myself whilst giving it a go I am so pleased with the result I had to sign up so that I could tell you. xxx Pat

Lynne said...

Have recently started looking at your blog daily, after you mentioning it on C&C. I love it and it is so inspirational! In view of your request to make the 'magic 400' comments I thought I'd add mine for you. I really love your card today. The colours are so pretty, especially the matching ribbon which I look forward to buying when it becomes available! I am sure to make my own version and hope it will be as beautiful. Thanks.
