Thinking Of You/ Giveaway

 Good morning all!  What a lovely day I had yesterday with all your amazing emails to welcome me back! As a sort of thank you, I thought I would do a card giveaway today.   If you would like a chance to win this card, just leave me a comment.  I will post the winner's name on Wednesday's blog post. I did seven days of sneak peeks, but there were eight different bundles so here is a card from that last set.  I started with a piece of coconut white card and I embossed it with the Dainty Dots Embossibility folder.  I matted it with a thin mat of raspberry card from my stash (I am working on finding this one to add to our line).  Next I stamped the Dotted Fronds background designed by Becca Feeken for Justrite stamps using a clear Perfect Medium pad.  I heat embossed it with white powder.  I decided to give it a bit of texture so I embossed it with the Dainty Dots folder as well.  I stamped the Lace Vintage Labels Three stamp using a black Archival ink pad and cut it out with the matching dies to create a frame.  I stamped my sentiment (from Large Elegant Sentiments by Justrite) in black on white card and mounted my frame over the top of it.   I cut one of the Delicate Doilies dies out of coconut white card and cut it in half and added the halves to the sides of my focal element.  I decided to create a border so I used the Scalloped Borders One set.  I used an insert and one cutting edge to cut it out of black card.  I cut a very thin strip of white card to add to the top of the border and ran 5mm flatback pearls across the strip.  I tied a messy bow out of black seam binding and added a black jute bow underneath. I added a felt flower to the centre of my bow which I made by cutting a circle and then spiral cutting it to the centre.  I rolled and glued it into place and added a flatback pearl to the centre.  I finished the card with a double white pierced mat and some flatback pearls in the corners of my focal element.  Thanks again for a truly lovely Sunday crafting with you!  Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size.

I am going to be getting the blog candy drawn and posted later today, so don't forget to check back in the afternoon!   All for now, Sue x
