It is time again for the Wednesday card giveaway! Leave me a comment today if you would like to be entered in the drawing for today's card. The winner will be announced on Saturday's post. Almost white on white this time with a pop of aubergine coloured felt and ink. I started with the background, using the Interlocking Circles folder to emboss it with for texture. I cut two of the Filigree Corner dies from the Becca Feeken set by Justrite stamps. I glued them in place in the two lower corners. I used the Majestic Labels 25 die set to cut the decorative piece for my focal element, adding in the smaller die during the embossing stage for added detail. I stamped my sentiment (Justrite stamps)using a black archival ink pad and cut it out with the smaller oval die from the Vintage Labels Four die set. I inked it with Eggplant Adirondack ink while still in the die. I cut the larger oval as a mat, inked it as well and put them together with mounting foam in the middle of the other die cut. Using the Bitty Blossoms dies, I cut three felt flowers and rolled them. I added them around my sentiment with some inked leaves and Bakers Twine as an accent. I added small flatback pearls to the centres of each flower. Further pearls were added to the upper corners, the sentiment and the corners for a bit of the bling. Finally a double white mat with a pierced inner layer finished the card. Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" in size.
I wanted to mention that, like our Nigel May, Joanna Sheen has written a book that is available for purchase here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F8H73NC called "A Sticky End". What talented people crafters are!
I have also had an email from The Papeterie saying that they are having some difficulty getting in touch with some of the people that left their names for the Charity DVD from the July Scotland demo. If you haven't received yours, or would still like to order one, please get in touch with them and they will get it sent out to you. The DVD is £6 and the proceeds go to charity. The phone number for The Papeterie is 01224 802337
I see that we have reached our goal for the blog candy contest. Give me until Friday and I will post the winners then!
Check back tomorrow for another episode of the video series Crafting My Style! All for now, Sue x

Love this card, white on white is always so elegant looking. And you always add just the right amount of embellishments to give it the luxury look. Funnily enough the Filigree Corner dies are next on my shopping list. I just love Becca's blog and have been a fan for many years.

What a pretty card -and I can print off the instructions too.
I'm sure I'll get used to the videos in time, but it would be useful if you could list the 'ingredients' in the post so we can see what we need without watching the video or as a reminder when looking for a card to fit our stash!!
white on white with a touch of purple - Stunning card again Sue. Loved your video yesterday and Julia was keen to tell us about it (Enjoyed her demo's on C&C too). Looking forward to your next one.

Absolutely beautiful card!
I like the fact that the products you use are available at Joanna Sheen. That's where I shop. They don't charge any P&P, so there is more money for goodies :)
Sue I am a lover of white on white cards, and this is no exception. love how you do your backgrounds and the finishing touches you add.
Thank you loving your tutorials.
Hugs Trish.
