Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Good morning crafters! Thank you for all your amazing comments about yesterday's video release.  It wasn't without a few glitches with the link button, but that couldn't be tested until the videos went live on my blog.  I think they have now been ironed out and the link should take you directly to the products used on the video.  I have also had the Pinterest button removed from the blog body and I am hoping to be able to get it set up on the side of the blog for those of you that would still like to pin any of my cards.  And I wish I could say that was my craft room in the video, but sadly no, but wasn't it pretty! LOL
 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
