Wednesday Weekly Giveaway

 Hi bloggers!  I know there seems to be quite a few lavender themed cards on my Wednesday giveaway, but it is only because I always see comments that it is a favourite colour of many of you.  Just trying to please!  You know the drill by now, leave a comment on today's post if you would like to be in the drawing to win this one.  By the way, I am still waiting for PAPER JUNKIE to claim last weeks card!  You have to email me by Friday or I will draw another name and add it to the announcement for this one on Saturday's post.  This is the first card I made with the new background die called Crisscross.  I really like this one, mainly because it just cries out for pearls in those little squares (I had to oblige! LOL)  It also looks nice with ribbon woven through it although I think that is what most people first see when they look at it cut out.  I added some mounting foam to the back and mounted it over lavender card for dimension.  Next I used the Gold Elements Four and cut the two largest sizes of them for the back layer to my focal element.  I cut the largest one in half and to shorten it a bit and placed the other one atop it so they appeared more similar in size.  On lavender card, I stamped the Vintage Birthday stamp by Justrite using a clear perfect medium and white embossed it.  I cut it out with the Vintage Labels four die.  I stamped my sentiment from the set  in black and cut it out with the oval die in the Vintage Labels four set.  I inked through the die lightly with Milled Lavender distress ink.  I made a lavender flower using the method listed under my  tutorials at the very top of the blog, then "sugared" it using the Diamond Sprinkles.  I tied a messy bow with mauve seam binding and seated the flower with some Bakers twine.  I added a lavender mat before finishing with my double white pierced mat layer.  And of course, I added all the small flatback pearls as finishing touches!  Finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size.  Let me know if you would like to win this one!  All for now, Sue x

  29. Morning Sue and Wilsonettes. Yet another stunning card, in fact definatly a W.W.O.W. - Wednesday Wonder Of Wilson : )
    Am I going gaga, or did you spend hour's cutting into the background Sue ? I keep going back to the photo and reading the tutorial and nowhere does it say you had cut inbetween to give that trellis/lattice effect but that's how it looks can someone help me out here please lol !
    I love the colour combo, but there again any colour's used would look lush in my eyes. Im so frustrated, as I would love a pile of the card you use Sue and in ALL the colours on my workspace in place of all the cardstock I already have but as Im the only 'bread winner' via my disability payment, bills etc have to take priority, so when SB/JR/CE keep teasing me with ALL their new products I could litterally cry ! So my dreams of building up wonderful cardstock and excellent quality expensive dies and stamps remain a 'pipe dream' but C and my birthday are round the corner as is a craft shop, so all Ive put on my 'wish lists' are vouchers to spend on all these goodies - well maybe enough to put together to choose 1 die 1 stamp or a selection of cardstock used on demo's but whatever I decide to get I always get excited lol.

    Paper Junkie - please DONT let this once in a lifetime chance of a W.O.W go bye, your Wonder Of Wilson is all your's go get it ! Maybe she is poorly, or something is stopping her from getting online !

    I think Ive gone on long enough yet again (my husband does say I waffle too much before getting to the point) poor chap !

    So I'll bid you all farewell and wish for you a productive crafty day, a happy and safe day.
    Hugs.

    morning Sue
    What a wonderful way to start the day - today's gift is at the top of my favourite list as from this moment.
    At first glance I thought it was parchment used for the background and now this die is a definite buy for me.
    It goes without saying that the colour scheme is superb and the format so gentile that I would be on top of the world if that card came through my door.
    Once again Thank you Sue for more of your inspiration.

  53. Good morning Sue,
    Lovely card in lovely colours. The first thought that hit me was the background reminds me of the harlequin background, but equally as useful as a chess or draughts board. I love the way your roses are coming out the now with the crystallized top to it. All in all a lovely card that would appeal to a lot of people. Thank you once more Sue,
    Love and crafty hugs

    I so love Lavender and White it's a Beautiful Combination.
    I really love the Background Die and like yourself I would place small Pearls in the squares, this Card looks so very "Opulent" and "Expensive" but then all your Cards look like that, using the ever Fabulous Gold Elemments Four which is such a Beautiful Die Set, and the using The Stamp from JustRite the Vintage Birthday, then using the Milled Lavender Distress Ink from Ranger I love that one as it's not to heavy, a touch of a Diamond Sparkle Fabulous Messy Bow Bakers Twine just Stunning Stunning! and the lovely lady called Lancashire Steph I Love to read her comments, and she's correct I really hope Paper Junkie gets in touch for her very Beautiful Card I own a Sue Wilson Card that I got when the Auction was going and it's got Pride of Place in my Craft Room, Fabulous Card Sue as always love from Sam x

  182. Hi Sue, At first glance I thought you had taken up parchment craft! What a lovely background this die makes, I assume it will be on sale soon, so it will be on my Christmas list. The colours you have chosen are so special to so many of us and I would enjoy winning this card from you. Love from Jackie D

  183. LANCASHIRE STEPH - you are so funny!! Keep up your rambling posts as it does brighten up the day.
    Sue has used a trellis die - it cuts out the bits for her - don't think that anyone (even our super talented Sue) would have the time or inclination to hand cut something similar.
