Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi bloggers!  It is finally time once again to give away a card!  It seems like absolutely ages since I have done this (I'm not counting the orphans!)  If you want to be in the drawing for today's card, just leave a comment on the post today.  I'll announce the winner on Saturday's post.   For this one, it is back to the Crisscross background die as it is so lovely!  I have cut the background in coconut white card and then extended it a bit to create a more square background.  I mounted it with foam for dimension over some blush card for a slight hint of colour coming from behind.  I matted it with some black card to help frame it. For the focal element, I stamped my sentiment in black archival ink, then decided to just emboss around it.  I used the Gold Facets die to do this with.  Once embossed, I inked very lightly over the area with Spun Sugar distress ink.  I matted it with thin mats of white and black to frame it and added it the centre of the card with mounting foam.  Using the pale pink and white felt from the Vintage felt pack, I made three small rolled flowers as accents.  I added them atop some white tulle and black jute twine in the corner of my focal element.  I finished the card with some flatback white pearls in the corners and around the edge of the background before adding my double white pierced mat layers.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
