Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi bloggers!  I think I have survived the frenzied multiple blog postings  for the past five days! I hope you have too!   I have to say that the response was absolutely phenomenal and far exceeded my expectations! There were a record number of comments left on the very first post, well over 500!   I am truly humbled by all your gracious comments and emails.  I saw so many new names too, I hope that we will continue to see all the new faces around the blog too!   It has been a real labour of love for me for the past year and there were days where I was beginning to feel like it was never going to happen!  I am over the moon to hear such wonderful comments, thank you so much!

The giveaway card for today is the one that I demoed at the CHA live show in January.  I hate to ask you again, but you need to leave a comment to be in the drawing for the card too.  I used the Heartfelt Creations floral stamp called Majestic Morning Bouquet and covered a piece of milk card with it stamped in black.  Once stamped, I covered the entire piece with a sticky adhesive sheet and added diamond Sprinkles to it for a bit of glitz and glam.  I cut two of the Scalloped Borders Two in black and backed them with milk card and added them vertically to either side of the card.  I cut three of the Raindrops On Roses dies in milk card so I was able to use them as a decorative background accent behind my sentiment.  The sentiment was stamped and cut out with the Fancy Tags Two die and inked with Antique Linen.  I seated it upon a Labels 28 die cut in black that I also stamped with the same flower as the background for a bit of detail.  I cut a faux nestie in milk for it and attached my decorative pieces to that to complete the focal element.  I stamped the Majestic Blooms flower stamp and cut it out with the matching die and put together several flowers.  I added a few flowers around the card and seated one on a messy bow and some jute twine.  I finished the card with a pierced double mat layer in milk card and added some flatback pearls as final accents.  Finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 9 1/4" in size.
Just a quick note to let you know that I am heading back home today (will be flying as this goes live, in fact!) but I am hoping to get all the drawings done and posted for the new die releases on Friday.  The winner of this card will be posted on Saturday and the comment game winners on Sunday so don't forget to check to see if your name has been picked!  All for now, Sue x
