Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hello bloggers!  I thought that I would select one of the cards from my recent show for the giveaway today.  So if you like it and want to be included in the drawing, just leave me a comment today.  This one didn't get a lot of camera time either so at least you can get a better look at it on the blog before it goes to a good home!  I started with the Tufted Background by Justrite Stamps and inked it with a clear Perfect Medium pad.  I stamped it on to blush card and heat embossed with white powder.  Using the matching Labels Seven die, I cut an aperture out of the centre.  I used Victorian Velvet to give a bit of shading to the edges and added mounting foam to the back.  I stamped the Hydrangea Label in black Archival ink on blush card and cut it out with the matching Vintage Labels Seven die as well.  I coloured the flowers with Victorian Velvet distress markers and stamped my sentiment in the middle of the label.  I matted the background with a thin black mat, which left a recessed area for my label shape to be glued back in to the centre.  I cut some flowers using the Majestic Morning stamps and die from Heartfelt Creations and layered up several of the flowers to use as accents.  I added them to the card in a cluster with some foliage cut in white and a black jute bow.  I added some Iced Snow to the foliage leaves.  I finished the card by adding 3mm flatback pearls to the cross lines in the background. The final touch was a pierced mat layer with blush and black layers before adding my final white mat.  Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
