Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hello all!  It's time to give another card away!  I love Wednesdays!  Today's card is a kraft card creation and I was really pleased with how this one turned out!  I started with the large Polka Dot mask and placed it over a 6 inch square piece of kraft card and embossed the pattern in it.  Then,  I taped it down well and sponged through the mask with Adirondack pigment ink in Snow Cap to add colour to the embossed areas.  I matted it on white card, then went to work on my focal element.  I stamped the coffee cup on to milk card.  I coloured the image with Distress markers and cut it out by hand.  I stamped the image again, but this time only coloured the rose and cut it out.  I mounted the rose on foam over the image on the cup for dimension.    I stamped the image a third time onto kraft card and cut it out with the Marvellous Squares.  I inked through the die with Snow cap to soften the edges then cut another matching piece to back it with out of white card.  I stamped three swirls with the snow cap ink pad above the cup to look like steam rising from the cup.  I tied some Heather coloured seam binding around the card then added my focal element in the centre.  I tied a messy bow and added it to the left with a bit of natural jute twine and a burlap rose from my stash.  I added two matching stick pins that I made from beads in my stash and stamped a tag with a friendly message and added it to my bow.  I finished the card with mixed colour mats and an inner pierced layer.  If you would like a chance to win this card, just leave a comment on the post today. The winner will be announced on Saturday's post.  Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
