Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway Triple!

Hello crafters!  I thought I would finish off my Heartfelt cards by giving away these three (an unprecedented triple giveaway, I might add!)  The first card used a HFC (Heartfelt Creations) floral stamp from the Majestic Blooms collection which I stamped in Perfect medium and gold embossed.  I used the Raindrops on Roses die to cut an aperture in the middle of the card (I used that die cut for a previous card too)  I added a bead of Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue around the edge and sprinkled Iced snow on it for an encrusted bling look. I added mounting foam to the background and seated on a piece of milk card.    I cut another Raindrops on Roses die  out of milk card and recessed it down into the background.  I stamped the vase several times and cut out the flowers to layer individually.  They were coloured with Distress Markers.  I added a messy bow tied from chalk seam binding and some gold tulle with a sentiment tag tucked under the antique gold button.  A double milk mat with a pierced inner layer finished this one off nicely.  Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x
 7 1/4" in size.




The second card on offer for the giveaway utilised the HFC matching card pack from the Majestic Blooms.  I used it as a backing piece as well as the additional two panels that I matted in black.  I cut two of the Raindrops on Roses dies in black and slipped them under the corners of the panels.  I stamped out ( in black) and die cut the Majestic Blooms stamp and made several flowers to assort across the card.  I added some black tulle with a messy bow out of flesh seam binding and added some decorative stick pins.  Finished dimensions are
7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size.





Card number three, last but not least!  This card also used some of the HFC matching cardstock from the Majestic Blooms as the background.  I cut a Raindrops on Roses die in  white and nipped it in half.  On another piece of white card, I stamped the sentiment using a maroon Archival ink pad.  I cut it out with Labels 18 and used the matching pearl Nestabling around the edge.  I stamped the Majestic Morning bouquet twice and coloured it with Distress markers and added some white pencil as highlights.  I hand cut these and layered them up  on to a messy bow tied from white seam binding that I spritzed and crumpled.  I cut a Bella Rose swirl and added it to the top and behind the flowers.  I added a peach mat before finishing it with a double white pierced mat.  Finished
dimensions are 8" x 8" in size.

There will be three winners drawn to receive these cards from the comments left on the blog today.  Winners will be announced on Saturday's blog post.  Which one do you like the best?  All for now, Sue x

Three stunning cards all showcasing the beautiful Raindrops on Roses range. I found it difficult to decide on my favourite as all appeal to me, however if one was to have the edge it would be the third one due to the lovely colours.x

Unknown said...

Wow, a real three in one treat for us today. They are all so alve with vibrant colour. I just adore the pink and black in the second card, it's stunning.

Hi Sue

Sorry I did'nt comment on yesterday's card, but I was busy with wedding prep, I did look, but did'nt have time to write. Your card yesterday was stunning. I still have to watch the video,and can't wait for 5 mins and relax. Today's trio are absolutely beautiful. I definitely have a home for an orphan card.

Pam I did read yesterday that it was your birthday, and I should have wished you love & hugs, and I do send you belated love & hugs now, and I echo every thought sent by our lovely blog friends. What a fantasic blog to belong to.

I just have to let off steam sorry, my daughter get's married on Good Friday, and last week we were told bridesmaid dresses have not arrived yet. The wedding shop said they would be here the latest Wednesday, and not to worry all alterations will be done on time. So I rang this morning, and after an hour of trying to get through, I got in the car and drove to the shop, only to find they close on Wednesday.I have a bridesmaid coming up from Kent, one from Basingstoke, and two nieces on stanby waiting for their final fittings, and they are all going on the hen this weekend, on Friday until Sunday, and I can't get any response from the shop. Then to top it off my nurse turned up 2 day's early to cut away a 1/3 of my toenail. She had her day's mixed, so instead of Friday I had it cut away today. it's really painful, she just kept me talking about she wedding, then sliced the nail down. I was in tears and it is throbbing so much. Sorry to be such a whimp,and this reading like war and peace.I know it will all turn out ok ( I hope), but just feel so let down by wedding shop, and hope it is not too late for plan B. which I also don't know about.

3 gorgeous cards, my preference is the middle one, I love the black popping out all the strong colours and setting the scene within the card.

2nd choice is the last card made, the pearly nest is wonderful
