Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Morning all!  Think lilac, gold and white for today's card because try as I might, I couldn't get the card to really show the true colour very well.  It is one of my favourites from the past weekend's shows though, so first up on offer for the weekly giveaway.  I started by embossing vellum with my new Art Deco Fanfare embossing folder.  Although the pattern actually goes the other way, I ended up using it in this direction, which gives it a completely different look.  I glued it atop a piece of soft gold card for my outer background and added flatback pearls to the corners.  Next I stamped the Floral Lace background by Justrite using a clear Perfect Medium pad on to lilac card.  I heat embossed with with Gold Detail Powder.  I covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet and coated it with (my much loved) Iced Snow.  I matted it with a thin soft gold mat and added it to the background with mounting foam.  I stamped the label from The Baking Label stamp set by Justrite on coconut white card and heat embossed it with gold as well.  I cut it out with the matching vintage tag die and before removing it, I inked it with Shaded Lilac distress ink.  I stamped my sentiment (from the Stitched Flower set) and cut it out with a small die in the Vintage Labels Seven die set.  I inked through the die with Shaded Lilac again.  I used the new Tranquil Moments die set and cut it out of coconut white card and layered my sentiment and tag on it with foam and added it to the centre of the card.  Using the Classic Rose die, I made a flower out of coconut white card, inked it lightly with Shaded Lilac, then sugared it with Iced snow.  I cut some Faux Quilled Leaves out of soft gold and cut them apart and added them around my flower with I seated upon some gold tulle on the card.  I made matching stick pins to finish the embellishment.  A double white mat with Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue dots were added completed the entire card.  It's a stunner in real life, shame my pics aren't able to do it justice! 

 If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this one, just leave me a comment.  I usually post the winners name on Saturday's post, but I will be away at Ally Pally all weekend, so both the card winner and the Comment Game winners will be posted on Monday's blog post this week.  

I have been getting a few emails asking how to leave comments, so I have put up an explanation on the right side of the blog! 

 The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
