Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hello bloggers!  I did say that I would be posting some older cards and I thought this one was nice enough for the card giveaway today.  I started by selecting some mid grey card and I taped the Large Polka Dot Mask over it.  I used the clear Texture paste and spread it through the mask on to the card.  Once I was satisfied it was all nicely covered, I peeled away the mask and decided to add some bling to it by drizzling it with Iced Snow.   Since the paste was wet, it stuck quite nicely.   I set it aside to dry for several hours before assembling my card.  In the meantime, I set to work on my focal element.  I stamped the Vintage Labels Seven Rose by Justrite on to white card with a clear perfect medium pad.  I heat embossed the stamped image with silver shine embossing powder.  I cut it out with the Vintage Labels seven die and inked it lightly with Tattered Rose before removing it.  I stamped it on more time and embossed it again, but this time, I cut out by hand the centre rose circle.  I used Distress markers to colour it and I added it with foam for dimension to the other die cut to create the focal point of my card.  Using Gold Elements Four, I cut out one large and two smaller frames out of white card.  Once my background was dried, I used the silver seam binding to weave through the frames to create a buckle card effect.  I taped the ribbon ends to the back of my background.   I tied a messy bow and added it to the side with glue dots.  I added a vintage silver button to my bow and two stick pins.  I mounted my rose  die cut in the centre.  I finished the card with some matting and layering with pale pink and white mats and some of my usual piercing too.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size.  Please leave me a comment if you would like to be in the drawing to win this one.  I will announce the winner on Saturday's blog post as usual.  All for now, Sue x
