Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hi there!  I am switching gears and going back into Christmas mode for today's giveaway.  I stamped the background using the Striped Holly background by Justrite using a Clear Perfect Medium pad on to coconut white card. I heat embossed with True White embossing powder then inked across the card with Brushed Pewter distress stain.  The embossing resisted the ink, but gave the card a softer look than just stamping on to silver card.  For the focal element, I stamped the Ornament using a clear Perfect Medium pad and embossed it with Silver Shine embossing powder.   I cut it out with a large circle die.  I stamped the image again, heat embossed it and cut out just the centre sentiment section with a smaller circle die.  I foam mounted it in the centre.  I stamped the dots on to a strip of white card and embossed them with silver and added them so it looked like the ornament was suspended by them.  Using my Classic bow die, I cut it in soft silver card for the base of my bow.  I used the Lattice bow die and cut it in white.  I made  the bow by layering the classic underneath the Lattice and assembling a double bow with tails.  I cut the tails apart so they didn't cover the hanging dots and mounted them to each side of it.  I finished the card with a mat of white with a pierced edge, then a thin mat of silver and a final mat of white card.  Finished dimensions are 6" x 7" in size.  If you would like to be in the drawing for this one, just leave a message today.  The winner will be announced on the blog on Saturday.  All for now, Sue x
