Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hello my crafty friends!  I thought that I would make my first demo card from Sunday  a Wednesday giveaway.  I think it is such a pretty card, that periwinkle and white just sings to me!  I started by stamping a piece of periwinkle card using the Justrite Twisted Fleur background stamp inked with Clear Perfect Medium.  I heat embossed it with True White embossing powder.  I cut down three sides of the card, leaving a bit at the bottom edge.  I cut a wide strip of coconut white card and embossed it using my new Pinpoint folder called Rows Of Bows.  I added this piece to the bottom edge of the background then cut an Italian border out of periwinkle card and glued it across the join area.  I added small 3mm white pearls to the border as embellishments.  For the focal element, I cut the Hollywood die in white using the insert and the outer cutting edge.  I mounted it on a piece of periwinkle blue card that I cut with just the outer cutting edge to the die.  It provided a perfect matching shape and allowed the blue to show through the pretty decorative white die cut.  I mounted it with foam on the stamped background.  Using the stamp from the Rose Bouquet set by Justrite, I stamped it on to periwinkle card with a perfect medium pad and heat embossed it with white powder.  I cut it out with the matching Vintage Labels Two die, stamped my sentiment in black in the centre and mounted it with foam in the middle of my die cut.  I made a flower out of the white crochet ribbon by using the ribbon rose method at the top of my blog.  I seated the rose on white tulle and added a few fern trio leaves around it.  I finished the card by piercing the edge of a white mat layer using my piercing ruler to frame it.  A thin blue mat then a wider white mat finished the card off nicely.  If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this one, just leave me a comment!  I will announce the winner on Saturday's blog post.  Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
