Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi bloggers!  I noticed earlier in the year quite a bit of this extremely distressed card edges on blogs from the States so I thought I would have a go at it myself.  I have to say that I loved the results as it gives the card a surprisingly elegant, vintage sort of feel to it in real life.  I started with a piece of milk coloured card and tore all the way around the edge.  I then took the edge of my scissors and distressed it further to bring about a softer, almost fuzzy edge to the card.  I did a slightly smaller piece the same exact way and layered them together.  Using a piece of cut 'n dry foam, I inked the torn edges lightly to give them a vintage look.  I cut a Divine Eloquence die cut out of milk card and backed it with a piece of peach card from my stash.  I used the smaller die in the set to cut another piece out of milk card and layered it with foam in the middle.  I stamped my sentiment from the Justrite stamp set called Ribbons and Swags Vintage Labels Seven and cut it out with the tag die from the same.  I inked it lightly with Antique Linen distress ink before removing it from the die and added it with foam in the middle of the card.  I used my Classic Rose die set to cut some peach felt and made two flowers from it. (This technique can be seen on my video on Youtube entitled Spanish Rose)  I added them with tulle and some cream twine.  I pierced around the edge of a piece of milk card to create a mat frame for my card, then added a thin peach mat and a final milk mat to complete the card.   The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x  7 3/4" in size.  If you would like to be entered in the drawing to win this card, just leave me a comment.  The winner will be announced on Saturday's post.  All for now, Sue x
