Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi crafters!  I thought I would give you a break from Christmas card giveaways this week.  This week's giveaway is the card that I first demoed on my last shows.  I started with a piece of coconut white card and cut the Auvergne insert out of the top half of the card.  On the lower portion, I cut the Bevelled Glass Striplet insert.  I did not use the outside cutting edge of either one of these.  I cut the card on a paper cutter directly in the centre of the Striplet, then matched it up and glued it on top to make it half the width for a smaller border area.  I added mounting foam to the back of this piece to raise it for dimension.  On a piece of blush card, I added self adhesive sticky sheets to the area which corresponded to my die cut area.  I peeled the backing paper away and added Iced Snow.  I laid the background on top, adding glue to my mounting foam so it would stick well.  I made a double frame using the outside cutting edges to the Auvergne die set and mounted foam on the back and added it over the insert cut out area.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Austrian tag.  Before removing it from the die, I inked it with Spun Sugar distress ink.  I mounted it with foam in the centre of the Auvergne insert area.   I made a Mosaic 3D bow using the smallest size in the larger bow set with the matching Itty Bitty bow set.  I used blush card for the base piece cutting it from the Classic sets and then white from the Mosaic sets.  I made my bow and added it with glue dots to the centre of the striplet.  I finished the card with a wide white mat that I used Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue to create dots around the edge.  A thin blush mat was added followed by a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x  8 1/4" in size.  If you would like to be entered in the drawing to win this card, just leave a comment on today's post.  The winner will be drawn and announced on Saturday's blog post.

  John Lockwood is on Create and Craft tv today with shows at 10am and 1pm.  I hope you can tne in to see his exciting demos!  All for now, Sue x
