Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I have just so many Christmas cards left to show and time is getting short so here is another up on offer for today's giveaway.  I embossed a piece of coconut white card using my Swirling Holly embossing folder.  I wrapped a piece of frilly edged white ribbon around the bottom and taped the ends to the back.  I tied a double bow and added it with glue dots.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it into a tag shape using my paper cutter and corner rounder.  I tucked the end under a crystal sparkler which I used in the centre of the bow.  For the focal element, I used the Grand Squares to cut a frame, using one of the inside dies to emboss some detail into the frame.  I added mounting foam to the back of the frame to raise it for dimension.  I placed a sticky adhesive sheet over some white card and then gilded it with Golden Jewel gilding flakes.  Once gilded, I embossed it with the Swirling Holly folder.  I placed my frame over this and cut away the excess card.  I centred it above my ribbon.  I covered another piece of coconut white card with a sticky adhesive sheet.  Using my Classic poinsettia die, I cut several out of it, enough to make two flowers, one larger than the other.  I peeled the backing paper away and coated each piece with clear micro beads.  I offset the flower pieces to create two flowers and mounted them across my frame.  I pierced a white mat layer using my piercing ruler then finished with a slightly wider white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x  8 1/2" 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 drawn and announced on Saturday's blog post.  Don't forget to check back!  All for now, Sue x
