Wednesday Card Giveaway 2015

 Hello everyone and welcome to the first Wednesday Card Giveaway of 2015!  We are nipping back to my  second release of dies for this one.  I embossed the background first with the Heart Lattice embossing folder for a delicate look.  Next I cut four of the Austrian corners in coconut white card and glued them into place in each of the corners.  Using the Vienna die set, I cut a decorative die in white and backed it with a solid dusty rose die and glued them together.  I did the reverse with the next layer and cut the Decorative outer die from the Salzburg die out of dusty rose and backed it with the solid in white.  Back to a white decorative die with the smaller die in the Salzburg set, with a dusty rose solid behind it.  All were layered up in the centre of the card.  I stamped my sentiment in black and cut it out with the oval from the Vienna die set.  I inked it with Victorian Velvet distress ink before removing it from the die.  I attached it in the centre of the card with mounting foam.   Using the Itty Bitty Dotty bow, I cut it in white and used the Itty Bitty Classic bow and cut a matching one in Dusty Rose to back it with.  I assembled the bow and glued it in place below my focal element.  I finished the card in my usual method of paper piercing a white mat layer, then adding a thin dusty rose mat and a wider white mat layer and some flatback pearls in the corners.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  7 1/2" in size.  If you would like to be entered in the drawing for this one, just leave a comment on the post (directions are on the right hand side of the blog if you need them.)   The winner's name will be drawn and posted on Saturday's post, don't forget to check back.  All for now, Sue x
