Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hello there my crafty friends!  Today's card giveaway is actually a card that I have done before using very similar dies, but I liked it so much that I remade it using some of my own!  I started with the Taylored Expressions stamp from the Oops A Daisy stamp set and stamped it in black all over a piece of coconut white card.  I covered the card with a sticky self adhesive sheet then coated it with Iced Snow for a blingy background.  Using The Grand Squares, I made a frame for my card, using one of the dies to emboss into the frame for a bit of detail.  I cut four of the Austrian corners and added them to the frame so they peeked out of each of the corners.  I stamped the sentiment in black and cut it into a forked strip and matted it with a black strip cut to match.  I cut several of the Delicate Daisies Complete petal in black then matched them with the Open Petal in white.  I coated each of the petals with Cosmic Lacquer and allowed them to dry overnight before assembling my flowers.  I glued them into place around the end of the sentiment strip and added some Faux Quilled Leaves around them.  I added a small black Dazzler into the centre of each of the flowers.  The card was then completed with a pierced mat layer in white, a thin black mat and a final white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" 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

Hi Sue,
Just popped in again to deliver a message from June yorkielass, she apologises that she's missing , she is having internet problems as there is work going on in her street which means she hasn't an internet connection

Stunning card. Love this particular colour combo.
One question tho sue. U have used grand squares I've tried in vain to get a set bit they don't make it anymore in the uk. Are they available in the states? Forever hopeful

Good evening Sue and the fabulous Wilsonettes
I really like this pretty card Sue with the daisies and for me there is just enough black in it(hee hee) as I know you have a particular paunchance for black. I do like the wee dazzler that you have put in the middle of the daisies as it just finishes it off.
Well what a couple of days I've had waiting in for the gas man today that never turned up and at kirstens yesterday helping to strip wallpaper and load the things up into the car to take to hers. I kinda went over enthusiastic and ended in bed knackered with a thumper of a sore head. Campbell warned Kirsten that I wasn't allowed to do anything as I was so ill. It felt nice being useful again, but it still comes as a surprise to him that it comes at a price for me, but oh it was nice doing something useful for a change and being wanted.
Anyway I will go and leave you all because I am waning here. See you all tomorrow when I am bright and breezy again.
Oh and Frances Kirsten's house is just up the road I think from you at number 40 (don't quote me on that, but I'm sure that is her number)
Sending hugs to all my Angels,
Love and crafty hugs
