Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hello bloggers!  This was the first card that I made when I received the Lyra die set prototype!  I just wanted to see it  cut on the diagonal and in my head, that was how I was seeing it from conception.  I think it looks lovely that way, but I have also used it in many other ways too that you will see on the blog in the weeks to come.  I started with a piece of teal card and cut the Lyra die diagonally using one cutting edge with it.  On a piece of coconut white card, I stamped my sentiment in black in the lower corner.  I taped the two pieces together to create the background of the card.  Using the Open Petal Camellia set, I cut a bunch of different sizes and layered them up to create a floral element across the top of the card.  I cut several of the leaves from the set and tucked them around the flowers.  Using the Splendid Swirls, I cut a couple and added them into the top of the floral element to fill in a bit.  I paper pierced a white mat to frame the card and then added a thin teal card mat and a final white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size.  If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this card, please leave a comment on this post.  The winner will be drawn and announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
