Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hello everyone!  How about a pinwheel sort of card for today's card giveaway?  This was a demo I did back in Feb. but in case you didn't see it, here's a quick rundown.  I started by embossing periwinkle card using the Leafy Quad embossing folder.  I did it twice with two different sized squares so I was able to layer them up for a bit of interest.  I matted each piece with a thin black mat to frame it.  For the focal element, I cut four of the centre die from the Times Square out of coconut white card.  I cut four more out of black card.  I cut eight squares to back them with, all out of white card and glued them all together.  The four white on white pieces became the "square" part of the pinwheel while the black on white pieces became the "diamond" part of the pinwheel.  By inserting each piece but keeping the same orientation, you end up with a pretty pinwheel look to your card.  I recommend doing this with glue dots first then after getting all the pieces in place, use glue under the edges to secure them.  That was it allows you a bit of wiggle room until you are happy that they are all straight and how you want them (well it works for me that way at least! LOL)  Next I stamped my sentiment and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I coated it with Diamond Snow for a bit of bling.  I cut the centre die from the Madison Square set in white and glued it over the sentiment  I cut a thin black mat for it as well and mounted it with foam in the centre of my pinwheel.  Finally, I added five small Camellias in periwinkle with black pearl centre around my sentiment.  The card was then completed with a white pierced mat, a thin periwinkle and a thin black mat and a last white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  7 1/2" in size.  If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this one, just leave me a comment.  The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
