Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hello bloggers!  Custard card, it is just such a lovely shade of butter yellow that I just have to reach for it from time to time!  Today's card uses the Quilted Block Striplet in a slightly different way.  I cut three of them in coconut white card and backed them with custard card.  I used a paper cutter to cut the blocks apart and I selected the top and bottom blocks which are the same from each of the three striplets.  I mounted these blocks individually with mounting foam into two rows of three blocks, spacing them evenly apart.  I raised them over another piece of coconut white card.  Next I cut the Complete Camellia and created two slightly different sized flowers out of coconut white card.  I used Mustard seed distress ink on the edges to just tinge the flowers with a slight yellow to them.  I assembled the flowers then added Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue to all the petals and sugared them with Iced Snow.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Pierced Flags die set, cutting a slightly larger one out of custard card to use as a mat.  I added it across the centre of the card, then embellished the end with my flowers.  They were seated on some white tulle and Mosaic Leaves and Splendid Swirls were added as embellishment around them.  I completed the card with a white pierced mat layer, a thin custard card mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x  8 1/2" in size.  If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this card, just leave me a comment and check back on Saturday when I will post the winner's name.  All for now, Sue x
