Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hi bloggers!  You probably figured that this card would be the next up for grabs!  Fresh from it's demo appearance on my shows last week, it is looking for a really good home.  Just leave a comment on this post to be entered in the drawing for it.  I will announce the winner of Saturday's blog post.  I cut two of the Regal Striplet using just the inside decorative die to create a background.  I used spray glue to adhere them to another piece of coconut white card, then used Polar White Sparkle Texture paste to grout it and let it dry for several hours.  Next I cut the frame using the Classic Adorned Rectangle set and the new Blue Dusk card (very similar to Periwinkle but a bit lighter).  I raised it with mounting foam and placed it over my grouted background once it was dry, trimming away the excess from below the frame.  Next I used the scalloped edge die that is part of the Lavish Swirls diagonal die set to add a fine border all the way around the edge of a coconut white backing card.  I seated the frame on it and added some pearls in the corners.  I cut the Thank you die in both white and black and offset the black die ever so slightly to look like a shadow.  I backed it with the oval cut out of Blue Dusk card and glued it in the centre of the frame.  Next I made a single Cornflower by cutting 2 each of several sizes and gluing them together and then adding a black 8mm Dazzler to the centre.  I seated it on a blue satin bow, some white tulle and two of the Splendid Swirls as embellishments.  Finally I made two matching stick pins and added them to my bow.  I did my usual piercing around the edge before adding a thin blue and black mat and finishing with a white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue & Wilsonettes

This stunning & strikingly beautiful card will be the most sought after craft room wall trophy in the history of Card giveaways...this is a perfect example of THE Sue Wilson card style of card that had so inspired me some months back.

Everything about it has the Sue Wilson WOW factor, the winning combination of cutting dies along with the elements makes for an A1 design...although all your card designs are absolutely stunning & inspirational this is the one that will have the most luckiest winner on their knees with feelings of internal boundless joy...

I love the Periwinkle colour way but this Blue Dusk is definitely stand alone stunning.

Sue you should be really proud of all your achievements & the inspiration that you give to your fellow crafters, thank you are 2 words that can mean so many things yet it seems inadequate for all that you do for us...

Take care my friends & to all lovely Wilsonettes...Love’n’ (((((HUGS))))) to you all & to you & yours Sue. Beth B x x x x x
