Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi crafters!  Today's card giveaway is the other demo card from my last shows!  I started with a piece of coconut white card and used the outer cutting edge from the Lavish Swirls Diagonal die set to cut the card for my channel.  I embossed both pieces with the Rambling Blossoms embossing folder.  Once embossed, I highlighted the flowers with Enchanted Gold gilding wax for a soft sheen.  I cut the Lavish Swirls diagonal in vintage gold card using the outer cutting edge.  I added mounting foam to both embossed pieces to raise them for dimension and create an inset channel for the card too.  I glued the Lavish Swirls diagonal down into the recessed channel I created in the card.  Using the thin edge die from the Labyrinth Diagonal, I cut two borders and added mounting foam to raise them.  I added them on either side of the channel and then finished them with a thin row of pearl strips.  I used the Rhodes die for the focal element and cut it in white card.  I backed it with Vintage gold card, then cut the centre out to create a frame.  I added mounting foam to the back.  I cut two Charming Hearts corners, nipped away the end on both to create a symmetrical corner which I glued to the left and right edges of the frame.  I used the Santorini die and cut a decorative piece for the inside of the frame.  I used the two Kefalonia die cutting edges to create a thin raised frame around the opening.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the tag from the Greek Collection Border, corner, and tag and seated it inside my frame.  I finished the card with a white mat with PVA glue dots around it, then a thin gold mat and a final white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are  7 1/2" x  9" in size.  If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this card, just leave me a comment.  The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
