Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hello crafters!  Today's card giveaway is a milk and blush coloured little number.  The blush is so very pale that it is a bit hard to see in my pics, but it does give the card a very vintage feel, especially when used with the milk card.  I cut the Portuguese Background out of blush card twice, leaving a narrow border around both of them.  Next I cut both of them in a 3/4  and 1/4 split, then put the two 3/4 sides together to create a larger background for my card.  I added mounting foam and raised it over a milk card piece.  Next I cut just the inside section of the Portuguese Background out of milk card.  I backed it with blush card and cut the centre of both pieces together.  I stamped my sentiment and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet and coated it with Diamond Sprinkles.  I mounted the centre section over it with mounting foam to raise it, giving the sentiment a recessed look.  I finished the card with Perfect Peonies Complete petals cut out of milk card.  I used the Dandelion Clocks as centres cut from blush card and finished each flower with a cream flatback pearl centre. I seated the largest flower on a chalk seam binding messy bow and added two matching stick pins as accents. The remaining flowers were dusted around the card.   I added cream flatback pearls to the corners and two in the centre to cover my cut background die lines.  I completed the card with my usual pierced edge and a blush mat and final wider milk coloured mat.   The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8" in size. Please leave me a comment to be included in the drawing to win this card.  The winner will be drawn and announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x

I am totally in love with your cards. I have bought some of your dies but have not tried them. I guess I am afraid they won't be as beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Sue

What a lovely card. I have recently ordered the Portugese background so it is gratifying to see some different ways of using the die to get maximum value.

The colours a very pretty and each time I look at the card there is something knew to see.

Inspiration central!
