Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi bloggers!  Today's card giveaway is a pretty aqua and white card (I seem to be using aqua quite a bit lately, huh!)  I started by cutting the Stacked Diamond Striplet in the bottom of the card, using just the decorative insert die.  Next I did a letterpress on the entire background and inked up the Bed of Roses folder with Clear Perfect Medium and placed the die cut background into the folder.  I ran it through the GC which transferred the ink to the floor of the design.  I covered  it with Pearlescent Mica powder to give it an all over sheen, then dusted it with a tissue to remove any excess.  I backed this piece with aqua card so it showed through the cut out area.  For the focal element on the card, I cut two of the  Vancouver die and then cut them in half just past the centre point, keeping the two larger halves.  I cut the Lisbon die in aqua and backed it with white backing which I cut the centre out of with the Porto die.  I attached the Vancouver dies to the back of the Lisbon die so they were peeking out from underneath and trimmed away any area that showed through the centre cut out area.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the circle centre die in the Porto set and made a faux mat for it in aqua.  I mounted them in the centre of the frame.  I completed the card with some flatback pearls and a paper pierced white mat, a thin aqua mat and a final white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  8 3/4" in size.  Leave me a comment to be included in the drawing to win this one.  Then check back on Saturday's blog post to see if your name was drawn!  Easy as pie!  All for now, Sue x
