Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi bloggers!  These weeks seem to be flying by,  don't they!  I feel like it was just yesterday that I was offering the last giveaway card!  It's Wednesday once again and time for a new card giveaway and today's offering is a simple yet elegant card made using the Canadian Background.  I selected milk card and peach card for this one.  I started by cutting the Canadian background out of milk card.  Next, I cut the background into strips, following the lines of the design.  I backed three of the strips with another piece of milk card and added mounting foam to the back of them to raise them for dimension.  I cut another Canadian background, again out of milk card, but this time, I backed the entire background with peach card.  I attached it to a larger piece of milk card and then added my three strips down every other row, leaving a row of the background showing through in between.  I added cream flatback pearls to the raised strips as embellishments.  I made a flower from milk card, using the Perfect Peony Complete petal die set and inked the edges with Tattered Rose before assembling.  Once assembled, I "sugared" the flower with Iced Snow and allowed it to dry before adding it to my card.  I seated it on some cream tulle and added some Maidenhair fern as accents.  I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the Pierced Flags die set.  I made two matching stick pins and added them in behind the flower.  I finished the card with a milk mat which I paper pierced, then a thin peach mat and a final milk mat.  The finished dimensions are 5 3/4" x  7 3/4" in size.  If you would like to be included in the drawing for this one, just leave me a comment.  I will post the winners name on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
