Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi crafters!  Another Christmas demo card is up for grabs today.  If you would like to be entered in the drawing for this one, just leave a comment.  I started by coating a piece of black card with Flake and Glitter glue and allowing it to turn clear (it takes a few minutes), then coating it with Persian Dawn Gilding flakes. I cut a bunch  (about a dozen)of Filigree poinsettias out of the piece.  Next I covered a piece of clear acetate with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled the backing paper off, exposing the adhesive and laid the poinsettias down face first so the gilded side was stuck to the acetate.  I covered the rest of the sheet in Iced Snow so that it filled in all the remaining sticky areas.  I used the Frosty Mini Background die as a template to cut around and cut a black frame for my piece.  I cut two of these to make a double step frame and added mounting foam between the layers and on the back, then attached it over my background.  Next I gilded another piece of card with gold gilding flakes and cut the Noel die out of it.  I cut another one out of black card and offset it behind for a shadow effect.  I glued it in the centre of the frame.  I pierced a white mat layer, then cut a thin gold mat and a thin black mat before adding a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are  7" x  8 1/4" in size.  I will announce the winner on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
