Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi bloggers!  Another demo card for the giveaway today, I hope you don't mind!  I started by embossing the iris card with the Rambling Blossoms embossing folder.  I cut a strip of white card and used a score board to add some linear texture to the lower half of the card.  I created a border between the two by cutting two of the Delicate Filigree Buckle bar die in black.  I decided to remove the buckles and just put them together as one continuous border, showing another way to use the die.  I added white flatback pearls to the design as accents.  For the focal element, I cut the Emma die in black and backed it with white and cut a frame in the centre.  I used the smaller die from the set to cut a decorative centre which I recessed down into the die (which had mounting foam added to the back).  I cut a Zoe die in white, backed it in white then cut it in half and added it to the two ends as accents.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the oval from the Zoe set.  I embellished the focal element with a few small orange blossom open petals cut out of Iris card.  I added a white pierced mat, a thin black and iris card layer and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  8 1/2" in size.  Leave me a comment to be entered in the drawing for this one.  The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
