Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hello there!  Today's giveaway card uses a my Peek A Boo technique that shows a stamped image on two levels.  I started the card by preparig the background.  I used the Ornate Octagon Striplet decorative insert die three times to cut the design into a piece of Iris card.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise it for dimension.  Next I stamped the Scrolls and Squares stamp to die for in black on to a piece of coconut white card.  I cut it out with the Alexandra die and inked through the die with Shaded Lilac distress ink.  Next I used the decorative insert die to cut the design out of the  piece.  This die cut through some of the stamped image so that it was lost when the fall away pieces were removed.  Next I stamped the image again and lined up the top piece so that the pattern showed through the cut out areas, then taped my outer die back into place to cut the bottom piece out so that they matched.  Once cut, I added mounting foam to raise them, but it still allows the image to feel complete because you can see through the cut out areas on the top die cut, thus the peek a boo effect.  I stamped a sentiment and cut it out to add to the centre of the die cut.  I completed the card with a pierced white mat, a thin Iris mat and another white mat.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8 1/4" in size.  Please leave a comment if you would like to be included in the drawing to win this card.  The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
