Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hi bloggers!  Here is one of the cards from the first set of shows.  I started by embossing the coconut white square piece of card with the Rose Bloom Pinpoint embossing folder for texture.  I matted this on to a larger piece of blush card that had a wide border around it.  I added double sided sticky tape to the edges of the blush card, then sprinkled Iced Snow over the top for a blingy edge.  For the focal element, I stamped the Retro Roses stamp in black.  I used Distress markers (tumbled Glass, spun sugar, victorian velvet, forest moss) to colour in the image.  I cut it out with the matching Sydney die and used the inside cutting edge to cut it into a frame.  I added mounting foam and placed it in a diamond orientation in the centre of the card. I added small dots of Cosmic Lacquer to the circles around the inside of the frame.   I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the smaller circular cutting edge.  I inked it with Spun Sugar and mounted it in the centre of the frame.  Finally, I cut two small butterflies from the Delicate Garden frame and added them to the upper corner.  I tied a messy bow out of white seam binding and seated a flower on it that was made from the Perfect Peonies die set.  I "sugared" with Iced Snow it then added Lace Edged leaves to it as accents.  Two matching stick pins finished off the floral element nicely.  The final pierced mat and layers were added to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  If you would like to be entered into the drawing to win this one, just leave me a comment.  The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
