Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi bloggers!  A pretty aqua and white card is up on offer for today's card giveaway.  I started by cutting the decorative die from the Auckland  die set in the upper portion of the card.  I backed it with aqua card then used the smaller inner cutting edge to cut an aperture.  Next I used the cutting edge from the New Zealand Noble border to cut the lower portion of the card, giving it an interesting shape for my channel.  I added mounting cushion to both pieces.  I used the Dot Matrix Pinpoint Embossing Folder to create some texture for my channel area.  Next I used the smaller decorative die from the Auckland and cut into a piece of aqua card, then mounted it behind my aperture.  I stamped a sentiment from the Delightful Sentiments clear stamp set and glued it into place in the aperture opening.  I mounted both pieces with a split between them to create the channel and the embossed piece glued into that opening area.  I made a flower from the Sweetheart flowers using aqua card as the base with a white edge, then mounted it on some thin satin ribbon, white tulle and Lace Edged Leaves as accents.  I completed the card with a paper pierced white mat (using my piercing ruler), a thin aqua mat and a final white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8 1/4" in size.  Please leave a comment if you would like to be entered into the drawing to win this one!  The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post so be sure to check back then.  All for now, Sue x
