Wednesday Weekly Card GIveaway

Hi crafters!  Today's giveaway card is a pretty blush, silver and white anniversary card.  I am quite taken with this colour combo lately.  It really has an elegant, but understated appeal to it I think!  I started by cutting a petticoat for the card using part of the Pictor Tri-Gemini die in white, then blush and then silver.  Each piece was assembled a bit longer than the previous one showing the other colour through the cut out above it.  I added a solid white card mat behind the last one with a strip of adhesive tape at the bottom, which was sprinkled with Iced Snow as an accent.  I added flatback white pearls in the middle of the Petticoat borders as accents.  I used the blush and silver fall away bits to add a decorative edge to the top lip of the card as I liked the nice frame it gave to the card.  For the focal element, I used the Double Pierced Oval Noble dies and cut a mult-layered frame using the blush as a base and then added a smaller silver edge.  I added mounting foam and attached it over my sentiment, which was stamped and embossed with silver shine embossing powder.  I cut several of the Exquisite Poppies out of white card covered with sticky adhesive sheets.  I peeled the backing paper off and dipped the petals into Iced Snow, then assembled them.  I seated the larger flower on white satin ribbon and silver metallic lynx (one of our cool new products!)  I added the smaller three flowers on the opposite side of the frame.  I completed the card with white, blush and silver mats to add balance to the card.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8" in size.  If you would like to be included in 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
