Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi crafters!  I really liked the stamped image in today's card so I thought you might enjoy a different sort of card for the Wednesday giveaway (at least I hope so!).  I started by selecting a sheet of the Classic Elegance paper pad in the blue shade.  I cut it into three strips following the lines in the pattern.  I added mounting foam and raised all three panels onto another piece of coconut white card.  I cut another strip of paper using the pattern on the reverse side.  I cut a white border from the Swiss Border die and added it along the bottom of the strip.  I mounted it on the diagonal across the background. I added a floral element by cutting two flowers from the Blushing Rose set and seating them on some thin white satin ribbon.   I stamped the Rose Nostalgia Stamp to die for and cut it out with the matching Bern die.  I used the inside from the Bern die to cut it into a frame.  I coloured the stamped image using both Distress Markers and coloured pencils.  I stamped a sentiment and added mounting foam to the frame to raise it over the sentiment.  I made a thin frame using the inside dies from the Zurich and the Bern to highlight the sentiment.  The card was easily completed with a white on white pierced mat and layer.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8 1/2" in size.  I will draw a winner from the comments left on this blog post and announce it on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
