Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hello bloggers!  I did include this card in my favourites from last year even though it hasn't had it's day on the blog until now, but it was a demo from the last shows that I did in 2016 so I thought it counted!  I started with a piece of coconut white card and cut the Family Tree die out of the top except I left the very bottom of the trunk uncovered with the cutting plate.  This allowed me to partially die cut the image, but left it in tact.  Next I used the Double Pierced Noble Circles Set B to cut the area around the tree.  Again, I left the very bottom of the die uncovered so it would not cut there.  I used scissors to nip away the small part between the two dies that was left uncut.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise it.  Next I created a background using an assortment of Pixie Powders.  I used Burnt Orange, Straw Yellow Emerald Green and Aubergine Dream.  I spritzed it with water to activate the powders and dried it thoroughly before adding my tree over it.  I cut a wide border and added the decorative edge from the Trellis Edger to both sides and stamped my sentiment in the middle of it.  I added it with foam below the tree and completed the card with white mats.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8" in size.   If you would like a chance to win this card, just leave a comment.  The winner will be announced on Sat. blog post.  All for now, Sue x
