Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi crafters!  Today's card is pretty simple but very striking.  I am hoping that you will think it is a good enough card for a Wednesday card giveaway offering!  I started by cutting the Ray Of light Background die in Straw Yellow.  I backed it with Custard yellow card.  Next I cut the City Skyline die out of black gloss card.  I cut the two largest city dies and layered them across the card.  Next I used the Double Stitched Rectangles Set B to create a multi -layered frame in white.  I added it with foam over the background.  I cut the Hello Mini Expression die in black gloss card and added it at the top of the frame.  White and black mats and layers were added to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/4" in size. Leave a comment to be entered into the drawing to win this card.  The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x

    Who wouldn't want this personal original message from the BEST die designer and the most precious inspirational 'blog friend' anyone of us would be thrilled and honoured to receive this and I don't know why you would think any different. Imagin having a down day, wondering if you feel well enough to concentrate on crafting then walking into your craft space and seeing this beautiful ray of sunshine smiling back at you, it would certainly bring the sunshine back to our life. Thank you for giving one of us the best day ever when we open the padded envelope and smile at the best post ever to come through our post box (apart from when we get our delivery of the newly ordered Sue Wilson dies)
    Have a great day Sue, and roll on Friday - woohoo what a fab Easter.
    Sending hugs your way xx
