Hi bloggers! I know there seems to be quite a few lavender themed cards on my Wednesday giveaway, but it is only because I always see comments that it is a favourite colour of many of you. Just trying to please! You know the drill by now, leave a comment on today's post if you would like to be in the drawing to win this one. By the way, I am still waiting for PAPER JUNKIE to claim last weeks card! You have to email me by Friday or I will draw another name and add it to the announcement for this one on Saturday's post. This is the first card I made with the new background die called
Crisscross. I really like this one, mainly because it just cries out for pearls in those little squares (I had to oblige! LOL) It also looks nice with ribbon woven through it although I think that is what most people first see when they look at it cut out. I added some mounting foam to the back and mounted it over
lavender card for dimension. Next I used the
Gold Elements Four and cut the two largest sizes of them for the back layer to my focal element. I cut the largest one in half and to shorten it a bit and placed the other one atop it so they appeared more similar in size. On lavender card, I stamped the
Vintage Birthday stamp by Justrite using a
clear perfect medium and
white embossed it. I cut it out with the
Vintage Labels four die. I stamped my sentiment from the set in black and cut it out with the oval die in the
Vintage Labels four set. I inked through the die lightly with
Milled Lavender distress ink. I made a lavender flower using the method listed under my tutorials at the very top of the blog, then "sugared" it using the
Diamond Sprinkles. I tied a messy bow with
mauve seam binding and seated the flower with some
Bakers twine. I added a lavender mat before finishing with my double white pierced mat layer. And of course, I added all the
small flatback pearls as finishing touches! Finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. Let me know if you would like to win this one! All for now, Sue x
