Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hello bloggers!  I have found this little gem for the card giveaway today.  I thought it was clean and pretty and one of you might like it as an addition to your abode.  Leave a comment today to be included in the giveaway drawing.  Winner to be announced on Saturday's post.  I started with a piece of coconut white card and stamped the Filigree Leaves background stamp on it using the Flake and Glitter glue.  I stamped it twice across the background then set it aside until the glue turned clear (I cleaned my stamp well in the meantime).  I covered the background with Diamond Sprinkles for a blingey tone on tone look.  Next up, I cut a Lattice frame out of white card and added foam mount to the back in strategic places to raise it for dimension.  I stamped the Vintage Birthday stamp on white card and white heat embossed it.  I cut it out with the matching Vintage Labels Four die and inked it with Peacock Feather distress ink while still in the die.  I stamped the sentiment the same way and inked it as well.  I layered it atop the larger piece to make my focal element.  I decided to add a small floral element to the card, so I went back to the Filigree Leaves background, inked it up with Flake and Glitter glue once again, but this time I stamped it on Aqua card.  I covered it with the Sea Green Polished silk glitter when the glue turned clear.  I used the Posey Flower die set from Heartfelt Creations to cut out the pieces to the flower from the background.  It gives a lovely random swirly pattern to the flower this way.  I assembled the flower and added a pearl to the centre and seated it on a messy bow tied from white seam binding.  I added a small bow of pastel Bakers Twine as a contrast.  I finished the card with a double white pierced mat and some flatback pearls in the corners.  Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size.  It needs a good home, so let me know if you would like a chance to be the parents! All for now, Sue x
