Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi crafters!  Welcome to another Wednesday card giveaway.  Today's card features some pretty Justrite stamps with a layered resist technique. I started with a piece of coconut white card and stamped the Justrite Doily One stamp all over it using a Clear Perfect Medium pad.  I heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  Next I used Dusty Concord Distress ink and inked over the entire background so the doily resisted the ink and the white embossing popped out.  Using the Floral Stitched background, I inked it with a Black Archival pad and over stamped the entire background with it, creating an interesting look.  I matted it with a thin white mat and a wider black mat to frame it.  Using the sentiment from the set, I stamped it  in black and cut it into a long flag.  I made two flowers out of felt, one purple and one white. These were made by folding a strip of felt in half and gluing the edges together, then snipping down the length of it and rolling it.  I seated the flowers on some white tulle with pearl strings and several die cuts of my Petite Vinery as embellishments.  The card was finished with my usual pierced mat layer, a thin lilac layer then a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6" x 7 1/2" in size.  Leave me a comment to be entered in the drawing.  The winner will be announced on Saturday's post.  All for now, Sue x

Sue - there isn't a lot to say about this card apart from WOW it is beautiful - I think I need to look up some new descriptive words as I feel I cannot express just how lovely this card and all your cards are.
Norah I am so sorry to read of your sad news and then to see you have been ill as well. Please take care and I send hugs and prayers for you and all your family at this sad time. Rory must be feeling very upset and confused but I know you and all the family will get there and be able to remember your mother with love and happiness. It will take time.
To everybody else in need I send gentle hugs and I hope live gets better. Helen K xx

Fabulous card today. Love the look you have created with the resist technique and those felt flowers are just gorgeous.

Robin, I waste hours of good crafting time looking for things that go missing in my craft room. They always turn up eventually, usually when I've given up looking!
