Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hello crafters!  Today's card giveaway is another little number featuring the New York Collection dies!  I started with the background and embossed a piece of periwinkle card using an older folder called Knotted Trellis for a bit of texture.  To the top and bottom edges of it, I added two New York borders, one in milk card and then a black shadow version behind it, slightly offset.  Next I cut the centre square from the Times Square set.  I cut it twice in milk card and twice in black card.  Again, I used the black die cut as a shadow and slightly offset it behind the milk version.  I glued both of the to the side of the card.  For the central element, I used the Madison Square cut in black and cut into a frame.  For the centre of it, I cut the smaller square from the set in milk card and added mounting foam to the edge.  I stamped my sentiment and seated the entire piece over it in a diamond orientation.  I added it to the centre of the card so it was slightly overlapping the side elements.  I created a two tone Camellia flower out of a vellum base and a black edge.  I seated it on a blue and black ribbon bow at the bottom of my focal element.  I paper pierced the edge of a piece of milk card, then added a thin periwinkle and black mat.  The card was then finished with a wider milk mat and pearl accents on the die cuts.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  9 1/2" in size.  If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this one, just leave me a comment and check back on Saturday's ost to see if you are a winner!  No April Fools joke here!  All for now, Sue x
