Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hello crafters!  Today's giveaway card is fairly straightforward and simple, but pretty nonetheless.  At least I hope you will think so.  I started by covering a couple of strips of white card with self adhesive sticky sheets.  I cut the Lavish Swirls Diagonal dies out of another piece of coconut white card using the cutting edges.  I peeled back the backing paper on the strips of card and added them on top, lining up the edges.  Next I coated the remaining exposed adhesive with Diamond Sprinkles for a bit of bling.  I glued them diagonally on to another piece of white card while keeping them parallel to each other.  On a small piece of white card, I cut two of the Charming Hearts corners, using the same direction die (rather than one of each of the pair).  I sprayed them with Permanent spray adhesive then coated them with Diamond Sprinkles and glued them in to opposite corners.  For the focal element, I used the St. Lucias die and cut a red background using the largest die in the set.  Next I cut the decorative die in white.  I used the smaller die in the set to cut the next shape and I backed it with red card as well.  I stamped my sentiment, covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet and Diamond Sprinkles  and cut it out with the oval from the Caribbean background.  I cut two more charming hearts corners, nipped away the ends so they were both symmetrical and used them as holders on the ends of the sentiment.  Each piece was mounted up with foam backing for dimension.  The card was completed with my usual piercing and matting and layering, red and white this time to match.  The finished dimensions are 7 3/4"  x  8 3/4" in size.  Leave me a comment if you would like to be entered into the drawing to win this one.  The winner will be posted on Saturday's blog post as usual.  All for now, Sue x
