You're Amazing

 Hello crafters!  Today is the day that I will be doing the drawing for the free die giveaways.  I am hoping to get it all finished and posted by mid to late afternoon today so be sure to check back later to see if your name is among the winners! For today's card, I have a pretty one from the Scandinavian and Striplet collections.  I started with the Floral Meadow Striplet and cut it on either side of my background without the outside cutting edge,  I inked through the die after embossing it with Tattered Rose distress ink to give the flowers a bit of colour.  I mounted my background on foam and adhered it to another piece of coconut white card.  For the focal element, I cut two of the Copenhagen dies in white and nipped it in apart so that there was a longer and a shorter side to it.  I then rearranged them so that the two longer ends were placed top and bottom and the two shorted pieces  were layered on top, filling in the open space.  I stamped the Floral Flourish stamp using a clear Perfect Medium pad and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I inked it with Tattered Rose distress ink and added some detail to the flowers on the stamp with Distress markers.  I cut it out with the oval centre die from the Scandinavian background and mounted it in the middle to disguise the cut ends of the die cuts.  I finished the card with flat back pearls in the flowers and a couple of white mats.  I used Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue to make dots all the way around to frame the card.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  9" in size.  Don't forget to check back later today!  All for now, Sue x
