Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hello crafters!  Today's card giveaway features the latest release of dies.  I started with the background and cut the Pxyis Gemini die six times out of milk card, using both cutting edges each time.  I used just the outside cutting edge to give the same shape edges of a piece of sky blue card that I covered with a sticky adhesive sheet.  I peeled off the backing paper and aligned three of the Pyxis die cuts going one way and the other three facing them the other direction.  I used Diamond Sprinkles to coat the remaining exposed adhesive area.  For the focal element, I cut the Vancouver die out of milk card twice.  I cut them so that I was able to rejoin them into a single larger piece.  I used the inside from the Porto die set to cut the inside shape out of them to create a frame.  I cut the decorative piece of the Porto out of Sky blue card and layered it under the frame.  I stamped a sentiment on milk card and layered it to show through the circular opening in the blue Porto die cut.  I used both the Complete petal and the open petal Peony die sets to create a variety of different sized flowers to embellish my focal element with and to also hide the joined area.  I glued them into place across the centre of the die, using several leaves along with them.  I added cream flatback pearls to all the flower centres and to the four corners of the background.  I completed the card with a pierced milk mat, a thin sky blue mat and a final milk coloured mat.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x  9" in size.  If you would like to be included in the drawing to win this card, just leave me a comment.  The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post.  All for now, Sue x
