Wednesday Weekly Card GIveaway

 Hi crafters!  A black and white beauty for today's giveaway card.  This card was also one of the demos from my last shows (way back when!).  I started by cutting the frame out of the Classic Adorned Squares.  Once cut, I coated the frame with Cosmic Lacquer and spread it all over the frame using my fingers.  I set it aside to dry, them began working on the acetate piece in the centre.  I selected the Lattice mask and taped it to my acetate with removable tape on all four sides.  Using Polar White Sparkle Texture Paste, I pulled it through the mask with a plastic palette knife, removing any excess and returning it to the container.  I carefully removed the mask and set it aside to dry (it takes longer to dry on acetate than it does on card)  Once dry, I attached my frame over the top using mounting foam and trimmed away any excess from below the frame.  I mounted my frame on another piece of white card and matted it with a thin black mat.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Pierced Flags die set, using a slightly larger die cut in black as a mat.  I mounted it across my frame.  Using both the open and complete petal Camellia die sets, I created three black and white flowers and attached them at the end of the sentiment strip.  I seated them on a thin satin ribbon bow.  I cut a couple of the Splendid Swirls and added them around my flowers.  The card was then finished with a white pierced mat layer, a thin black mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  7" in size.  If you would like to be included in the drawing for this one, just leave me a comment. The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post.   All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, I love the monochrome look, black and white so side by side always, very smart!

I have never used acetate like this on a card, it looks pretty nice, so I must have a go.

Good luck everyone winning this card,

Hugs to everyone

Goodnight

Hi, Sue and fellow Wilsonettes, hope you've all had a good day.
I don't tend to go a bundle for Black and White cards, but the use of acetate and white sparkle, texture paste on this card, along with the striking floral embellishment are quite stunning.

Pam, hope your daughter, Kelly enjoyed her 40th Birthday!! X

Hugs and Best Wishes to you all,

Angela in S. Wales Xx
