Hi crafters! Today's card giveaway is the other demo card from my last shows! I started with a piece of coconut white card and used the outer cutting edge from the Lavish Swirls Diagonal die set to cut the card for my channel. I embossed both pieces with the Rambling Blossoms embossing folder. Once embossed, I highlighted the flowers with Enchanted Gold gilding wax for a soft sheen. I cut the Lavish Swirls diagonal in vintage gold card using the outer cutting edge. I added mounting foam to both embossed pieces to raise them for dimension and create an inset channel for the card too. I glued the Lavish Swirls diagonal down into the recessed channel I created in the card. Using the thin edge die from the Labyrinth Diagonal, I cut two borders and added mounting foam to raise them. I added them on either side of the channel and then finished them with a thin row of pearl strips. I used the Rhodes die for the focal element and cut it in white card. I backed it with Vintage gold card, then cut the centre out to create a frame. I added mounting foam to the back. I cut two Charming Hearts corners, nipped away the end on both to create a symmetrical corner which I glued to the left and right edges of the frame. I used the Santorini die and cut a decorative piece for the inside of the frame. I used the two Kefalonia die cutting edges to create a thin raised frame around the opening. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the tag from the Greek Collection Border, corner, and tag and seated it inside my frame. I finished the card with a white mat with PVA glue dots around it, then a thin gold mat and a final white mat layer. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" 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
