Hello crafters! Today's card giveaway is a milk and blush coloured little number. The blush is so very pale that it is a bit hard to see in my pics, but it does give the card a very vintage feel, especially when used with the milk card. I cut the Portuguese Background out of blush card twice, leaving a narrow border around both of them. Next I cut both of them in a 3/4 and 1/4 split, then put the two 3/4 sides together to create a larger background for my card. I added mounting foam and raised it over a milk card piece. Next I cut just the inside section of the Portuguese Background out of milk card. I backed it with blush card and cut the centre of both pieces together. I stamped my sentiment and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet and coated it with Diamond Sprinkles. I mounted the centre section over it with mounting foam to raise it, giving the sentiment a recessed look. I finished the card with Perfect Peonies Complete petals cut out of milk card. I used the Dandelion Clocks as centres cut from blush card and finished each flower with a cream flatback pearl centre. I seated the largest flower on a chalk seam binding messy bow and added two matching stick pins as accents. The remaining flowers were dusted around the card. I added cream flatback pearls to the corners and two in the centre to cover my cut background die lines. I completed the card with my usual pierced edge and a blush mat and final wider milk coloured mat. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 8" in size. Please leave me a comment to be included in the drawing to win this card. The winner will be drawn and announced on Saturday's blog post. All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous card Sue - it looks all white on my lappy but I bet it's even lovelier in real life with the blush card. Pat x
I am totally in love with your cards. I have bought some of your dies but have not tried them. I guess I am afraid they won't be as beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
It's beautiful, Sue. I love the Blush and the pearls. Very Victorian.
Beautiful card today. The blush colour is so delicate and I love the stick pins.
Take care everyone.
So very clever Sue. The bow is superb today and with such lovely pin colours to match the card.
