Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

Hi crafters! Seeing that this is the first card that I have ever made using mirror card, I thought it would be only appropriate to offer it on the Wednesday Card Giveaway! I do think that it is quite pretty in real life so I hope that you will too. I started by stamping the Filigree poinsettia stamp all the way around the edge of a piece of gold mirror card using a clear perfect medium pad. You have to be a bit careful when stamping as it is a slippery surface. I heat embossed it with clear embossing powder, giving a bit of texture to the background of the card. Next I embossed a smaller piece of Ruby red card with the Nordic Tiles embossing folder. Once embossed, I coated it with Berry Red sparkle Texture paste and paper grouted the design, removing the excess so the paste was only covering the negative portions of the design. I allowed that to dry overnight, then matted it with gold mirror card and white mats and added it to the centre of the card with mounting foam. I cut the Ornate Holly Framed Peace die in gold mirror card and added it to the centre. I cut a Lavish Joy out of white card twice and stacked them together, gluing them in the centre of the die. I stamped several of the same poinsettia stamp onto white card and heat embossed them with gold embossing powder, cut them out with the matching Poinsettia Addition dies and created three flowers for the card. I seated the largest one in the lower corner and the two smaller ones in the opposite corner. Berry Sprigs were cut and added to all the flowers as accents. The card was completed with white, red and gold mirror mats. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. Please leave a comment to be included in the drawing to win this one. I will announce the winners name on Saturday's blog post. All for now,
