Freebie Friday

Hi Bloggers.

I thought I'd offer a fairyly recent card up for grabs on Freebie Friday this week -

When I first showed this card it was a sneak peek of a demo so I'll give you a brief description on how it was made here - really easy.

I cut a square of Coconut White Card. I cut the Couture Creations Mercanto Flourish main die out of the centre. I cut the flourish that comes in the same die set out of Coconut White Card and glued it to the back of the frame in the empty corner (top left on this card).

I embossed a piece of Black Card with the Couture Creations Scattered Notes Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. You can't see the join as it's hidden by the frame die cut. I mounted the frame on top of the embossed Black Card using 3d Foam Tape.

I cut the largest 2 circular dies from the Couture Creations Bobtail Set out of Coconut White Card. I cut the Couture Creations Owl on a Branch  Die out of Black Card and popped him on top of the Bobtail die cut.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearl Corners and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

If you'd like to go into the draw to win this card, please leave a lovely comment below. I'll do the draw on Monday - don't forget to check back to see if you've won! The card from last Friday hasn't been claimed yet - are you the winner? - check the winner announcement on Monday!

John Lockwood is continuing with the One Day Special on Hochanda today at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. You can see the items that I have in stock from these shows on my website here. There's 10% off all those items till midnight tonight - discount will be shown at checkout.

I'm heading off up to Hull this afternoon for my last demo of the year at Strikes, Beverley - yay! Weekends in my own bed for the rest of  the year after tonight! I'm hoping to get to my beading group for a couple of hours this morning (haven't been for ages!) before hitting the M1.

Thanks for stopping by.
