Surprise Card - Red Rose
A new concept for me. Surprise cards are small - about 4.25 inches square. They
are gatefold cards with interlocking frames on the front with a central topper
with decoupage. Inside the card the wings of the gatefold are decorated and
there is an insert with a greeting and/or image. The card comes with a matching
envelope.
Inside the kit you will receive:
Preview of a finished card.
Sheet 1 with main card and side inserts.
Sheet 2 with outer frame with the main insert in it's centre - this needs to be
cut out; inner frame, topper mat, topper and decoupage.
Sheet 3 - backing design.
Sheet 4 - full sheet of backing paper as an alternative to the backing design.
Sheet 5 - all in one envelope.
Step by step instructions with photos.

I printed the base on firm white card, the topper and frames onto photo paper and the envelope on paper.
I followed the easy instructions. For the two frames, I re-inforced with some firm card.
I used foam pads for the decoupage and to finish I added some additional leaves to the rose and peel offs to the frames.
Very effective card
