DELPHINIUMS: A4 Floral BackgroundCompleted by Marion Kimberley-Scott - The Crafty Piper

Printed and cut out design pieces, as well as matching card design (cup939042_79993) and insert (cup939175_79993). A piece of background paper was cut slightly smaller than the front of base card, mounted onto black card with DST, trimmed to leave a narrow border and secured to right hand side of white base card with DST. Main design was mounted onto black card with DST, trimmed to leave a narrow border and secured on the left hand side with foam pads (just slightly overlapping the background design). Decoupage was added using foam pads. The matching insert was mounted onto black card with DST, trimmed to leave a narrow border and secured inside card with DST. Card was completed with matching satin ribbon around the spine of the card.

For the second card I made a white easel card and cut 3 pieces of background design (slightly smaller than front of easel base, slightly smaller than front of easel upright and slightly smaller than the front of the easel card. Each piece of background design was mounted onto black card with DST, trimmed to leave a narrow border and then secured to each part of the easel card with DST. The main topper from this design sheet was then mounted onto black card with DST and trimmed to leave a narrow border. Before securing this to the front of the easel card I cut a piece of white card the exact size and secured to reverse of topper (so the back side of the easel is all white). This was then secured to front of easel with foam pads, along with decoupage. I used one of the sentiments (secured with foam pads) to act as a 'stopper'. Both these lovely designs are very easy to make up and suitable for a variety of occasions.
