PINK CLEMATIS FLORAL BACKGROUND (Includes Commercial Use)Completed by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

Thank You Clare, I love this Clematis background sheet, and have used it in many ways.

I made an insert, for a deep plum card, I had completed, that measures 26 x 15.5 cm. To make this insert, I used a photocopy paper image, of the sheet provided, and cut two, 13 cm x 11.5 cm, rectangles. These I attached to the inside of the card with double sided tape. I coloured some peel-off strips, with a dark pink permanent pen, and edged each rectangle with these strips. From the remainder of the copy pieces, I cut out some clematis flowers and added them to the left hand side of the card, I hand wrote the word Clematis, and attached it with double sided tape as well. I also added some tiny, pink glitter stars, and some little clematis flowers.

It has turned out to be a perfect addition, for the card I have made, which is pictured below.

I also made some paper beads, and some tiny roses. I have done some tutorials for both of these, using Clare's background sheets previously.

The card I made is a design by Emy van Schaik, ED Floral border, cup743641_1549. For this card I used the Clematis Background sheet as the backing sheet for the card front. I had printed the sheet provided at the full size onto a good quality card and used a 14.5 x 12.5 cm section of this to attach to the topper with double sided tape and then onto the main deep plum card 26 x 15.5 cm, card with padded tape. I also added a strip of the background sheet, to some deep pink, card for the left hand side, and used a small piece, to cut and use as one of the three hearts, on the front of the card.

A big hug for all the use I have made of this background sheet.
