Cute Pink Hearts BackingCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

Thank You Karen Wyeth for this very versatile and most useful back ground sheet, which has become available for purchase at the right time for me.

I have been able to use it several times over the last 2 weeks.

I have used it as a background and insert for 2 different greeting cards by changing the original hues to be more into the bright baby pink shade.

To complete both these projects, I have used A4 200gsm white Crafty Bob matte photo paper to print the sheet provided onto both sides and cut the sheet to suit the finished card size.

And then scored and folded them to use as the main card and the insert.

This negated in each case the need to attach a separate sheet as an insert. The stitching and beading design is cup724074_1549, ED159 Border, designed by Emy van Schaik, and the topper is from a design by Deloris Thiede, cup942588_74027, Sassy Cheryl’s, I Positively Love You.

I have used similar embellishments on the inside of both these finished cards which can be viewed on my home page.

The card I have just completed today is an Easter Card and I have kept to the original shade and used that as the theme for the topper, using the original sheet printed twice onto A4 white 80gsm copy paper and then cutting the sheets down to make 2 sheets the correct size to match the inside of the card.

I have used a verse I have written to print and attach, and some of the elements from the front of the card as embellishments.

This delightful versatile heart design is such a useful tool to keep in mind for many occasions.

I have already used it for 3 greeting cards and I am currently working on the 4th. Pamela Horton. The Whispering Platypus.
