ORCHID INSERTS: Two Orchid Inserts, One Blank, One with Verse

I printed the insert design onto an A4 regular white copy paper at the original size, as I needed it to fit this insert into a 15cm x 15cm square card, or in imperial terms 6” x 6” square.

I trimmed the insert at the top and the bottom so that there was a tiny margin of the actual card visible.

I then used a silver metallic pen to define all 4 edges before lining the middle vertical line of both the card and the insert and attaching them together using D.S. tape at both sides of the centre line.

I made a simple knot type bow and added a pink gem to the centre of the bow and a pink gem on the right hand side of the insert.

This is such a perfect match for the card I have made from a Clare Walker design cup884277_79993, Orchids. I love this insert and will be able to use it so many more times.

I often make cards this size, and it makes the card finish have such a professional look. Thank you Clare, I am sending you a huge hug. Pamela Horton. The Whispering Platypus.

I just wanted to have more cards with Clare's amazing watercolors in my collection. So I decided to try all possible combinations of matching backgrounds, front cards and inserts. I printed the images onto the professional watercolor paper, cut them out and attached to the contrast (or matching) color mats.

I also added some brads, ribbons or other embellishments if it was necessary to complete my card.
