3D Box Poppy BasketCompleted by Shelagh E Osborn Wright

I printed the envelope front onto 160gsm paper,and card elements onto glossy photo card and cut them out. I used a red card cut to size for the envelope back and made up as per clear instructions, using power tape. A lovely envelope. I also made the poppy basket, very easily, as per instructions. I backed the Arch piece with glossy red card and used power D.S. tape for all joins. and thin foam for the decoupage. I attached two sentiments to the arch with DST and embellished with a green organza bow and copper gem. I added touches of black diamond stickles to the poppy centres and a tiny red organza bow to the basket. I attached pale green pearls round the arch. A beautiful design, the poppies are gorgeous and look so colourful and eyecatching made up.

I love the way that this fold flat for posting but stands beautifully,too.
