12 x A4 Floral BackgroundsCompleted by CARDS BY HILDA

I have used three of Hilary's beautiful designs for these cads, all printed onto white card A4 size. I used the whole of the yellow sunflower card, folded as DL size, but leaving the back slightly larger, used an edge cutter and threaded deep yellow satin ribbon through. I used a small piece of the lighter shaded card, for the sentiment to go on, making sure the pattern matched.

The green and purple flowers I cut out two shapes out using a template, and laid them on a 6" x 6" white card. I also cut one purple shape from my card stock using the template and one 3" strip of purple, laying it first on the right of the card gluing in place, then a patterned shape glued slightly overlapping,, purple shape and finally the last patterned shape is glued into place. A purple bow and silver peel off edging around the card completes it.

Lastly I used turquoise pearlescent card and used a wide strip of the turquoise pattern design glued to the centre, edged with a pretty silver peel off edging, and mounted the silver sentiment onto scrap pieces of plain and patterned card.
