Fairy Wren Side Diamond Foldback Card KitCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

Occasion
Birthday / Birthday Animals

I printed the design and the envelope on 165gm matte photo paper, though I probably should have followed the directions and printed the inside sheet on plain paper-my card was a bit more difficult to fold, but stands up and displays beautifully.

I assembled the basic card according to the directions given, using a large glue stick, then glued on the base image with DST.

I used thin foam pads to add the decoupage, and the sentiment on the inside. I made craft wire antennae for the butterflies and taped them under the bodies, then attached the butterflies with silicone gel, raising the wings up slightly.

Added gold glitter glue to the butterfly bodies and the large flower centers, and a crystal glitter outline on the border of the lace on the front diamond.

Finished with a vintage ribbon bow on the inside under the sentiment. This is an absolutely gorgeous design with a beautiful matching envelope, and is beautiful front, back, inside, everywhere!
