Old Rose Lady Locket Card KitCompleted by Sarah Lake

This is a lovely set my hardest choice was which elements to use. Just printing this set out once I feel will give you 2 cards easily plus extras to help make up others.

I finally decided to use the backing paper with the beautiful roses on and the 2 sheets that made up the locket.

I cut out the locket and decided that I wanted to give an enamalled look to it so I triple embossed it using ultra think embossing powder. I did this for the front of the locket and the two picture pieces of the beautiful lady on the inside. This makes it look like there has been glass added in front of the photo.

The card base I used was an 8x8 inch in a stunning deep red. I cut a piece of mirri board 20.5cm squared and the rose backing paper 20cm sqaured, this I mounted onto of the mirri card. Wrapped a ribbon round the backing card in a shade similar to the roses on the backing paper.

I made up the locket as described on the sheets. This was very easy even if it had been embossed. Mounted the locket onto the card and wrapped a bow around the fold of the locket to hide any white bits.

Didn't want to add a bow to the ribbon wrapped around the card as I think this would have been to much so added a few puched flowers and gems for added pizzaz.

No sentiment as yet but this will be added to the bottom right of the card once I decide who will be receiving it.

The insert shows the locket closed.
