This is so bright and colorful and was a challenge for me, to 1. Cut out using both knife (Blade) and fine scissors.2 to decide how best to show this beautiful doily mandaly in 3D

The Elemnts were cut out first from Crafty Bob's matt paper and attached in order with Double sided foam. I then attached the mandaly to Dark Blue pearl paper cut to shape approx 3mm larger. the card front topper is 15x15 cm and made from Dark blue pearl paper. I made the lace paper myself by using the photocopier, blue pearl paper and lace then cutting out the section with the scallop for the next layer.

I matted a double layer of Satin Ribbon/Blue1.5Cm wide and mauve 1cm wide before adding the mandalay. I sed the rest of the lace paper for the insert and the gift card and finished the card with double ribbon bow. It took me qite a while to com;plete the card, But i was thrilled with the outcome and willmake it again and know next time will be much easier
