Choir Boys A5 Mini Kit
A5 arch-shaped card front, greeting banners and plenty of large decoupage layers, using a vintage painting of choir boys singing with candles and hymn books.
Makes a lovely traditional card which is sure to stand out on the fireplace or at craft fairs.

I printed the design onto crafty Bobs matte photo paper and cut out all the elements...I mounted the main image onto a blank cream card and cut around it to make a shaped card...I then added the decoupage using foam pads and silicone gel...this is a lovely design.
I resized the sheets to fit a 5"x7" card, attached the base image to my card front and trimmed away the top arch.
I covered the inside right panel of the card with stash paper, then attached a white die cut writing panel.
I originally thought I wouldn't use all of the decoupage, but it just kept getting cuter and cuter as I worked on it, so I used it all!
My photo just doesn't do it justice-there is so much dimension to this card.
I used silicone glue for the decoupage and this allowed me to shape some of the pieces a bit and curve the larger pieces downward so the design is not as dimensional on the sides and gradually curves upward toward the center.
Finished with a bit of glitter and a tinsel braid. Mine will need to be hand-delivered, or mailed in a box, as it has SO much dimension. For a more mailable card, simply use fewer layers. Destined to be a treasured display piece and keepsake.
