Christmas Cottage Vintage Art Mini KitCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

I resized the card to fit a 6" square card with a narrow border, then printed two copies of the topper and one of the insert on matte photo paper.

I attached the insert and one base image with dst, then cut the frame portion with the major parts of the floral design attached out of the second topper copy and also cut the scene out of the center.

I taped a piece of acetate securely behind the opening then completely enclosed the opening with foam tape and added pieces of foam tape under the floral portion.

I put some crystal bugle beads and micro beads in the center of the scene and carefully lowered the frame over it to make a shaker card.

Before adding the decoupage with silicone gel, I glued bits of gold decoration, similar to that in the design, around the flowers.

Added the sentiment with silicone and glued a bit of lace in the upper right corner. Truly a stunning design and very elegant.
