Dangle Front Christmas ShepherdCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

How Cute is this!! It reminds me of my kindergarten teaching Days and organizing the nativity play. The 2 shepherds are decoupaged back to back with the ribbon adhered for the " hanger

string" between the 2 layers.

Use about 7cm -3 inside the shepherd & 3 inside the card &1 visible with the dangle.

I used an A4 200gms Matt white card Scored and Folded,. used D.S Tape to add a Deep Blue &white snowflake sheet as the backing 21X 15. I printed the provided sheet onto Crafty Bob's 200gsm Gloss photo paper , cut out all the elements Decoupaged the shepherd adding the ribbon.. Then I cut out the blank area of the topper, then attached it with D.S.tape , onto the two sides and the bottom edge but not the top edge of the card as i Needed it open to later attach the ribbon inside the card front . I glue pennned where the blank would overlap the card and blue background sheet but again not the top edge of the opening . I allowed this to dry. I then cut through the 2 layers. Next I prepared ther sheet for the insert, and used D.S Tape to attach it to the inside front of the card.. I cut through this sheet matching the previous opening. I used glue pen to attach the opening edges , attached the ribbon and shepherd dangle. left it to dry and then used DS Foam dots to attach the lambs added a scroll label. Crystal elements on the star centres and made extra dots, I also used the crystal elements on the top of the snow hills.Ii finished it off with 2 rows of white self adhesive Starform strips Available at CBob'S merchandise shop.

When I was sure all components were set I carefully closed the opening by using the glue pen and held it firm until the edges began to stick. I am so pleased with the result
