The Season to Sparkle 5Completed by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

This Sparkling Christmas greeting card design by Nadege has inspired me to use the whole kit to make a 15 x 15 cm card front card and 4 small gift cards, which I am going to use in a ribbon tied bundle of Christmas greeting cards and tags as a door prize at our next Charity day at my Craft group.

I have used every piece of the kit supplied and only added the glitter glue, ribbon, bow and one peel off sentiment.

I have used a red permanent pen and ruler to define the 4 sides on all the backing sheets and the smaller tags.

The main card is white and I used the main image to mount using padded D.S. tape onto a white, 13cm square backing sheet using regular D.S. tape and then onto a red 13.5cm square backing sheet, before attaching the red ribbon across the front and securing at the back of the red 13.5cm square backing sheet.

I used the smaller main image to then attach using the same tape, and before I completed the step by step decoupage I attached this using regular D.S. tape to the card front.

I completed the insert before adding the bow, the red glitter glue and the silver glitter glue.

I have used all 4 small images to make folded gift tags. I am so thrilled with this bright easy to assemble package of Christmas greeting cards, and Nadege, I am sending you a big hug with many thanks.
