Beautiful Painted Roses Shaped Card , Decoupage & SentimentCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

I printed the sheets on 170gm matte photo paper, printing two copies of the main card.

I cut out both copies, then put narrow strips of tape over the card spines on the back of one copy to strengthen the "hinges", and finally attached the two cards back-to-back with a glue stick (this covered the tape strips).

When dry, I trimmed the outer edges as needed, then colored the cut edges with a Krylon metallic gold marker.

The pyramage and sentiment were added with silicone gel for the smaller layers and foam tape for the large ones.

I finished with some gems and used peel-off corners over the "hinges" to add more strength. It seems I made the card going in the wrong direction :-), but I think it works that way too.

In any case, it's a lovely design.
