I reduced the size slightly and printed on 200gm matte photo paper, and printed two copies of cup535509_425 backing on 165gm photo paper.
I rough cut the card back and card front and used spray adhesive to back each one with the backing paper I'd printed.
This allowed me to use the sheet marked "back side" as an insert, covered all surfaces of the card, and gave it extra sturdiness for standing.
I scored a line, and gently valley folded it, on the card back running it just below the scrolls on the pergola roof, adding strong dst above the scored line, and attached the card front.
Added the decoupage with foam pads for large areas, silicone gel for small ones, punching a heart-shaped hole in the top copy of the birdhouse and attaching some dark paper behind it on the previous copy.
I printed another copy of the decoupage and added some of the individual roses, etc. then finished with touches on glitter on the butterfly wings.
Absolutely beautiful inside and out, and stands up perfectly.
I printed onto glossy photo card. I attached the front to the back using DST across the top edge. I left the background section in rather than remove it.
I used a small piece of pink card which I scored & folded then attached to the reverse sides of the front & back using DST which made the card stand well.
I assembled the decoupage using 2mm foam pads then finished with pearls.
