Hat Box with Cream Daisies Shaped Card Mini KitCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

Occasion
Floral / Floral

I reduced the size and printed on 250gm matte photo paper. I printed an extra copy of the decoupage on lighter weight matte photo paper, and printed a coordinating subtle backing paper on the backs of the card front and card back.

I lightly scored and valley folded the card back a short way from the top and attached the card front above the score line with a glue stick.

I will use this as a card that opens, so I didn't use the accordion base (the card still stands fine) and I glued the writing panel to the inside card back.

Glued a bit of lace under the daisies before adding the layers, then used silicone gel for the decoupage, adding extra daisies and bow loops, and sticking some glass-headed pins into the silicone under the bow.

Finished with Bisque Liquid Pearl "pollen" on the focal daisy centers. Such a lovely design that I plan to use with a wedding shower gift.
