Diamond Portal 1Completed by Peggy Stogdill

Reduced the size slightly to fit on 8 1/2" x 11" sheets of matte photo paper. After cutting away the card front and insert, I used spray adhesive to attach them to coordinating stash paper, let them dry, and cut them out again to make them more sturdy.

I scored and valley-folded the card front near the hinge, then used strong dst to attach the insert at the hinge. Added the decoupage pieces with silicone gel. For the flowers, I removed a bit more of the background for each layer, ending with just the most forward focal flowers for the last layer.

Finished with crystal giltter glue on the "diamonds", yellow glitter glue on the flower centers, and a diecut sentiment, .
