Diamond Portal 8Completed 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 giltter glue on the "diamonds", a diecut sentiment, and various colors of Flower Soft on the scene. So pretty, and it stands up perfectly on the little flat piece.
