Panoramic Christmas - NativityCompleted by Pat Mottram

I firstly printed the base of the file onto 240 gm card, I then took the base into an image manipulating software and printed a message on the back as suggested.

I printed the central nativity image onto glossy photographic paper rest of the file onto 135 gm Matt photographic paper.

Because the hinges of the card are quite small I put a small piece of red DDT on the hidden side of the base card and the inner image to add a little extra strength, this wasn't necessary just personal choice.

I fixed the inner image and the outside fronts using wet glue to allow for manipulation. I constructed the decoupage using silicone glue. Lastly I added Glossy Accents to the green gem, the centre of the snowflake and the poinsettias, red liquid gems to the berries and glitter to the pine leaves.

This is a beautiful traditional card, the colours of the lovely vintage style image are very vibrant . The first picture shows the outside of the card, the second picture shows the inside of the card and in the final image I have tried to show the substantial depth of the decoupage.
