3 All about the birds card fronts/toppers 4Completed by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

I had already completed making 3All About the Birds 5, and loved the outcome so I have now completed this sheet and tried something a little different.

I have used an ivory card cut att 28x 14cm, which I have scored and folded before attaching the pale green plain backing sheet cut to fit as the insert.

I printed the sheet twice onto the same white A4 matte paper and used the main image from one copy as the base, which I then, using D.S. tape attached to the13cm square bright yellow backing sheet and then onto he black 13.5cm backing sheet.

I have used the bright yellow and bright green narrow ribbons across horizontally, 3cm up from the lower edge of the yellow backing sheet and leaving a 0.5cm gap between the 2 ribbons.

I secured the tails at the back and was then able to attach this finished backing sheet group to the card front.

I used the second copy of the main image to cut out the floral border, retaining even the tiny edge from the bottom of the frame and attached it by turning it anticlockwise once so that the narrow edge which is actually behind the bird will now be at the top to accommodate the full view of the bird which is quite high up in the actual scene.

I have used D.S. tape, spots and squares and thickened white glue as needed to attach this to the card front.

This has given extra depth to the decoupage as many more sunflowers are visible. I attach eth bird using D.S. tape and Spots and Glue as needed.

I used both ribbons to tie the bow and attached it using red power tape. I have attached to smaller image from the sheet to complete the insert and have made 3 useful gift cards with the other small images.

I love this beautiful sunny happy image, thank you for offering it for purchase. Pamela Horton. The Whispering Platypus.
