Pretty as a Rose Frame TopperCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

This is indeed a very beautiful card front design with beautiful golden yellow roses around a frame of the cottage style garden bed.

The blend of the shades of the violets, and the roses and buds really is eye catching, and made even more so, by the 3D effect of the decoupage, and also adding the extra dimension of using the butterflies and tiny bee.

I love this card and so will my Aunt and Uncle who are in care. I printed the sheet provided onto CB 280gsm white card, and cut out all the elements.

I used padded tiny D.S. squares and the step by step method to make up the decoupage and mounted the completed topper using regular D.S. tape to a textured bronze backing sheet which measures 12.5 x 9cm.

I made a white backing sheet cut at 13.5 x 10cm and before attaching it using D.S. tape, I used a bright purple pen and ruler to colour the edges.

The black card front measures, 14.5 x 10.5cm, and the topper is attached using D.S. tape.

For the insert I used a previous purchase to attach to the inside, cup846611_9035 and the verse 2b. I also used the smaller element to make a gift card. I mounted the element onto a bright blue backing sheet which measures 6 x 4.5 cm and then onto a folded white card, the front of which measures 6.5 x 5cm.

As I was able to make two items from the one purchase, I believe is always an extra bonus, so thank you for both of them.
