Chistmas Girl with Forget-me-nots and Holly
A pretty card front based on a Victorian Christmas postcard, showing a young girl decked in forget-me-not flowers and framed with lace and holly.
The pale blue damask background has a 3D frame and decoupaged bow, bringing a 21st century look to a traditional design.

I used a white card the same size as the main image and used the frame to measure out an aperture on the front of the card.
I sandwiched a piece of acetate between the frame and the front of the card.
I then mounted the main image on the inside of the back of the white card. I put the central panel and the decoupage on the front of the acetate and decorated the berries with red and white gems.
I cut a second piece of lightweight acetate and sprayed with glue and sprinkled it with white glitter.
This I glued onto the inside of the front of the card so that the area between the image of the girl and the frame glitters when the card is moved.
