Art Nouveau Bright & Butterflies - Hot Calla Lilies 8x8Completed by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

This is a stunningly beautiful card front by Anne Lever, to simply cut out and add to a plain card front.

This will make a very quick and easy card.

I printed the sheet three times as I wanted to use the extra elements in a decoupage, as I really love the extra fiddling and cutting and taking my time.

I used one copy of the main image as the main backing sheet and using padded D.S. tape mounted it onto the pale teal version of the Lush card front, cup 322770_1121, cut at 13cm square.

I then used regular D.S tape to attach this to a deep rose pink 14cm square backing sheet. I then removed the outer frame from the second copy of the main element, retaining the overhanging flower, leaves and butterflies.

I used padded D.S. tape to attach this to the topper.

I made a pale pink 29 x 15cm card which I folded and scored in half before attaching this topper.

I used the third copy of the main element to dissect parts of the lilies and leaves, and cut out the butterflies to attach using tiny padded D.S. tape.

I added the sentiment using a pink backing sheet and D.S. padded tape.

I added a silver delicate look peel off to the edge of the pink backing sheet. To complete the insert, I used some extra pieces of the image, the sentiment, and the smaller image of the main element supplied, copied onto 80gsm white copy paper, using D.S. tape onto the Lush card front sheet cut to size..

This is a truly beautiful card, and I have made it again in the very simple quick and easy style as originally offered with the sheet.

Thank you Anne for this beautiful and elegant design, it has such universal usage, I know I will used it many rimes.
