Gorgeous Watercolour Florals 2 8x8Completed by Louisa Price

A lovely 8x8 inch card front in lilacs and purples. This comes as a single sheet, and will fill the front of an 8x8 inch card base with no matting and layering, leaving a very narrow white border to frame it.

I printed onto some matt 250gsm photo paper and trimmed to size, before edging the cut lines with a distress marker to hide the white edge.

Although it is lovely as it is printed, I did want a bit of variance between the frame and the image, so rather than printing again on glossy photo card, I made 2 slits, one on either side of the inside frame, and added a piece of cello bag to cover the centre, securing it at the back of the card front with tape.

I then simply mounted it with wet glue to the card front. There are a couple of sentiments on the sheet but I do tend to save them until I know where and to whom the card is going.

Very quick but effective.
