Christmas Tree & Poinsettia Card Topper & DecoupageCompleted by Peggy Stogdill

I reduced the size to fit a 5"x7" card, allowing for a border, and printed two copies on matte photo paper.

I layered one copy of the topper with two stash papers onto a gold pearl card.

I cut the scenic opening away from the second topper, taped clear acetate to the back of the opening, and enclosed it with foam tape, adding more foam tape as needed to the rest of the topper back.

After putting a small amount of gold micro beads onto the center of the tree scene, I carefully lowered the "window" copy onto the first topper to make a shaker card.

The sentiment and decoupage were added with silicone gel (the decoupage from the second copy will be lovely on another card), and I finished with gold micro beads on the flower centers, holly peel-off corners, and matching insert, cup574490_68.
