50th Birthday card topper with wine, glasses and flowersCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

I have made a mini book style card and have used this design by, Kristie Hubler, to be the main image on the inside cover of the book.

I printed the sheet provided onto A4 white satin finished 170gsm copy paper. The main image measures 9.5cm square.

I attached this using D.S. tape to the gingham 10.5cm square backing paper before using D.S. tape to centrally set it in place.

I completed the decoupage using the smaller elements provided and attached these using padded D.S. tape and white glue for the finer lines.

I added the clear diamante tiny gems as sparkle for the wine bubbles.

The purple central section of this design made this celebratory image the perfect choice for the purple theme I have used throughout the finished card.
