Pink Pansy Valentines Day 8in Vintage Decoupage Topper
I have designed this decoupage topper for a 8x8inch card, it fits with enough edge for a backing sheet. I have added a sentiment for that occassion you might need and you can add the extra layers of the flowers to give your card some depth.
Please check the multi link and the other colourways available. Mix n' match insert panels are available as well for these designs and they start at cup395739_10 for the hint of insert panels and full colour insert panels start at cup 395741_10

This beautifully designed & so well proportioned frame, I felt lent itself to a gift card style. I have made this before in a 6cm closed finish. This one photographed is a 10cm closed finish. This card opens up into a 20cm square, The message is written inside the insert like a "surprise" opening.
For this size I used a reduced topper 10cm square and pansies printed on good quality matte card.This topper I used D.S Wide tape to back it with a blank10cm square. I made 2 the same for the back ommitting the topper and using a printed matching shade for the outside. The insert needs 2 layers of paper for strength, so I printed some pink lace onto paper and cut 2 at 20cm square. Used wet glue to join. And allowed to dry well before creasing & folding.
FOLDING-printed side facing -I folded this in half -opened -in half again- opened it again- turned this over so the blank side is facing and made 1 diagonal fold.
I attached lace behind the topper using D.S tape and with the blank side of the insert facing & the diagonal fold running from L Bottom to R top.I used D.S Tape and attached the topper UPSIDE DOWN to the top left corner. I added the 40cm length of ribbon diagonally to the back of the other finished 10cm square. I then d.s taped this onto the bottom R H Corner RIGHT SIDE UP with the loop in the middle where the folds meet.( The top corner of each Topper meet in the centre of the insert where all the folds cross)
Using a bone folder I closed it into the folds and creased it really well.
I have photographed the finished 10cm sq gift card and the insert for the 6cm gift card. I used CUP 489181_+503 insert for this size trimmed to fit the 12 cm square.
This is such a delightful and useful design. I have made 4 of the different shades available and all look so beautiful and individual, made up, as they are, or according to size , bling and/or embellishments.
Thank you so much and I haven't finished with using the design yet!!!
