Cute Snowman Topper Plus InsertCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

This is a quirky chef carrying a Christmas treat to be delivered with lots of joy for a very special someone.

I have enjoyed making this card.

I really felt like I was smiling, during the whole process of making this very quick and well thought out and designed topper and insert.

I printed the sheet supplied, twice onto the one page of an A4, 120gsm white card. To define the edges of the main card, the main image, and all the backing sheets, I have used a silver metallic pen.

The main ivory card is cut at 25 x 12.5cm and then scored and folded. I attached tiny peel off silver stars to the 12cm square, blue backing sheet before I used D.S. tape to then attach the 11cm square red backing sheet, then the 11cm square silver backing sheet and then the main image.

I then wrapped the silver and the royal blue ribbons together across the front middle of this set of backing sheets securing the tails at the back of the blue backing sheet.

I then used D.S. tape to attach this completed topper to the card front. I used the second copy of the main image to cut away the frame for later use and isolated the main smaller white background image of the chef.

I defined the edges as before and used padded D.S. tape to attach this to the card front. I added the sentiment and the stars to the card front. To complete the insert I used the 2 copies of the insert to attach to a red snowflake print and added a sentiment.

I have left the space for my personal message blank.

Thank you, Deloris this is indeed another winner, which deserves a Christmas hug. Pamela Horton. The Whispering Platypus
