Awesome Topper #2Completed by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

The shades of mauve purple jade and green blend so well in this design of Mandala hearts.

I reduced the size to 50% to ease posting costs. I made the backing first with the same pale shade of green 12x15 cm card, dark pearl green 11.3x 14.3cm paper,&

gold glitter paper 10 x 13.5cm. To this I attached 6mm silver edged purple ribbon with a glue pen at the back to hold firm at 4.5 cm from the top edge of the pale green backing sheet. I attached the same type of ribbon from top to bottom of the main topper with D.S Tape.& made up the mandala, sing tiny Foam dots. I used a gold pen to draw a thin line along the purple edge of the dk green swirl . Then I attached this to the backing sheet and then altogether on to the matt white card (25x 15.5cm). I printed out the full size sheet onto photocopy paper and used a middle sized heart mounted with D.S Foam dots onto mauve craft paper then the same gold paper and attached onto the ribbon and card where the other ribbon crosses underneath .I did the same with a blank sentiment and the "with love"sentiment

Attached it to the ribbon and slipped the purple bow ribbon under to tie a simple bow. I then added self sticking rhinestones to the green swirl, the centre of the large heart and the very top of the ribbon. Even at 50% the beautiful pattern in the main purple of the topper stands out to help make an absolutely beautiful card.

Thank you for the design
