Wild-flower FramesCompleted by Gwyneth George

I took one of the frames from this collection, together with one background from cup401228_1056 and a girl on a log from cup212162_1141 into one of my graphics packages. I decide to use these to make a decoupaged card. I resized the background and put the girl on the log on it. I also made a second copy of the backgorund and cut out the two butterflies, and made two more copies of the girl on the log and cut out the layers I wanted from that. The frame I turned through ninety degrees, reduced in size and made into a greetings panel that says "Penblwydd Hapus" - Welsh for "Happy Birthday". I layed all the pieces out on my A4 working area and then printed it out onto 250gsm, Matte Crafty Bob paper. I created a base card from pale green Adorable Scorable cardstock. I cut out all the pieces I'd printed and matted the base layer onto a piece of white Adorable Scorable cardstock, trimming it to leave a half centimeter border. This matted image was then attached directly to the card front. I stuck the greetings panel to the front of the card using 2mm deep, double sided, foam tape, trapping two flourishes cut out from white cardstock using a cutting file from cup402402_596 in my Silhouette Cameo behind the tape before sticking the greetings panel down. I shaped all the pieces I'd cut out and stuck them to the front of the card using glue gel. These clipart are so cute and will be a great addition to anybody's digital library.

Whether used as a frame around the main focus of a card, or used small like this for a greetings panel, there are a lot of uses for these different coloured flower frames.
