Diamond AlphaCompleted by Margaret Swaby

I printed the letters that I needed onto 170 gsm photo paper and stuck double sided tape to the back before I cut them out.

A handy tip, when cutting out, cut out the middle pieces first to that you have the sides to hold onto.

I did it the other way around at first and it is much more difficult.

I used a white embossed backing paper and the turquoise feature sheet is called " Butterflies & flourishes" and was designed by Ammie Sanders ( sorry I dont know the CUP number) I stuck that in the bottom right corner and edged the 2 inner sides with holographic silver peel off edging.

I stuck on my photographs and edged them with silver & turquoise peel off edging and then stuck on the diamond Alphas.

I stuck a flat backed diamante gem on each diamante on the letters and some tiny flat backed , self adhesive stars to the feature paper.

Finished off with a heart embellishment. Very effective lettering, I will definnately get a lot of use out of these.
