Flowers and Flourlishes Backing Paper 1Completed by Heather Beechey

Printed at A5 size onto matte photo paper, then used double-sided tape to attach to a plain white card. Added a plain silver border sticker around the edges. I then delved into my craft stash and found the punched maidenhair fern leaves and the 2 white paper flowers. To add a little interest, I added some Kindyglitz crystalina glitter glue to the tips of the petals on the bottom flower, then ran a light coating along each petal on the top flower. Once dry, I used a wet glue to attach the leaves and the flowers to the backing paper. I then finished off with a large deep yellow rhinestone to the centre of the flowers to bring out the colour of the stamens in the flower border of the backing paper and finally added a silver Thank You sticker.

A lovely backing paper that could be 'dressed up' in a variety of ways and suitable for many occasions.
