Lily Floral Spray Paper Light PinkCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

I printed the sheet provided twice onto the same A4 sheet of good quality white card and once again, singly onto the same type of paper at 20x14cm to use as the insert.

I used my glue tape roller to attach the larger sheet into the insert, keeping a top and bottom white margin, into the cream 20x15cm scored and folded main card.

I made 2 backing sheets, the pale pink cut at 15x10cm, I attached first to the card front using D.S. tape, then edged it carefully with a pink water colour marker pencil.

For the second backing sheet, I have joined a white background random spotty paper to a rose pink backing sheet to make it now measure 14 x 9.5cm and joined in the centre and to this I have attached the left section of one of the smaller images.

I cut this to measure 13 x 8.5cm and attached it to the backing sheets using D.S. tape. I then wrapped the rose pink satin ribbon across and around and secured behind before attaching this group to the card front using D.S. tape.

I have then used the second main image to cut out and keep the main flowers as one piece while carefully cutting away some leaves and stems.

I have attached this to the card front using padded D.S. tape. I have then achieved a decoupage finish to this delightful card front.

I have made a bow from the same ribbon, attached a dragon fly and attached some pink peel off strips and a dragon fly to the insert.

This is a greeting card with universal use so I have left the sentiment until I have an occasion to use it.

The design is so delicate and softly appealing it will suit birthday, wedding, Easter, Mothers’ Day, even Sympathy, thank you for making this sheet available for purchase.
