Blue poinsettia Christmas verse insert 4Completed by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

I have made extensive use of this beautiful design of an insert by Stephen Poore. I printed it several times and in several sizes. The topper is printed twice onto 170gsm white photo paper.

I used one copy as the main backing sheet and used the second copy to cut out and reserve the 2 main elements to add to the topper as decoupage.

I have attached yellow, gold gloss foil and blue snowflake backing sheets onto the white card front using D.S tape and the completed topper is attached using padded D.S. tape.

I have added glitter stars and a bow as extra embellishments and used another copy of the ribboned bow as part of the insert.

I have also printed the sheet 9 times onto the another A4, 170gsm sheet to give me 9 images with which I have made a set of 9 gift cards.

N the Christmas card I have completed, Christmas Mandala, cup99909_1549, a stitching design by Emy van Schaik, I have also used this as an insert to great effect.

I have used the insert in another of Stephen’s designs, cup1075983_659, 3Red Oval vintage Santa card fronts, toppers, 6 and I will be able to make many cards with this lovely sentiment to use as a quick and easy embellishment.
