Diamond CrossCompleted by Gwyneth George

I printed a cloudy blue sky background onto a sheet of Super Smooth white card. I then turned the card over and printed the sheet onto the back. I also printed a copy of the sheet onto cheap copier paper. I cut out the cross shape from the card and attached the sheet, cloudy side down, onto the paper copy so that the design was visible through the cut out portions.

I took some iris folding strips of paper in mirror silver and a mat silver and built up the picture by placing these alternately following the pattern design.

Once the picture was complete I trimmed the card around the image to leave 1cm beyond each point of the cross. I used a fancy fine white peeloff around each section of the cross and just inside the panel edge. I attached the panel to the front of a plain white A5 card base.

I finished off the card by attaching some blue and white flowers around the centre of the cross.
