Arch Card Kit - Anemone
Arch cards have an arch shaped aperture on the front, through which you can see the main image. There is a picket fence to add along the bottom of the front - I suggest you use thick foam pads to attach this so that the design underneath will show through better (note the fence sticks up above the
bottom of the arch so don't put foam pads or glue at the top of the fence except for the two outside fence posts); then there are various elements to add
to the fence and the arch. Most of these can be added wherever you like. Sometimes the main image inside the card is decoupaged and sometimes it isn't - it varies according to the design. Each card also has a matching envelope.

With this design i first printed the main card out onto satin photo card for sturdiness, then the rest of the pages which contained the elements i printed onto satin photo paper, excluding the envelope which i printed on heavy duty paper.
I first made up the envelope, then with the main card, i cut out the inner arch on the front of the card, scored and folded in the middle, then this made my card, i then placed the backing sheet onto the inside back, then added some lace inside the arch frame, so looking on the outside there is lace all around, i then made up the rest of the design, this i did using 2mm sticky pads and placing a happy birthday sentiment at the top of the arch, this is a stunning design when made up, could be used for a number of ocassions, was very easy to cut and make up and is beautiful when done.
