Exploding Verse - RetirementCompleted by Margaret McCartney
OccasionI printed the design onto good quality photographic paper and cut it out. I scored and folded an A4 card landscape. I attached the design to the card using double sided tape. I assembled the pyramid and added the corners using thin foam tape.
I used 160gsm paper for the card middle and the octagon verse sheet and this worked well and also gave the explosion centre some strength.
I added the octagon pictures to each corner using double sided tape. I attached the card middle and the explosion insert to the inside of the card using double sided tape. A lovely card when finished and it really doesn?t take long to make.
The explosion insert is a nice surprise when the card is opened.
