BIRTHDAY TURTLE 5.5Completed by Embellished ExpresShans

I resized and printed the design onto good quality 250gsm digital paper, then fussy cut the card front, topper, insert and additional decoupage images. I adhered the card front to a square card base, leaving a small white border around the edges, and attached the insert to the inside of the card using double sided tape.

I assembled the decoupage layers onto the card topper, using foam tape between the layers for additional dimension, then adhered it to the centre of the card front using a piece of scrap cardboard for additional height.

I added the sentiment, then finished with some cheesecloth, shells and pearls.
