Bouquet Completed by Peggy Stogdill

Occasion
Valentines & Romance / Romance

Printed on matte photo paper, and added a second copy of the vase and flowers page using the "flip canvas horizontal" command in my photo program.

This gave me a mirror image I could use to create a back for the card.

I scored and valley folded this back image about 2" from the top and glued the front image to it, so the card would open and have space for writing inside.

I traced the vase twice on heavyweight matte photo paper scraps, plus about an extra inch at the top, and glued with a glue stick to the inside of each piece of the vase for stability.

Built the rose bouquet decoupage with silicone gel and added the roses to the vase, then glazed the vase roses and leaves with paper glaze to make the vase look more like china.

Added a peel-off sentiment to the blank tag and attached with silicone gel. Instead of sending flowers, send this--it won't die and doesn't need to be watered!
