Santas CarCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

I have printed this quick decoupage Christmas image, using white satin finished 170gsm photo paper, for each of the 2 cards I have made.

The smaller card measures 26x13.5cm when completed.

I prepared the main white card and printed the background design by Clare Walker, cup797371_79993 Christmas mistletoe and berries, onto 1 side which will be part of the insert.

I attached the green 11.5cm square and the red with white stars 13cm square and the main image onto the card front.

I cut out all the supplied elements and used D.S. padded tape, cut to fit where necessary and completed the decoupage.

I added silver peel off strips to the outer edge of the main central image and red star shaped peel off strips to the outer edge of the red backing sheet.

I added mod podge dimensional magic to give added dimension. I attached a satin green bow using red power tape. To finish the insert, I have added a tiny image of the topper, a red star embossed peel off strip and the verse I have chosen.

I have used 4 of these tiny topper images to make gift cards. The second larger card, I have used a blue main card cut at 30x15cm.

I have attached the white 14x14cm, backing sheet, the red 13x13cm, backing sheet and the main 12.5x12.5cm image to the folded card front using D.S. tape and added the silver decorative silver strips before completing the decoupage.

I attached the ribbon and bow to the card front using red power tape hiding the tails on the inside before attaching the completed blue 15x15cm insert with the tiny main image and verse I have chosen.

Thank you Ceredwyn, I always love your Christmas images to make my annual set of greeting cards. Pamela Horton. The whispering Platypus.
