Shabby Chic Happy Birthday DogCompleted by Claire Fleming

Having printed the image I cut out each part and mounted the main dog print onto a piece of shabby cream card this gave me a main image sized 18.6 by 18.6 cms with a little added strength as card doubled.

Using foam mounts the dog and bone decopage was added. Following this I used gold liquid pearl to select out some of the flower petals to add a smudge of pearl to this gave the card a bit of a brightening lift.

Finally taking an A4 sheet of cream (this time more of a yellow cream) I cut out a block 18.6 by 24 cms.

I folded this in half along the 24 cm line gving me a card blank 12 by 18.6 cms. The main image was then mounted on the card blank with the opening towards the base.

This meant that the image raised slightly above the card however this method allows the use of an A4 size card to make this card.

Hope this helps.
