Vintage Rose Stacked Star ToppersCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

Thank you Christine another one for my stash for Mothers' day, but also useful for many occasions so I have left the sentiment blank. I have made the inserts the same but in the different shades to match the toppers

i printed my own colured card from a basic white matte 200gsm so that I would not need a backing sheet. For both toppers Ii made up the decoupage and made 1cm wider backing sheets ,2 for the pink a patterned floral pink and a faded brown and black for the green. I used a deep green ribbon and peel off pearls for the green topper and deep rose ribbon, lace and pearl drops for the pink. The ribbon is doubled on the LHS to give a loop so that I could tie the bow and the pleats are held down with D/S tape.

For the green topper I made tiny slits in the sentiment and threaded the ribbon through. Around each topper's 2nd layer I have used tiny pearl drops on the inner frame.

It was so easy to make them up and they look so different, I had to photograph both.

I have also entered the verse today.

Although it really is a heart felt message, rather than a verse.
