554 Celtic Toppers or BordersCompleted by Gwyneth George

I opened the file in my Silhouette Studio software and cut the layers out of gold metalic, light and dark brown pearlescent Bazzil cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo. I made an easel card and top panel from a sheet of A4 hammered cream cardstock. I also had a panel I'd cut out as waste from another card that I decided to use as a greetings topper. I went round the edges of all the base card pieces and the greetings panel using a gold ProMarker. I used a quick grab wet glue, applied using a metal tip nozzle, to attach the top gold layer to the light brown layer, and glue gel to attach this with a slight rise to the dark brown mat layer on each of the two panels. The smaller of the panels was attached to the base of the card using 2mm deep, double sided, foam tape to act like a stopper for my easel card, and the other panel was attached to the front of the card using 1mm deep foam, using the same foam to attach the blank greetings panel. I've not put on a greeting yet as I don't know the language it will be needed in, or what occasion it will be used for as it could be used as a simple male card for birthday, get well, etc.

I think that these toppers, cut in white and pearlescent white, would make stunning toppers for wedding cards as well. So many uses I can think of.
