Floral Christmas Bells Background Kit 2Completed by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

If you enjoy the time spent in making a card, then you will love the results, which in turn will make the time well spent.

This is one of those cards.

I love the sheets provided by Moon Flower Cards and have use #9, to print, at the actual 20cm square size, onto 200gsm matte white card.

I cut this out and using a gold metallic pen I edged both inside and outside edges. This I then painted using a very soft fine brush all over the outside with Gold Glitter dust and allowed this to dry.

I have added the topper the Noel from the design by Lisa Mayette cup811862_2195 I have prepared the elements for the topper.

A 200gsm gloss gold12 x 7cm backing sheet, the NOEL section and cut 2 of the noel sections at 13x6cm.

I have edged one Noel main image strip with the gold Dust and cut out all the letters carefully from the second image.

I have used red and gold glitter to give depth and to high light the letters. I allowed all this to dry and then flattened the main card under a book weight before putting the card pieces together step by step.

I have added the gold peel off sentiment.

I have made the insert by overlaying an acetate image of snowflakes onto the #9 sheet and printing the result.

I have added the Christmas wishes over the top of this and left space for my special message. The finished closed card measures 20x10cm (8”x4”). I have made an envelope and lined the inside with the #9 Print to give a professional finish to the completed greeting card.
