Floral Papers III - Shabby Chic ColorsCompleted by Pamela Horton The whispering Platypus

I have made really good use of the beautiful Floral papers designed by Sandra Auzina. The soft jade green, Shabby Flowers H03 I printed onto A4 satin finished white 170gsm photo paper.

I scored and folded it and cut it down to measure 28.5x14.5cm and used it as the main card for the Pansy Perfect Square card, cup1118800_168, a design by Kirsty Green.

When I completed the topper for the card front for this card, I made 3 extra backing sheets. For the largest of these, which measures 13.5cm square, I have used the soft plum, Shabby Flowers H05.

I have made an extra insert for the card, which is attached to the back section only of the inside of the card using D.S. tape.

To make this extra insert, I have used the dusty pink Shabby Flowers H04, to print onto both sides of A4, satin finished white Photo paper.

I scored and folded it before attaching it in place.

I have used various elements from the several copies I had made in preparation for completing the Perfect Pansy greeting card as part of the step-by step, decoupage and embellishments.

The softness effect of the background shading in this set of 3, I have used ideally suits the softness and female theme of the accompanying elements of the original greeting design.

Thank you, Sandra, I have planned quite a few greeting cards using some of the other sheets in the set.
