Purple Expressions Designer Resource Kit - Cu4cuCompleted by Gwyneth George

I took several elements from this kit, together with one lady in an evening dress from kit cup408307_1443, into one of my graphics packages. I moved around, duplicated, resized, etc., until I was happy with the layout for the front of an A5 card with an additional layer of the lady against a square purple panel to decoupage onto the front. I printed the sheet onto 300gsm white cardstock and cut out the main card front and the separte lady on the square panel. I created an A5 base card by scoreing and folding an A4 sheet of 250gsm, black, cardstock. I went around the cut out panel with a copper metalic marker and then stuck this to the front of the card using finger-lift tape. I then used some 1mm deep, double sided, foam tape behind the square panel, shaping the dress of the lady below the panel and putting some glue gel there before sticking in place on the front of the card. I've put the greeting "Penblwydd Hapus" - Welsh for "Happy Birthday" - on this particular card, but I can change the greeting before printing if I need a different greeting or the greeting in a different language next time.

I love the shades of purple in this kit, and also love the subtle patterns that are in the backgrounds.
