  • Satin pearl card
  • Red hologram paper
  • Thin white card
  • 28 gauge gold wire

Method

Wire detailCut a square of satin card and mount it on the front of the greeting card using the illustration as a guide.

Pick out the outline of the square in clear glitter glue.

Bend the gold wire to the flower shape using the detail illustration as a guide. A loop of wire in the center of the petals is threaded with red beads.

Stick a piece of red hologram paper on some thin card and cut to the flowerpot shape.

Put sticky fixers on the back of the flowerpot to raise it from the surface of the card.

Mount the flowerpot on the greeting card at the same time trapping the bottom of the stem under the sticky fixers.

We regret that we are unable to advise the reader of a source of supply for the materials used in the projects on the Card Making Inspirations web site.

The layouts and techniques used in these projects are timeless. However, products such as stamps, stickers and patterned papers are quickly discontinued to be replaced by new items. When this happens we suggest that there is a lot of satisfaction in finding an alternative product that suits the design.
