Chipboard, Off white bobble dot card, Black floral backing paper, Red glitter card, Flowers, Red ribbon, Gems, Gem chain and from my stash

First of all I cut an A4 piece of chipboard down to 6x6, along with the red glitter card which I layered onto the chipboard. On top of this I layered both black paper, bobble dot card and ribbon. I then used the Cinch to punch holes along the bottom of the hanger and my Crop-a-dile for the two hanging holes at the top. For hanging the jewellery I used a binding that I opened and fed through the holes at the bottom. To hold this in place and keep secure, I stitched with black cord. The image I printed onto watercolour card, coloured and carefully cut out. I added the die cut flourishes and rose leaves, flowers, buterflies, gems, and pearls. Then the sentiment that I printed, cut out and edged with red Pan Pastel, then finishing off with the gem effect chain.
