PAINTED BLUE SKY & WHITE CLOUDS: A4 Background/Backing Paper With Commercial UseCompleted by Marion Kimberley-Scott - The Crafty Piper

I made a white easel card and cut 3 pieces of background design (slightly smaller than front of easel base, slightly smaller than front of easel upright and slightly smaller than the front of the easel card).

Each piece of background design was mounted onto black card with DST, trimmed to leave a narrow border and then secured to each part of the easel card with DST.

A topper was made combining my own photograph, then mounted onto black card with DST and trimmed to leave a narrow border.

Before securing this to the front of the easel card I cut a piece of white card the exact size and secured to reverse of topper (so the back side of the easel is all white).

This was then secured to front of easel with foam pads. I used a rubber stamp on a piece of the background paper, mounted onto black card, trimmed and secured with foam pads to act as a 'stopper'.

A 'fun' design made from a lovely background paper.

For the second card a piece of the background design was cut slightly smaller than the front of base card, mounted onto black card with DST, trimmed to leave a narrow border and secured to front of white base card with DST.

Design sheet cup958876_79993 was mounted onto black card with DST, trimmed to leave a narrow border and secured to front of base card with foam pads.

Decoupage and chosen sentiment were added using foam pads.

Card was completed with matching insert (cup958877_79993) and a length of blue jute secured around the spine of the card.

A super finished card, made by combining all 3 of the design sheets.
