Lace Band Card Background 2

This sheet has been an invaluable source for a number of cards I have made and some I have uploaded in the last week.

Here I have made a show-case of the Lace Band Background 2, cup1026013_1827, in the making and completing the card, Vintage Victorian Girl decoupage, cup367513_117, a design by Pamela West.

I have used it as part of the backing, by printing the green version at 12.5cm x 8.5cm and defining the edges all round using a mauve metallic pencil.

I then attached this to the 13 x 9.5cm black backing sheet using D.S. tape before I used the 1cm wide lime green satin ribbon to attach to the centre of the black lace band and secure the tails at the back of the black backing sheet.

I used padded D.S. tape to attach the 2 backing sheets to a bright apple green card, cut at 14 x 10.5cm, which is the same size as the ivory card front, using regular D.S. tape.

I completed the card, which has now been uploaded and can be viewed on my home page. I have used the yellow version of this Lace Band Background as an insert for the card I have made from Rudbeckiaspyr, Rudbeckia’s Pyramid a design by Diane Allen.

The completed topper is in autumn tones, so the yellow background is a perfect match for the theme I was portraying.

The left hand side has the sheet printed at 12.5 x 9cm and is matted to the main orange 28x14cm backing sheet with a small version of the card front attached.

The right hand side of the insert has 2 of the images used in a cut and paste technique to make one image 14.5 x 9cm, to which I have attached the verse I have chosen printed onto yellow copy paper and attached using my Glue roller tape.

I have also included a photograph of the inserts without the extra width added to the right hand side, which I have used in a repeat of the same card front, but for a different occasion.

The background sheet has such universal use as a main backing sheet froe a topper or as part or as the entire insert.

The black band area can be used and is ideal for sentiment or ribbon attachments.

Thank you Carol Young for offering this design for purchase, I will have many uses for these delightfully bright sheets.
