Rough Diamond Backing Paper - PurpleCompleted by Gwyneth George

I printed the sheet onto the best quality, heavyweight, photo paper and then trimmed off the white border, scored it and folded it in half. I wrapped a piece of ivory satin ribbon around the card some 1.5" from the bottom. I then stuck on an image of a girl which is a digi-stamp I'd coloured in with ProMarkers. I put on a greeting panel with a "Penblwydd Hapus" peeloff greeting (Welsh for Happy Birthday), and finished the card off with some flowers with sticky back gem centres that I'd got left from a previous project.

I like the shading that's a part of this background as it brings interest to the background and doesn't make it overtake whatever's on top.
