Laptop ComputerCompleted by Gail Pennycuick

I printed this design onto white matte card, cut carefully around the outline with a craft knife but then let the pattern sit in the aperture to guide placement of strips.

I cut strips from black paper and an opal shimmer paper (I didn't have silver!) and attached them over the aperture, as per the guide.

When finished I removed the pattern and turned it over, trimmed the outline and layered it onto a light brown square card.

I used tiny letter rub-ons on white paper for the keyboard, using a Xyron for adhesive and cutting them up first.

I also used more opal paper for the touch pad and attached it with a foam pad. I used two sizes of punches for the main sentiment and coloured peel-offs for it and the borders top and bottom, along with black line stickers.

This design makes up into a very effective card for the computer addict!
