Rainbow Fabric Framed Thank You Card Kit
This kit contains 6 sheets which include a choice of two card bases and two inserts, with two sheets to print off for the topper and four matching decoupage layers.
The finished card measures 14cm x 14cm, and the insert is 13.5cm x 13.5cm, but they can of course be resized.
I have designed the topper with a shadow-effect so you don't have to use all 4 of the decoupage layers if you'd like a flatter card.
The rainbow design makes it suitable for any gender or age.

I love the vibrant colours and the hint of texture in this design. The basic design would be very quick to make, with its choice of inserts but I thought that I would do something a little different.
I printed the card base and layers 3, 4 and 5 on good photo paper and the insert on plain paper. I thought that the rainbow would show up beautifully against a black card base so I cut the printed card base in half. I marked halfway on each of the sides of the original card back and cut them off to form the corners on my card. I left the white inside the base layer but cut the letters out of layers 3 and 4.
I flat stuck the base to my card, between the coloured corners. I then added layer 3 on 1mm foam and layer 4 on 2mm foam. I added Dimensional Magic over all the letters and, when dry, flat stuck them to layer 4. (the second photo shows some of the depth on the front as well as the insert).
A wonderful card and lots of fun to make!
I used thin 170gsm white card to print the layers and insert on, and 250gsm for the card base. Using thin card makes it easier to cut the gaps in the decoupage out.
I used two of the layers, missing off layer 1 and the lettering, so making it thin enough to post as a standard letter when using 1mm foam pads.
I used the card base in my kit but it can of course be used as a topper on any card blank.
I cut out the white areas on the decoupage layers with a combination of a craft knife and small fine point scissors.
I personalised the insert with my greeting using Photoshop.
