Jumbo Lacy Borders 2

I chose one of the three borders in the kit for making this card and cut the top layer out three times from a linen effect red 250gsm cardstock and the back panel out three times out of a pink shade of the same cardstock. The cut was so clean that after I'd lifted the three top layers I saw that the inner petals were left on my cutting mat and looked good, so I decided to have a play. I put some transfer tape over the petals and lifted the whole lot off the mat while the tape held their relative positions. I put paper glue on the back of each petal and centre of two of the strips and pressed them into place onto two of the back plates then left the glue dry before removing the transfer tape. I used the outline layer on the third backplate. The base card was made by scoreing and folding an A4 sheet of pink pearlescent cardstock in half and rounding the corners with a punch. A mat of silver mirror card was trimmed to size and again the corners were rounded before I stuck it in place. I used 2mm deep foam tape to attach the border strips along the card before putting on a blank greetings panel.

I haven't put on a greeting yet as I don't know what occasion the card will be given for yet.
