Tartans for Christmas

I took one of the locomotives from the kit cup383571_33, together with two backgrounds from this kit, into one of my graphics packages.

I made the background for the card topper, with a greeting panel, from the two backgrounds, making it at around half an A4 size.

I then put on the train and resized to fit, giving it a bit of a frame. I then took two copies of the train photo and created two layers of decoupage from them, putting these on the other side of the A4 working area.

I printed the resulting sheet out onto Crafty Bob paper.

I prepared the base card by scoreing and folding in half an A4 sheet of black cardstock. I cut out the sheet I'd printed out and stuck the layers onto my card, sticking the base layer directly to the card with a roller glue tape and using 1mm deep, double sided, foam tape for the layers of the train image.

Printed onto Matt photo paper and used as a backing for toppers printed from cup327764_466.

Although I have only shown one design this is a lovely set of background papers which could be used on lots of different projects.
