Cu Vintage Style Mats Set 1 5x5

I took one of these mats into one of my graphics packages together with letters from cup368521_1294. I used the letters to spell out "Penblwydd Hapus" (Welsh for Happy Birthday) before printing the design out onto Glossy Crafty Bob paper.

After printing and cutting out my design I prepared a base card from a toneing, deep colour, of Adorable Scorable cardstock, making the card around a cm larger than my design.

I went round the edges of the card with a purple metalic marker. My design was then stuck directly to the front of the prepared card using fingerlift tape before I attached a hand made flower to the front with glue gel.
