Skeleton Leaves Backing Paper in TealCompleted by Mary Trueman

Man's Christmas Card.

I have had this beautiful backing sheet for this card for while but undecided what to use it for, then it came to me whilst doing my Christmas Cards.

I printed the sheet twice A5 size one the colour of the down load image and brightened the second to make a contrast. The darker sheet I attached to a A4 folded card, the second lighter sheet to back a mandala panel I had already from made a layered metallic peel off and acetate, this also I had made sometime ago as try out of a technique I had seen displayed in a craft shop. When I had finished the layering of the card I trimmed the diffident panels with straight line peel off and placed in the centre of the mandala with a blue crystal to match the background paper.

It has made a card with a memorable card without the cute stuff a man would not appreciate.
