Lattice And Oriental Backing PanelsCompleted by Gwyneth George

I cut this "Oriental" panel out of gold textured cardstock. I made an A5 base card by scoreing and folding an A4 sheet of red Satin board. I cut a strip from an oriental writing background from my crafty stash and stuck this down towards the left hand side of my base card. I took some red, shiny, ribbon and threaded it through the outside holds of the panel, tieing it in a knot at one corner. I also threaded small pieces of the same ribbon through oriental coins (again from my crafting stash) and attached these below and in front of the panel. The panel was then attached to the front of my card using 2mm deep, double sided, foam tape.

I hadn't got a cutting file similar to this oriental backing panel in my digital library so it was something different to work with and design a card with.
