Cardmaking - Card #2 - fun backgrounds, layered cardstock and watercoloured and embossed images

 For our second card we added ribbon/seam binding to our scrapbook or collaged backgrounds using double sided tape.  Again, we tied the piece to trimmed off to the front using a single knot to simulate a bow before adding these to our card bases.  

The embossed images were ready to go - the black and white (laser printed) ones were watercoloured to coordinate with the backgrounds.  They were then embellished with paper piercing (pattern tracing wheel), and or distressed on the edges.  Their backgrounds were created by placing coordinating cardstock strips next to each other, taped on the back and then trimmed to size for each image.  We embossed our backgrounds and embellished with the pattern tracing wheel and/or the distress tool.  We adhered our images to their layers and then added 3D foam tape to the back and positioned them over the ribbon/seambinding on the front of our cards.  Lots of variations and colour combinations for this set of cards.   Therese
