For today's Online Card Classes Copics for Card Makers class we learned several ways to incorporate backgrounds into our cards.

I colored the ballerina when I only had 9 copic markers and I wanted to use her on a card because she is so cute. (See my post for day 5 of the Copics class to see her as just a colored image). I decided to try the banner background technique for this lovely lass. (Don't look too closely because I messed up the banner). I still felt it deserved a spot on a card though because after all - the class is for card makers and our ultimate goal is to create cards.
As you can see I repeated yesterdays's technique of leaving part of the image hanging over the edge of the focal piece. I really like that effect.
I used 2 different sizes of rounded rectangle dies to cut the focal piece and the background paper (a scrap) and glued a flower with a pearl center to the corner of the focal piece. I rounded the bottom corners of the card and used a stamp from the TPC studios "Brush Strokes" set.
The base card is made from Neenah Solar White card stock #110 weight and is a top fold (or "hot dog" fold) card.
Beautiful job on your card! I don't see any mistakes on the background either. Thanks for sharing!
