Foto Finesse Card

Our range of Foto Finesse Toppers have been very popular for wedding stationery. The new range of floral designs lend themselves to a wider range of cards. This project shows just how simple it is to create cards using Foto Finesse Toppers.

Materials and Tools

Instructions

1. Cut out the 'Best Wishes' poppy topper from the sheet.

2. Next we need to cut out a rectangle of black card measuring 8.2 x 11.5cm (3 1/4 x 4 1/2"). This is meant to be slightly bigger than the topper on all sides. Stick the topper centrally onto the black card using double sided tape.

3. Finally, stick the bordered topper centrally onto a card blank using double sided tape. We have used a piece of lavender card to make an A6 sized card blank, by cutting out a piece of card measuring about 14.8 x 21.6cm (5 3/4 x 8 1/2") and folding it in half. Alternatively, you could cut out a rectangle of the lavender card and stick this to a card blank, then stick the topper onto this.

There are pictures of other cards below that were all created using the same basic techniques described here.

Handy Hint
Try adding a little glitter glue to pick out details on the flowers, or to the border around the design, as this can really add to the overall effect
