Hi everyone!
Today's card has a lovely double tissue tape border.
Close Up!
The papers that I used for this card are from Prima. I bought one of their 8 x 11 pads and it included the pretty bird below which I punched out. I used Forest Moss distress ink on the edges and attached with mounting tape.
Here is a close up of the double border. First I added the ticket border (Tim Holtz tissue tape). I added the full width of the tape to my card. Then I mitered the corners. I used a ruler and an xacto blade and cut from the inner corner to the outer corner. I was able to easily feel when my blade hit paper so I knew when to stop cutting. I took off the cut tissue tape and voila - a perfect frame.
I took a variety of tissue tapes and tore pieces off and layered them onto the edges of my card, overlapping the tapes as I went. For this second layer, I only used half the width of the tape.
Since my ribbon wrapped around to the inside front of my card I wanted to finish it off. I used a matching (smaller) gem on the end.

I used an over sized gem to decorate the front of my card. It looks like a ribbon slide, don't you think?
