Sunflower Ted

 Looking through some of my stash I came across two identical images so I thought I'd take the opportunity of turning them into a card using the technique which seems to be called either 'lattice frame' or 'eclipse style lattice'.  The usual way seems to be putting slivers of foam tape on the back of the frame to lift it away from the background but this particular die has quite narrow 'bridges' so what I did was to cut one from the image and then another one in some white card so that I could adhere them both together before layering over the whole image.  I hope this makes sense - always difficult to explain some techniques 😉😉.  I stopped at the single layer because I was thinking of the postage if the card were to be thicker but I think maybe two layers of white frame under the frame image would probably be preferable visually.  As is often the case this one looks better for real than in the photo.  Finally backed the whole thing with a layer of grey and cut a piece of toning background paper to fit the card.  A birthday sentiment and that's it for today's card.  It still seems to be wall to wall sunshine in the South.
