    I forgot to add that you use a square or rectangle aperture card, and stick your coloured silver foil design behind it.

    This type of thing:

    which you can make yourself or buy.
    These are aperture cards mary you can also have ones with circles and ovals xx

    ilovecompanies! Hope you are having a good day!

    LOL, that aperture picture brings back memories (page 2 of this thread was it Polly?) - maybe we should have a TISSUE PAPER Challenge Polly! (sometime) - after all, thats how this thread was started....

    That's a good idea Qwiksave! It'll show us how far everyone has come!

    Luckily I bought some blank aperture cards last week... but I have been looking at them thinking, 'What on earth am I going to do with these?!' :rotfl:

    Happy Birthday ILC!:beer:

    I think the tissue paper looks lovely on the card on page 1, well done. By the way, the cardstock with the windows in are 1.25 for an assorted pack of 10 in different colours.
