Brenda Jones asked me in my comments for the post below

I would like to know how you get the great smooth edge when you adhered the old music to the chipboard bird, if you share your secrets.

Sure I'll share with you and everyone who wants to know Brenda

I'm sure many people use this technique,

I use a UHU Glue Stick (the kind that is coloured and then goes clear when dry)

I completely cover the side of the chipboard I want to cover with paper with my glue stick, then place glue side down onto the back of the Printed Paper.

I then take my Brayer (hard rubber roller/ or rolling pin) cover the chipboard with a piece of paper to protect it, then brayer it, this helps seal the paper beautifully to the chipboard.

Next I trim closely with scissors and then I take an Nail File, and 'sand' around the edges. to give it that soft look I then ink the edges lightly with a shade or two darker than the original paper.

I hope that makes sense, It probably sounds more fiddly than it really is....

Have a happy day everyone :)
