I always used to use ds tape too but I noticed that on very light colours it can show through. So now I use ds tape for darker colours and spray mount for those delicate pale colours.

Same principle but I use normal sticky tape stuck onto the mulberry paper & then use pva craft glue to stick the tape to card
(only cos I haven't got double sided !)

Can you get the thicker stuff, Whizz? I got some really thick brown mulberry paper on EBAy cheaply- it sticks lovely with my favourite glues, which are Anita's tacky Glue and Partners Craft Glue. (I'm covering circular bauble cards from Yellow Moon to look like christmas pudding, adding 'icing' effect with 3d paint then topping with holly leaves for easy bulk cards!)

I bought a big pack of mulberry paper for 2.99 from a craft shop in Bolton - only smallish bits but great for on cards - lots of diff colours in pack. Thick stuff too!

All dry now, u can see the glue marks but the way i glued it (following the egde) it looks part of the design so i didn't have to do another

I use spray glue. But only when making in bulk. I like spray glue as it sticks down the feathery edges and stops them rolling/catching on envelopes etc. Otherwise I use double sided tape,
