I used a piece of patterned paper with a bold chevron pattern for the panel on the left side of the card. The pattern kind of reminded me of the pattern you’d see on a TV when the picture was fuzzy (before we all had digital and cable TV and depended on regular old antennas to tune in . . .). I matted it on a coordinating green panel before setting it on the cardfront. For texture and interest, I combined a strip of grosgrain ribbon with a strip of paper pierced red cardstock and stretched the pair along the length of the card. After adding the image panel to the cardfront, I accented it with a green button tied with coordinating baker’s twine.
