A New Label Trick (for me, at least)

I have a bit of  back-of-the-work vanity.  I admit it.  I'm not the quilt/mixed media police.  It simply pleases me to have a finished piece that looks nice and neat on the back.  When possible, I try to put a nice-looking label on my work.  I discovered something that I want to share with you because I think it is fantastic!

I had several framed or mounted pieces that needed labels.  I decided to use some of my mini-MOO business cards.  I also used clear, self-adhesive mailing labels (the same size as Avery 8660tm) which fit the mini-MOO cards perfectly and showed my artwork through the label!  I am so excited about this little discovery.  To fasten to the back of the art I used double-sided tape, which is archival, to adhere the moo card with label to the surface of the work.
Take a peek:
this label....

is on the back of this!
