How do I attach a mesh background to my cards?

This depends on the design. If you can see the whole mesh background when the design is finished then it is best to use small dabs of PVA, a wet glue that dries clear. Put the glue on the mesh (not the card) using a cocktail stick carefully applying small amounts at several different points before attaching it to the card. Used in small amounts it will be almost invisible.

If part of the mesh is hidden behind another design element on the card, for instance a card layer, you can use a little more PVA glue or glue dots at this point on the mesh which will be hidden. This is usually enough to secure the mesh but if you want to  be extra sure then you can place dabs of glue at the corners of the mesh as above.
