Tips from the show

• The centre and leaves are on the same stencil layer to keep costs down, but they won't contaminate each other as they're positioned far apart.
• You can create the card flat without die-cutting or embossing if you prefer to keep postage costs lower.
• Experiment with different colour combinations, such as deep reds instead of pinks, to create varied designs.
