Create an elegant framed card featuring delicate floral imagery in soft pinks, greens and blues. Using a rectangle aperture stencil as your guide, draw a hand-lettered drop line border with a gel pen to add a personal, artistic touch. This simple technique produces a sophisticated card perfect for any occasion.
Position a rectangle aperture stencil on your floral patterned card base. Secure it in place using glue dots on the top and bottom edges only.
