Create a beautiful greeting card featuring an all-over ditsy floral pattern using a stencil and coloured paste. The delicate floral texture is achieved by spreading paste smoothly across the surface, with multiple shades within each colour adding depth and dimension. This elegant technique produces a sophisticated, textured finish perfect for special occasions.

   Using a palette knife or spatula, spread the pink paste evenly across all the openings of the ditsy floral stencil, working it smoothly like spreading butter. Ensure all the stencil areas are covered with an even layer of paste.
