LETTERING
You’ll use Permanent White and the no. 3 round for this card. First paint the lettering. Let dry.
BORDER
STEP 1: Use a pointed nib to create S-strokes.
STEP 2: Attach a C-stroke to each S-stroke head. Con- nect each two adjacent S-strokes with two straight lines. Use a no. 3 round to make flower petals. Try to make dif- ferent sizes and shapes.
STEP 3: Attach more C-strokes and dots with the pointed pen. Use Stickles to add the center of each flower.
