Tips from the show

• This design is forgiving and doesn't need to be perfectly symmetrical—the sketchy nature is part of its charm.
• You can create matching note cards and envelopes by repeating the design in different colour combinations.
• Consider using embossing powders for the outline layer to add extra dimension.
