Step 1

Print out template at 100 % of actual size. Cut invitation card to size from brown drawing board and score fold. Make pink cutout for the inner card.
With a pencil, draw faint guide lines 2.5 cm apart for the text. Also on the template, draw a continuous line in pencil immediately below the word "Invitation". Cut the template along this line. Place template on guide line of the drawing board and transfer design with graphite paper. To do this, lay graphite paper, dark side down, underneath the template sheet. Trace the lines on the template sheet. After the first few lines, lift graphite paper to check that the lines have been transferred. 

Transfer flower to the brown drawing board.
