Floral Border

Step 2: Cut an 11-1/4″ x 2-1/2″ strip of both brushed metal paper and cardstock. Adhere the strips together. Punch with the Horse Punch at regular intervals, five times across. Trim a little off the long sides to make the strip 2-1/4″ high. With a small hole punch, punch a hole in each of the four corners. Mount the strip on the border using Foam Squares.

Step 3: Add stickers and embellishments.

Cut a 4″ x 2″ piece of teal tile paper and adhere to the bottom. Trim a 4″ section of the wood bead border sticker and adhere on the seam.
