Colourful invitation

Download and print the template.

Cover your entire piece of white cardboard with water. Make sure to do this on a surface, which can get wet. This could be a wax tablecloth.

Use your preferred colours. Here, the colours pink, red, and yellow were used. Dab these onto the cardboard , so they start to run out and slowly make plamages. You can easily alter the amount of colour and dilute with water.

Sprinkle coarse salt on the paper and let it dry.

When the paper is dry, carefully rub the salf off and press the cardboard so it evens itself out nicely.

Cut a piece of watercolour paper using the big template.

Cut the coloured cardboard using the small template.

Gather both shapes you have cut out with double-sided adhesive tape. There should be 1 cm space between the edge of the smaller piece to the edge of the bigger piece, except at the top where there should be 0.5 cm space left to the edge.

Cut a line through the mark and through the two layers of paper and cardboard.

Cut a piece of watercolour paper after the squared template. Attach this to the middle of the coloured cardboard by using double-sided adhesive tape.

Tear a strip of cotton with a width of 3-4 cm and put this through the cut line. "You can also simply use silk ribbon," Anna says.

Fold the sides in. The short ones first, then the bottom without the cut out, and lastly the one with the cotton strip.

Tie the long end around the invitation and tie a loose knot above the cut out. Add a crepe paper flower in the knot.
