Instructions
1. Mat photograph. Cut additional 3” x 1 ½” and 8” x 1 ½” strips from same color of cardstock.
2. Freehand your own border design onto a piece of scrap paper or create a design using rubber stamps, or templates. You can also use a border design from a book or any other source. Lay the ink jet transparency on top of the design then trace over with the masque pen. Let dry.
