Step-by-step

Step 1
You can see all the materials at a glance in our photo. You’ll need a set of edding 1300 colour pens in a metal tin of 20.

Step 2
First, download the template and print it out. Place it inside the blank card so that the design shows through. Now use an edding 1300 to trace over the words and pictures to your heart’s content before colouring them however you wish. The range of colours should offer everything you need – the only limit is your imagination! Leave space between the hand-drawn elements to make room for the washi tape (see next step).

Step 3
Apply strips of washi tape to your card – such an easy way to give it a snazzy, personalised look!

Step 4
For a really beautiful effect, why not finish off your card with a washi tape border in a matching shade.
