Art Nouveau Rose - Printable Card


I created this elegant card using my Art Nouveau Potted Rose brush and mask.
Originally designed for a friend for a Wedding Invitation, I think the card would also double as a pretty gift card.
When folded , the card measures 3.3 X 8 inches
I've included American Letter and A4 layouts and a textured paper for the card in my 

Potted Rose Art Nouveau Brush


I do love some Art Nouveau designs :)
I've opted for a slightly modern approach in the design of this brush but I think it would still fit in well with more vintage styled designs.
The free zip to download includes maximum sized brushes suitable for Paint Shop Pro 9 - X5
I've also included a .png file which could be used in PSP or other graphics programs for a brush creation or mask.
Limited Commercial Use.
Please read my Terms of Use file which is included in the zip.

Roses with Love -Printable Card

Not only for St Valentine's Day , but for anyone who loves roses :)
The subtly textured background  features more roses and continues onto the back of the folded card.
I've included easy print layouts for both A4 and American letter and also a soft rendering of the background for printing on the inside of the card if you wish.


Thanks to Karen of The Graphics Fairy for the pretty apricot coloured rose which I have lifted from an old royalty free postcard.
