Where can i find the black squiggly line border that is on the pink poodle in paris birthday party theme?

Question

I want to create my own invitations and need to find the black squiggly line border that appears on the balloons and plates.Does anyone know the name of that style of border or know where i can find it ?

Answer 1

There are a few things you can do to emulate this look:

1) Use a satin cord/ribbon and glue it to your invitation. You can cut and paste the plate image into Word or some similar program, enlarge the picture to the size you want and then cut the black border out. This will be your template. Trace it very lightly onto your invitation with a pencil, then add glue over your pencil marks and then your cord/ribbon.

2) Using the template, trace the shape onto the invitation and then color it on to your invitation.

3) Using the template, trace the shape onto black paper and cut it out and then glue to your invitation.

This is about all I can think of. I haven't seen this border in any of my processing programs that I have to make the invitation on the computer...

Here is a link to show the satin cord/ribbon. I know you can get it at a beading supply place, craft store or fabric store. It's usually on a spool.

Hope this helps. :)

What I usually do when I can't find a particular image, is go to the site or sites that have an image, right click on it and send it to a pdf file.  From there I recreate the image to what I need.  I found a couple of nice clear pictures of invitations on Ebay.  All you need is a Microsoft program, some colored paper and your printer.  Once you do this, you can save it as a template. The border does look relatively simple if you wanted to create it freehand. It doesn't have to be perfect.
