Scented Greeting Cards

Choose a picture of a flower that you would like to use. I tend to print the picture up on glossy photo paper.

I tend to attach the picture to my coloured card that I am going to use for greeting cards.

To scent the cards use a pure essential oil to match the fragrance of the flower you are using on the card.

For example
Rose essential oil with pictures or photos of roses
Lavender essential oil with pictures or photos of lavender
Lemon essential oil with pictures or photos of lemon trees

To scent your greeting cards
Simply place 2 or 3 drops of the appropriate essential oil (or blend of oils) onto a piece of blotting paper or cotton wool balls, then place in a self sealing plastic bag with the card that you want to fragrance. Seal and leave for 48 hours. When you remove the card it will be delicately fragranced.

You can also turn the same images into a range of bookmarks, writing paper, invitations, place cards, etc.

When finished you can give your cards away as gifts to family and friends
