Handmade Art Nouveau Cards

Organic and ornamental shapes—typical of the Art Nouveau movement—are used with the help of this craft book to create nifty greeting cards that look both historical and contemporary. All the required special papers and other materials are included, and the craft techniques—stenciling, metal embossing, glass painting, and the creation of three-dimensional effects—are shown using clear, step-by-step photographs. Finished cards feature such elements as lilies, dragonflies, a rosebud arch, grape vines, or a flower maiden.
