Illustrator Resizing a vector file

[oodya]

Hello,

I am wondering if someone can help please?

I am looking to resize a vector border that I downloaded (please see attached).

The one on the left of the attached file has been resized by someone (I'm not too sure how).

Every time that I increase the vector (by holding shift and dragging from the corner) - it moves it out of propotion (my file size is around A6).

I am hoping to have the vector the same as the one on the left so I can input some writing in the middle of the file, without the floral design getting in the way (the writing area on the left card is more than the writing area on the right side).

I am sure that I am missing an easy step (I think) and any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Oodya

Hi do you have a link to the original image or can you upload it to the forum

Hello,

Thank you for your message. Here is the link: http://www.freepik.com/free-vector/invitation-with-pretty-watercolor-flowers_911361.htm#term=flower invitation&page=1&position=18

I would have uploaded it here, but the file is fairly large.

Thank you,

Oodya

OK

The image on the left is different than the one you linked too, if you want to get more space to type in you could just clone out some of the flowers in PS
Does it need to be a Vector image?

If you need a Vector version of the PS file you could just use Image Trace in Illustrator
