{Nursery Necessities}

Isn’t this such a cute set for a simple, yet effective, card! 

This card is actually double size – an A4 card folded in half.  So  . . how do you fill such a big space when the stamp you want to use is relatively “small”??

First I triple matted the image, graduating the mat size to make the image’s visual footprint bigger. 

Next I opted to use a very wide ribbon and also some large brads. The build a brads were the perfect thing!

I learned when I was quilting lots to make borders when you needed to make a big quilt out of a small squares.  That technique works well for cards, too!

Our biggest congratulations to Anna Sutherland of Invercargill who had a beautiful baby boy recently!  A group of us signed this card for her – a small token of our happiness for your new addition.
