There will be about 40 people signing it so I needed to make it quite large, the finished size is just under A4.
I have a template for a smaller square card so I resized it. It took a couplr of attepts to get it right as I tried to hinge it at the top and it wouldn't stand up so in the end I did a concertina fold on the left hand side at the bottom.


The back of the card was embellished with a number panel I printed and the lettering is chipboard from a QVC TSV.
I didn't have any A4
envelopes and wanted to make it a bit posher anyway so I decided to have a go at making a gussetted bag/envelope for it. I used 2 sheets of 12 x 12" DCWV textured card, laid some more stripes on the top and a WBA badge that I had previously printed to do a different style of card.
I am really pleased with how this came out and Paul just said WOW! Can't get better than that.
