I made this name canvas for a friend who just had her 5th child. Seems that the younger ones don't get as cool a baby gift as the first (older) ones, so I wanted it to be something they could keep. The baby's room is decorated in Wendy Bellissimo's Vintage Fire Truck, or something like that, so that's how I came up with the color scheme. The ric rac at the bottom was made with painter's tape in {you guessed} a ric rac pattern. The star is wooden, and the chipboard came already covered with blue and stars, I just distressed it with a nail file and edged it in Real Red to make it pop.
Of course, the card came afterward to match the canvas.
I mailed this to my friend in a pizza box, which I keep a stash of for my kids' school papers. But they also make great mailers for flat objects like this canvas.
