Thank you all for the compliments. These are just so simple and fun to do!
My next similar project will be a wedding shower gift, using the same technique but where everything is reversed, and I am actually cutting out the black to go over a pieced background. I think it will be alot harder, as I will need to take care that I get it the right tickness at first so the lines are in one piece and not jsut trimmed the way I want later as I do with the Diplomas.
But, I am afraid if I tried to do the pieced background like I do with the black for the Diplomas, I could risk pulling a seam or something.
I will try a smaller version first to see how it goes.
