Suspension Card

Oooh, easy and fun. I like those two things together. Today's technique to try, a suspension card, was cool. Imagine that, "suspension" and "cool" in the same sentence.

I needed a card for a colleague whose wife had a baby recently, so I decided this design would fit nicely. Beate's tutorial is clearly written, and the materials are more common than one would think.
