Hugest card ever!

This is the HUGEST card I have ever made, and hope ever will! It is an entire sheet of watercolor paper folded in half; the same size, or slightly larger, than a bristol board the kids use for school projects. You can see the relative size next to the banana in the bottom left corner. I needed to make a card big enough to hold around 300 signatures! I think this will do the trick. I made an envelope using a huge sheet of paper that draftsmen use for maps and architects use for floor plans. It was almost as hard to make as the card itself!
I drew the design of the critters in pencil on a large sheet of paper, and then traced it onto this watercolor paper with my light box. I used my thickest Staedler pigment liner, #7, and even then had to go over the lines a few times to thicken them up.
Using my artist quality paints, I watercolored the critters and flags as best I could (the flag on the left is the Ontario flag). I had forgotten how challenging large watercolor paintings are!! I had gotten quite accustomed to tiny three inch paintings!
There are no embellishments as you can see, I had to keep it simple, as this card is going to pass through hundreds of hands, and I didn't want to risk anything falling off!

On another note...
