Nakshi Kantha Baby Shower
Two 1500x2100 (5x7) pages on soft white cotton, an invitation and a details card, stitched in faded red, indigo and mustard: rippling pale quilting rows, triple running stitch borders with a kaitya zigzag band and corner flowers, a lotus medallion of three petal rings filled with following stitch rows around a spiral seed, trees of life from each corner, paired fish, birds, small stitched flowers and a boat on a stitched river, set in Gilda Display with Albert Sans and Noto Serif Bengali. Gentle, handmade and rooted in Bengal, the invitation leads from the medallion to the Bangla greeting, the name and the date, while the second page lists when, where, the feast, what to wear and how to reply.

How to make it yours
- Start with the largest text, the "Title" layer set in Gilda Display, and swap in your own words.
- Then rewrite "Heading" (Gilda Display) with your details.
- Replace the 28 photo layers with your own pictures. The film grain stays live, so it applies to your photo too.
- Change the background from #f5f0e6 to your own colour, then recolour the accents in #b5483f and #2f4a7a.
- Keep the 2 pages you need, duplicate the ones you want more of and delete the rest.
- Export a print-ready PDF for the printer, or a PNG to share online.
