Vintage Christening

Morning peeps.  I hope you are all well.  Today's card  is a commissioned card.  An elderly lady at SA asked me to make it as she is going to a Christening.  She insisted that she wanted it with Great God-daughter on the front.  She isn't going to be the God Mother but the baby is the daughter of her God-daughter  so in her little mind bless her the baby is her Great God-daughter.  I can't make the insert until she has thought what she wants it to say!!!  I hope she likes it as it isn't a modern take on the subject but a Vintage.

8 x 8 Christening Card


Products Used

Image:- Sheet 2 Babies - Art Sheets - Lili of the Valley
Bp:- Joys Vintage Papers - Hot off the Press
Card Blank - Anna Marie Designs
Baby Pink Card- Limetree Crafts
Dies:- Standard Circles Large - S4-114
Grand Scalloped Circles - LF-124
Labels Sixteen - all from Spellbinders
Flowers - Prima
Lace from my stash

UPDATE I FOUND THIS ON THE INTERNET AND THE LADY SAID SHE WOULD LEAVE IT UP TO ME WHAT I PUT INSIDE.  I HOPE SHE LIKES IT.



May you be blessed on your Christening day,
That Angels will guide you along your way,
May you be surrounded with warmth and care,
With joy and happiness you'll want to share,
May you always find peace in all you do,
Sharing friendships which are honest and true,
May your life be long and worry free,
And when you rest at night secure you'll be,
I offer this prayer to God above,
Then may he surround you with His eternal love.

Painting By Friend Peter

Afternoon peeps.  Just a quick post.  I had added this card into my made card folder but hadn't backed it up on my separate hard drive & of course it was one of things that I lost when my computer crashed.  I have lost so much, serves me right.


Products Used.

This was really simple.  A friend of my late husband's is an amateur artist.  He painted this some years ago and had Christmas cards printed from the painting.  One of which he sent to us.  It is just recycled & mounted on fresh card.
Added a Silver Glittered Peel Off (which is hard to see in the photo)
