Today we are going to a baptism of our friend's baby girl. My husband said he'd look for a card when he went into Target (while I was in Micheals next door), well... he forgot to even look for it. Of course I already figured if he couldn't find a nice one (or forgot) I would make the card. I looked online for card ideas, both for the cover and something nice to say. I sort of pulled together some ideas and tried them out.
My first attempt I was embellishing a cross, but it ended up looking weird and clunky (to me at least). I decided simpler would be better. I picked pink and white paper with a pearl/metallic like finish and started cutting and punching what I needed.

| Cross and surrounding vellum is hand cut with scissors and a scalloped paper edger. The pink middle was punched with one of the Martha Stewart paper punch edgers. The heart punched with another of Martha's punches. I printed out a very simple Bible verse that fit a baptism, and there we have it! The inside is just a simple message from us to the family, printed on vellum. |
I wanted to embellish the card more, but I didn't want to over do it. I really wanted a simple, clean look, which I feel I achieved. I kind of wish I made the text on the front fit in nicer, but oh well.
