I've never made a Christening card, but last week I received an order for not one, but two. They were for 2 different baby boys but were ordered from the same person, who has her grandson and her (soon to be) godson being christened at the end of this month. Because the same families would be at both events I wanted to make the cards very different from each other and these are the 2 cards I've come up with. I hope you like them, they are both A4 in size and made from Joanna Sheen's beautiful tapestry cardstock (which doesn't scan well) and both sentiments were done on the PC.
If you have never paid a visit to
Joanna Sheen's lovely shop before you are in for a real treat. I can honestly say that everything I have ever ordered is of the best quality, add to that the order usually arrives the following day and it has free p&p and who could ask for anything more
The first card is an image from a PC Crafter kit called 'Bunny Rhymes' which has been simply mounted onto an oval nestability, the ribbon effect border along the top of the card is from the same kit. I have added a baby pram charm and hung it from some K & Co blue gingham ribbon.
The second one uses an image from Joanna Sheen's Victorian Companion CD mounted onto co-ordinated backing paper from the same CD. I have coloured some K & Co lace paper with chalks to match the paper and used it to trim the top of the card and hung a rocking horse charm from some ivory chiffon ribbon.
