Hello again
This week, Tenia is hosting our All About Occasions Challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday.
Recently, I needed a Baptism card for a little boy, so it made me think a bit. Finally, I settled on this design. I hope you like it.
To start, I googled a cross and dove image and printed it twice on white card.
From the first copy, I coloured the edges of the cross in blue and cut it out.
On the second, I added some light grey shading to the dove and cut out the image. Using raised tape, I layered it up on top of the cross.
After creating and printing off the Sentiment for the card, I cut out the card front with MFT Die-namics Blue Prints 26 border die. Some very simple blue shading with Distress Ink went in the middle area and misted lightly with water.
I then layered up a SSS Stacked Stars white die cut and then the cross, over the shaded area.
I was quite happy with the way it turned out. Lovely clean lines.
Hope you have some fun with our new challenge. Don’t forget to get some more inspiration from the other wonderful Design Team members over on our blog.

This is an absolutely fantastic Baptism card. I love it! And how clever to google that image and use it in this way. Absolutely perfect. So glad to be here with the DT as GD for this challenge.

Great job creating this serene communion card. Ilike that you copied and created your own images for the cross and dove off the internet as well as your sentiment. We don’t always have access to special occasion stamps such as bar mitzvahs and communions, so it’s wonderful to see someone use the creative technical tools around us to achieve their goals. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing the how to’s for this card Helen.

What a gorgeous card, Helen! The colours caught my attention first. Love the combination of white and blue. What a clever idea to print your images and then incorporate them into the design like that. I love that wonderful die-cut of stars. Everything about this card is so special and so perfect for a Baptism.
