Christening Card

I was asked to make a christening card for a boy which can sometimes stump me, so here it is.  I embossed the backing on the left and used chalks to highlight 'Gods Little Miracle'.  Coloured a Digi image with promarkers and threaded ribbon through the holes of the shape.

Used Christmas Crackers Die Cut Decoupage with gold and spotted card for matting and layering.  Then sparkly glitter for snow/star dust.  Quick and simple card that I think is effective.

Having had a great start to my challenge entering I've decided to have another go...this time using a fantabulous little image from Sew Many Cards, thank you Jeri.

The Challenge this week is Sew Many Challenges #23  'Christmas in August'.

I've also had a go at sewing on card using the little provo craft sewing machine my hubby bought me a few years back.  Its another of those items we buy and put to one side promising to use it, but then we never do.  After seeing the gorgeous creations on Sew Many Cards I decided to dust off the box, get out the machine and blooming well have a go!!!!  AND...it worked.  I actually expected the battery to be dead but it wasn't.  It took a few attempts but then it came together.  Thanks SMC for the inspiration.

Hope you like...
