Today was the Christening of a very good friend's baby son, and she asked me to make a card for her & her partner to give their son. This is the design she chose. The colours do not show as true here, but they are beige & gold to match the outfit he wore today.
I designed the card using SCAL, and used my Cricut to cut it out. I liked the way the "i" looks a little like a candle in this font, which I think is especially symbolic for a Christening. I am not happy with the size of the "i"s & "n"s, & don't know what happened there, but it's still early days for me with learning how to use SCAL
Close ups of the Cross & Candle I used on the front of the card.
My friend & her partner were really pleased with the card, & then my friend wrote a beautiful poem for the inside of the card.
We had a wonderful day with them, & their families.
Wishing you a lifetime of love, health & happiness Toby xx

It took some (well, a fair bit really) of playing about & experimenting to do it, but I know that it'll get easier the more I do with it.
I am also very grateful to Sueplayingwithpaper from DC who guided me through the basics. I really must have a look at some of the online tutorials, that will be a huge help too I'm sure
FANTASTIC.love the colours.xxx
This card is just wonderful and a keepsake for our son. The colours are lovely and the card unique....thank you Noreen! It's beautifully made, colours matched his outfit perfectly and is just fantastic!! We are chuffed to bits with it. Clever, clever you!! xx
