Gosh it seems like ages since I last posted. My intention of posting every other day seems to have fallen by the wayside already! I'm taking part in Handmade Monday over at http://handmadeharbour.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/handmade-monday-83.html this week. First time for me so quite excited about it!
I've been really busy finishing a commission for a golden wedding scrapbook, so have not been able to make anything new for a while. However, I finished it today and started making some cards but they are not finished yet.
So today I thought I would share a christening card I made a while ago now. This card was commissioned and I have to say the lady that asked for it to be made had no idea what I was going to do. She left it completely up to me. All she asked for was a christening card for a girl. So this is what I came up with. A christening card shaped as a christening gown.
This is a close up of the ribbon and bow around the middle. You can see that I attached a metal cross charm.
This is the card fully open.
I hope you like it as much as my customer did.
