Card for a Special Girl's Baptism


These cards from Pinterest inspired a card I made for Samantha's baptism last weekend on Nantucket.


I made my own pattern and used a 1 1/2 inch circle punch to cut the neck and Stampin' Up eyelet border punch to create the trim on the hem and sleeves.  I used a Swiss Dots embossing folder to add texture to the the striped vellum overskirt. With a organza ribbon and a paper rose at the Empire waist, it was almost complete. The small pearls on the neckline reminded me of my Add-a-Pearl necklace from childhood.  And Samantha's paternal grandmother actually gave her one for her baptism!

I think she loved it!
