Happy Monday everyone!
This is what I spent most of my Sunday doing. That and looking for a pack of AC white textured card stock, that seems to have vanished. LOL I really needed to get this card done for today and had wanted to use it for my project. I was stuck using this plain white cardstock which I really did not want to do but had no choice.
I found this baby dress template some time ago and did a pixel trace on it. I don't know who the template belongs to, so I can't share the file until I find out where it came from.
I made a little collar for the dress using basic shapes in MTC. I also applied some pearls. I had purchased some cross charms at Wal-mart last year and never used them. Glad I had them on hand, was a nice accessory.
Last week I was in AC Moores and found some pretty lace spools for $1. Added some to the bottom of my card along with some more pearls.
I found this quote online, which I will add the link when I find it. I also realized there was a spelling error after I copied and pasted the text, printed and took the photo, "baptized". The inside was reprinted and adhered after the photos were taken. I always adhere the inside at the very end in case of any changes I want to make. I was tired last night to re-do photos. LOL
I also created a box for the card. I used Sharon Mobley's flourish and the box is from Eleanor Partridge, SVGShop at MyGrafico.
I also made a tag with the date the baby is being baptized.
I think adding a layer of embossed vellum or some netting would look really pretty also. You could use this same idea for confirmation.
Thanks for looking.
Have a great day!

This would be a perfect file for my daughter-in-laws baby shower--she wants a vintage/shabby chic tea party .....
ReplyDeleteMichelle, this is just stunning.

Leila, you're welcome.
DeleteI also found the link on the Mtc forum. I love the card and box. I am working on our first baby's baby dedication page. I will try to copy your beautiful dress.
ReplyDeletewould love to see it when you're finished. I think this same concept would be nice for a confirmation also. A little more grown up version of a dress. Maybe a silhouette of a little girl and then add the dress and a veil.
