Holy Communion

Today I was busy doing two commissioned Holy Communion cards. This is what I came up with.. ..

I decided on a clean style with no DP. The arch window is from Memory Box, the leaves are Die Namics, while the sentiment die is Spellbinders. Underneath the window I put a piece of clear vellum paper.

The gorgeous images are from Karen's Doodles, and I colored them with my promarkers.

The cross is an EK Success Dimensional Stickers to which I added a peel off.

Some embossing with my hougie board on the side and a bow and two pearls to finish it off. Wasn't sure about these for the boy card, but then I didn't know what to put instead, so I did them too.

Religious Cards

I had two ordered cards to do this week, a Holy Communion and a Confirmation one... I was going to use the stamps I normally use, but then I came across this gorgeous image from Precious Moments and definitely I had to have a go with this cutie.

I tend to keep these type of cards rather clean and simple, but really loved how it turned out... and a real quickie one too :)   ..Should I do it with the gems or the calice ?? ........

Here is a close up of the sweetie boy... coloured with my promarkers... can't understand why there isn't a freebie Holy Communion girl as well!!

This is the second card I did... decided to do it the same as the other one but different colours. The stamp is from Karen's Doodles, did the little flowers with my Martha Stewart punch.. so quick :)

Holy Communion Boy

Hi, here is my second card for today, and this is the Boy Holy Communion now, which is also from Karen's Doodles Holy Communion Set... I can't wait to get me the two new digi stamps which I won from the last challenge at Karen's UK Challenge Blog. Yippeee :) Thanks x



I also coloured him with my promarkers, but of course very lightly, adding some white with my gel pen. The background paper I bought LOCALLY!!! Can you believe this.. I couldn't believe it myself when I saw them at the stationery near me, and they are really thick, 12x12 and were really cheap too at just 10c each! I just got them and said I would use them some time and here they are !!

This is the sketch that I followed which I have again flipped over..



and here are the challenges for this card..

Holy Communion Girl

Hi, I've got two cards today, and they're both Holy Communion ones which I have made for two colleagues at the office where I work. I don't usually like to do these type of cards, don't know why!!! but now that I got these gorgeous stamps from Karen's Doodles, I can't say this anymore!!!

This is the Girl's card..... I decided that the best place to get a good photo is outside so I took the photo, on the bench in my backyard. Must get me a better place though!!



I coloured her with my promarkers and then added some glitter on the frills of her skirt, belt and headpiece. The background paper is from my Papermania Simply Elegant Paper Pack and the flower I made with my MS Hydrangea Punch and then smudging the sides.

This is the sketch that I followed which I flipped over..

1 - Karen's Doodles US Challenge No 11 - for the SKETCH
2 - Tuesday Morning Sketches No 46 - YOUR FAVE COLOR COMBO & GLITTER... PS.. look here ...
