Last evening our family celebrated my daughter’s Catholic faith confirmation at the Basilica of Mary Catholic Church in Minneapolis. We had a beautiful evening for the celebration and the service was filled with so much joyfulness. In addition to the card I made and the inspiration which led to creating this card, I am also sharing a photo of Karel with my husband and I and another one of Karel with her sponsor, Aunt Marlene.
The card I made for Karel’s Confirmation was inspired by this week’s Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge and by a bottle of lotion the my down line Katherine Narog gifted me with before I left for Regionals last week.
I used the stamp set called Special Blessings to make this card. I just LOVE the bird in this set and I’ve never made a card with this set that I don’t like. There’s so much that I like about this card that I hardly know where to start! I guess I’ll start with the colors: Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red … all inspired by a bottle of lotion! I also love the Chocolate Chip Petals-a-Plenty layered on top of the Chocolate Chip base card. I think tone on tone layering adds such an elegant touch to your projects. The ribbons are Chocolate Chip in Satin, Pumpkin Pie Striped Grosgrain and the 1/4″ Rose Red Grosgrain. The image panel is raised up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The inside panel of my card is simple. I added a few layers of color to continue the color theme and stamped the sentiment with Chocolate Chip. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.
