Commissioned Christening Card

This card was commissioned by

my friend Claire (the ex train buddy)

& recipient of the dog canvas

a few posts below.

 

My design brief was non religious christening

with a theme Peter Rabbit.

 

Here's what I came up with.

Have to say, I'm quite proud of this!

Rod's Birthday Card

As I said in my last post, sharing Claire's birthday canvas,

it was also Rod's birthday and today I am sharing his card.

 

I got this stencil new recently. I really love TCW stencils

especially ones designed by Rebekah Meier.

I felt this design Mini Harlequin Circles just

spoke to me for a male card.

I added texture paste through the stencil and dried well.

I then over stamped with a Kaisercraft Stamp Dictionary

I coloured the background with Gelatos  & Ferro Gold paste.

I die cut two TH men, snipped off the brolleys

& reversed one so they appeared to walk side by side.

I added shadow with my Big Brush brown pen.

Happy Birthday, Claire (& Rod)

Today I am sharing the canvas I made for Claire.

It is also Rod's birthday and I will share his card

later this week. He hasn't seen it yet!

 

The photo belongs to Claire.

The picture is of Bailey and Baxter.

Bailey belongs to her mum & dad

Baxter is Claire's baby.

This photo was taken in November.

(At least I'm sure it said that on Facebook)
