Baptism cards

In addition to uor beautiful neice, Alexi, who was born this summer, we also get to enjoy a second cousin as well! My husband's cousin, Angie, and her husband Dennis, had a little girl just about a month and a half before my neice was born. Corinne will be baptized tomorrow, so of course I had to make some baptism cards. This is something I had none of in my "stash" of cards. I figured I might as well make a few, that way I could add them to my collection that will be for sale. I'm not sure which one I'll be giving yet. I love the image on this firt card. It's from SU!'s Holy Triptych set. It's in the Christmas section, but I thought it was a good one to use for a baptism as well. I also thought that the SU! Baroque Motifs image was perfect for this as well, so I used it on all 5 of the cards. The sentiment is from Verve.
I liked this sentiment the best, but they were all pretty fitting. All 5 cards are 6 1/2 X 5 so that made it tough to use the embossing folders, but I found a way; just don't look under the ribbon ;)

This sentiment is from the So Very set, that was an SU! SAB set a few years ago. I thought it worked perfectly on this card. I clear embossed the Baroque Motifs image, then added the flowers and rhinestones. I wish I would have used smaller rhinestones (which I found in my rhinestone drawer after I was finished). Oh well, I think it still looks good.

This image and sentiment are also from Verve. This scripture is also one of my favorites.

This is the one I'm leaning toward not just because I think that little angle is so cute, but I like the pink flowers on the clear embossed image. The sentiment again is from Verve.

I'm giving my aunt first choice of cards (since it's her granddaughter), so next post I;ll let you know which one I ended up giving.
