Baptism Card

A friend at work just had a christening for her grand-daughter. When I saw this file in the Silhouette online store, I knew I wanted to use it to make a card for the baby. It was so easy! 

I cut the first layer out of some off white, textured card stock, then I cut the base layer out of SU! Whisper White. I used my Xyron 510 to adhere the two layers together. Unfortunately, this left a lot of glue residue on the edges of the top cut out layer. I brilliantly decided to use this to my advantage and sprinkled the entire card with a fine glitter! All the places where the glue was showing was now all sparkly! I added some iRock bling to the card, stamped "Congratulations" on the inside and it was done! A sparkly, girly card for a beautiful baby girl. :)  We are going to enter this card in a challenge we found out about from our blogger friend Jessica of http://chick-n-scrap.blogspot.com/  (her work is amazing) the challenge is at http://creativeinspirationspaint.blogspot.com/
