Baby Blessing Invites

Invites for Grace's baby blessing were a real delight to make. Starting with plain white cards I added a mat of pink pearlescent paper (Craft Creations) which I had edged (Fiskars punch) and I have used embossing paste in Shiney White (Dreamweavers) to emboss a teddy and rabbit on the bottom. I then added a 2nd card the front of which I had embossed (cuttlebug) and embellished using the words 'tiny blessings' (Cuttlebug) cut from pale green pearlescent paper (Craft Creations). The dots over the 'i' in both words is a tiny pale green crystal (Papi on ebay) and a pink crystal flower added to each end. A few pink metallic peel off dots (Craft Creations) broke up the plain dot pattern. A ribbon and bow was added to the side (Crafty Ribbons) just to complete the front.

Inside the 2nd card I have decoupaged pictures of angel babies with the words 'Heaven Sent'. For this I used a picture I already had but which was blue and yellow and altered the colours using My Craft Studio. A little Glamour Dust (DecoArt) on the wings and halo completed this part of the invite.
Finally for the insert I again used my main image and made a tiled background paper with My Craft Studio. The wording was printed onto the paper and I matted it onto the pale green pearlescent paper, the sides of which I had again punched.

As a finishing touch I added a tiny baby coat on a coat hanger to the front of the envelope using the embossing paste as before. My invitations are complete.
