Baby Card & Box

Good Morning Folks.  Well ,in reality the rain is torrential and its quite a high wind too, so I guess I can spend the day in my craft room. Oops, I should have said after my chores are completed.
My card to-day is a commission card for a baby boy christening, and of course Daddy is an Aston Villa supporter so I was asked if I could add a little something referring to the FC.. Card is 8 X 8 white hammered card and I've matted and layered it with the colours required.  Using my Enchanted Labels SB dies and a Nellie Snellen Heart, I used a Joanna Sheen baby boy image to add to the heart, the label and sentiment I hand cut using the template from the SB. I finished off by adding some candy to the corners.
The wallet was made to fit the card and hopefully keep it safe for years to come.  It's Annie's birthday on Sunday, so that will keep me busy over the next couple of days.
 Enjoy your crafting and hopefully we get some dry weather this week-end.  Hugs Rita xx

A lovely image Rita and this is a beautiful card. We have sun here but it is very windy and the clouds are looking pretty black as they are scudding across the sky! Hope your downpour doesn't come here, but it's looking likely. Christine xx

Absolutely beautiful Rita, a fantastic card that will be treasured.
I love those baby images from JS, I use them all the time.
I love the idea of the wallet rather than the box, must keep that in mind.
Have great day out
