CARD# HPJ-2014-48: Welcome to the World

Here is a simple nautical-themed baptism card.

The card measures 4.5" x 5.75".

I layered two patterned papers that had distressed edges and added a strip of paper of a slightly different shade from the first layer at the bottom.

I cut out a decorative circle using a Spellbinders die and adhered it onto the card with foam tape. I affixed the metal charm afterwards.

For the sentiment, I handwrote it on a stamped image of a banner I fuzzy cut. I searched online for a type of knot used in boating that I could incorporate into the card and came upon the Carrick Bend. It was simple and easy enough to do and so pretty at that.

I added several blue green crystals and some pearls as a finishing touch. I used two different papers for the inside panels and left them blank for the messages.

A white envelope came with the card. I placed a nautical lining to go with the theme.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
