Confirmation time

My Grandson Sean will be making his Confirmation

in May and this is the card I made for him.

I saw lots of these on Pinterest and I see you can

buy the card and templates online but I

just had a crack at it myself.

It does fold fairly flat for an envelope but I won't be posting it.

I printed the background papers from a Nitwits file

and added my wording for the prayer and greeting

before printing.

It has all been matted onto some nice blue card.

I then used my dies and a Crafts you Print

confirmation cross for the centre.

The nice die cuts are from a Tattered lace pack

and I punched out some small crosses

and added a pearl and gem here and there.

I also punched two small leaves for the bottom.

Took me a while to complete after working out

my cuts but fairly pleased with the outcome.

and stamp the child's name in powder pink.
TIP count the letters in the name and start with the centre letter
and work your way out.
Adhere all your layers to your base card.
8. Cut a 6" strip of powder pink ribbon, join both ends in centre
and hold with sticky dot.
