Our neighbours had their little girl christened this weekend and I had to face one of my big cardmaking fears (some of which include wedding, anniversary, christening and shaped cards).
I didn't want to make a traditional white or pink card so I went with warm peachy and aqua tones instead. The image is from LOTV and papers from Sassafras Lass.
The colouring is pure Copic Markers and then I dipped on liberal sprinklings of glamour dust, some Frosted Lace Stickles and covered the window in clear glaze. Verry shparkly....
I used some of my favorite laces from Wild Orchid Crafts and gorgeous peachy ribbon I got from Ebay from all the places!!
And then I dumped on loadsa peachy pink pearls. I MIGHT admit that I went a bit overboard with these. Very reluctantly, mind you! :P

What a fabulous card Annika! I love the peach colour. The image is gorgeous, love the lace, ribbon & how you've personalized it with Chloe's. And no... there aren't too many pearls. You can never have too many pearls or Stickles... ever!
:) For a "fear" card you did GREAT! You did add a lot of pearls hihi but "me likey"... I would have probably added more for a little girl...:) That and a ton of glitter everywhere. LOL! Am I getting some regret traces at the back of my mind?
Lovely card...oh did I say I like the colors??
Hugs,
Laura

Beautiful card... Iove the colour scheme ... I bet the parents will be so delighted ... thanks for joining us at CCCB
Absolutely gorgeous. Love the image you've used, love the flowing gown the baby has on. There is no need to be worried about making christening cards, as your card just shows how talented and clever you are. Also love the personal touch on the sentiment
I'm so glad you came over your fear for a christening card( is this English???)
Your card is stunning; the lucky parents will be thrilled.
And...I love pearls and the way you used them on this card is right up my alley :)
