SUNNY DAY CRAFTING CHALLENGE #16 - ANYTHING GOES

Hello!!
Another week, another challenge at
The theme is always 
ANYTHING GOES

For this challenge I decided on  an all white card...
A Christening card.


I cut two pieces of cream card each measuring 6 inches square.
One of the pieces I measured 3/4" down and scored right across to make a valley fold.
I glued this to the back of the first square by only the fold to make a tent card.
I cut two pieces of co-ordinating paper, one 6 7/8 square & 6 3/4 square
and distressed the edges.
I die cut a filigree oval centre piece and slotted a piece of white ribbon through the centre and fastened it to the back of the mats using double sided sticky tape.
I made a triple bow from the same ribbon and placed it on the right on top of the ribbon strip.
I die cut a Christening dress & bonnet and placed them in the middle of the oval.
I embellished with a single white paper flower and leaves below the dress.
I stamped a 'Christening Day sentiment on to a piece of white card, cut into a banner shape at one end, shaped it and placed at the top left. I put two tiny self adhesive pearls on the left side.
Finally I placed a self adhesive white pearl in the corners.

Hope you like my card and it inspires you to join our challenge.
