Ruby wedding anniversary

I was asked to make a Ruby wedding anniversary card. I have to confess that I re-purposed some bits from a couple of cards I made long ago and didn't really like.

The spotted background was made with an embossing folder and the swirls with a stencil, using fired brick distress ink. The hearts were die cut using snippets and flowers from stash.

This is for:

Christening card

I was commissioned to make a Christening card with the request that it have lots of pink, the child's name and a Bible verse.

I've used double sided Fancy Pants 'heavenly' paper from their Key Lime Pie range.

The Bible book shapes were cut with a nestie die. I used a little strip of white teddies (had these for years) as the stopper and the Forever Friends bear and other elements.

Inside I stuck a couple of glittered hearts with gems and the 'on your special day' sentiment.

The scripture verse:
