The background/frame is D'vine Swirls embossing folder - I embossed and then cut the oval out using Lifestyle Crafts nesting ovals and my Cuttlebug (where would I be without it!) The cross stamp I got years ago and don't remember who made it, but it was just a single stamp I bought. I stamped it with SU Creamy Caramel ink and hand-cut it out. To get the 'light' shining behind it, I flipped the cross over to the backside and chalked from the corners out. This way I could cover all the area I needed while lining it up just right, and not having to worry about getting chalk on the front of the cross. Then flip and adhere.

1st Communion Cards
Two of our neighbors' kids made their first communion together. So, I made them matching cards :-)
The background/frame is D'vine Swirls embossing folder - I embossed and then cut the oval out using Lifestyle Crafts nesting ovals and my Cuttlebug (where would I be without it!) The cross stamp I got years ago and don't remember who made it, but it was just a single stamp I bought. I stamped it with SU Creamy Caramel ink and hand-cut it out. To get the 'light' shining behind it, I flipped the cross over to the backside and chalked from the corners out. This way I could cover all the area I needed while lining it up just right, and not having to worry about getting chalk on the front of the cross. Then flip and adhere.
Tools used: Cuttlebug, D'vine Swirls CB embossing folder, SU Creamy Caramel ink, SU Stampin' Pastels, pop-dots.
