Vintage Christening

Morning peeps.  I hope you are all well.  Today's card  is a commissioned card.  An elderly lady at SA asked me to make it as she is going to a Christening.  She insisted that she wanted it with Great God-daughter on the front.  She isn't going to be the God Mother but the baby is the daughter of her God-daughter  so in her little mind bless her the baby is her Great God-daughter.  I can't make the insert until she has thought what she wants it to say!!!  I hope she likes it as it isn't a modern take on the subject but a Vintage.

8 x 8 Christening Card

UPDATE I FOUND THIS ON THE INTERNET AND THE LADY SAID SHE WOULD LEAVE IT UP TO ME WHAT I PUT INSIDE.  I HOPE SHE LIKES IT.



May you be blessed on your Christening day,
That Angels will guide you along your way,
May you be surrounded with warmth and care,
With joy and happiness you'll want to share,
May you always find peace in all you do,
Sharing friendships which are honest and true,
May your life be long and worry free,
And when you rest at night secure you'll be,
I offer this prayer to God above,
Then may he surround you with His eternal love.
