with love on your christening

hi and good morning to all.
for today's post i am sharing a family card i have made for my great nephew who is being christened as we speak. Jack is a feisty little boy who is now coming on leaps and bounds considering the length of time he has spent in and out of hospital with his CDH bless him.
i am a huge hoarder of lili of the valley stamps (i have a lot of them lol) i just love the cuteness of these images drawn by a very talented artist and today i have used baby christening (retired) and i have chosen to use my distress ink to colour.

baby christening, lili of the valley

i have also used lots of dies to embellish my card including the stunning gilded oval from little darlings ( i so need to buy this die, it was a sample extra in my recent purchase from dies to die for).
