First Communion Sketch

First of all, today is May 6th also known as Nurses Day. I want to start today by saying "Thank You" and "Happy Nurses Day" to all of you Nurses out there. It truly takes a Saint to be a Nurse and to put up with all you do, yet, still be the patient, kind, and loving people that you are. I work in the Medical field and from seeing all that Nurses do first hand, I know that I could never do it! The work of a Nurse is never done, it is always appreciated and never goes unnoticed! Hope you have a Wonderful Nurses Day!
(If you know a Nurse or have a favorite one, make sure you call him or her today!)



Today is also Card Sketch Wednesday here on my blog. Here's today's sketch.


For this challenge, I created this Boy's Communion card.



The Praying Boy Silhouette image was just released this past Saturday by DRS Designs. I embossed it in black embossing powder and then cut it out using my Nesties Labels One set. I added 5 black eyelets to the right side and black ribbon tied in a knot. I matted it as shown and stamped the sentiment, also by DRS Designs, directly on the cardstock base.


Stamps: DRS Designs- Praying Boy Silhouette, Your on My Mind Sentiment
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Paper: Smooth white cardstock by Office Depot, Colored Cardstock by The Paper Company, American Crafts
Accessories: Nesties labels One, Creative Beginnings Embossing Powder, Ribbon by Bobbie M. Designs, Eyelets by Joann's Scrap Essentials.
Finished Card Size: 4.5" x 5.25"



I made a pretty simple card with this sketch. Now, lets see what you can do with it! Make sure to leave me a link in the comment section if you do. I'd love to see your version!

Thanks for visiting today & for all of your wonderful comments. I love reading them!

until next time...

Smiles,
