Time for the Make Your Mark Challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More! Grab your markers, pencils, or crayons for example... Or gelatos if you want to do what I did! I had some embossed paper I've received from a generous stamping friend and I rubbed green and blue gelatos on it for highlighting the raised areas. Some of the color went to the base too but I think it looks nice so I don't mind!
"Kastejuhlana" is Finnish and means something like "on the celebration of baptism", it doesn't translate very smoothly. In Finland parents usually keep the name of their baby as a secret before it's official by baptism/ non-religious name giving. How about in your country?

My gelatos are gathering dust. I really need to learn how to use them in neat ways like this. They add a fun splash of color to your card Nonni. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, maybe I should use my gelatos too.... great card, Nonni!
