One of my granddaugters will be having her confirmation in the Catholic church next month. I wanted a special card for that occasions. As I had no appropriate stamps for religious purposes, I went searching the digital stamp companies. I found this cross one by Chubby Mermaid on etsy.
It has the scripture from Philippians 4:8 about Whatsoever is true, noble, pure, lovely,,.think on these things. It comes with the scroll border. After I printed out the image, I used a stencil from Honey Bee stamps called Stained Glass. I used a lot of pastel inks around the edges of the cross. After trimming the design, I matted it on black and then on a soft green. I added the butterfly as a symbol of new life.

Your card turned out beautifully! I love the soft pastel colors, and I think the symbolic butterfly was a great idea. Congratulations to your granddaughter.
