First Communion Invitations

Hello Friends, 
Today I wanted to share something I have been working on this week.
They are invitations for my daugther's Holy Communion. 
I needed to get these out soon before the big day for family to make plans to come and join us. 

I have already bought her dress for this special occasion but it's getting hemmed.
This dress is like a little wedding dress.  
I was like OMGoodness, I was looking into the future.  I had to close my eyes and breathe. 

Here they all are: 
I had to make 20 of them.  I made extras just in case we wanted to invite more. 

Here is one by itself:

It's a sheet invite with a vellum overlay.  I added a white border on the top and bottom of the vellum. I used a Spellbinders die - Crosses two.  I added some glitter glue to the cross.  Lastly, I added a sheer and satin pink ribbon.  

Thanks everyone for stopping by today.  
Have a great Day!!

Hugs,
