First Communion Favors and some Challenges

 Dear Scrappers,
I did some bookmarks for as little favors for my son and some of his friends for their first communion.

I used some challenges:
4 crafty chicks

4 Crafty Chicks:

4CC #234 - THINGS WITH WINGS

and took some acrylic angels from Clear Scraps from mini books, I bought last year in CKC Houston and used them as my main idea;

 The second challenge, I used as inspirations was heart 2 heart challenges:

enTWINEd

and used some scapulary, I bought from a catholic store, instead of twine or ribbon to hang from the bookmark. The shoulder bands are made out of entwined silk threads similar to the ones in baker twine...

 I used alcohol inks and used some techniques I learned as a teacher assistant to Susan from Clear Scraps to ink the head, winds, and dress from the angel:

 I used a silver leaving marker to highlight the edges of the angel's wings:

 For the prayer, I used some I found in some first communion cards at that catholic store and added my child information, printed them using my HP photosmart premium printer. I later cut the angels and the trapezoid prayers using my scan and cut from Brother.

I did have some problems cutting the angels (the scan'n cut didn't recognized all the angels printed in one page). Next time I will try my luck with my scan and cut function from my cricut explorer, however, this time I was in a time cramp and I had to do around 20 angels... Who knows, maybe I won't have the same problems using the explorer...

Here are some pictures from the front and back of the finished angels and from the finished favors:

 I used some Rock Candy glitter from Ranger to give some highlit to the wings in the back of the card and distressed the edges using my Slate ink from CTMH:

Some of the other materials and tools I used:

I hope you enjoyed this fun project and make some comments about my techniques ;-)

Have a wonderful week,

Veronica
