I, of course, adjusted all the sizes and things to fit what I had on hand. The color for Confirmation is RED as a symbol of receiving the Holy Spirit. So the predominant color is Real Red. I also chose Crumb Cake as an earthly-tone to represent the climate the Saints lived in 2,000 years ago--and the dirt that was washed off their feet by those that followed them. The blue is like the sky--where the heavens lie. Hemp twine reminded me of the simple vestments and ropes the Apostles wore. I inked all the edges to give it an aged look, and soften the brightness of the colors.
Here's the card by itself:
And here's the card with the goodies inside (a prayer card, and the medallion necklace for St. James the Greater). I had to custom make a tag to hold the chain -- small punched holes and short slits worked wonderfully to hold it all in place. The tiny tags (solid one is behind the '4 You' one) added just a simple sentiment to the front.
