Little Lamb: a baptism invitation template

Little Lamb is a christening invitation with a lamb standing in a meadow of tiny daisies, drawn in sage line on ivory, a blush bow tied at its neck.

Its woolly coat is scalloped like a cloud, its face sleepy with one pink cheek, its four slim legs planted in the grass. Beneath, the baby’s name is printed in Caslon above a blush-pink seal. Of the christening designs this is the gentlest, sweet without turning babyish, and sage paired with blush suits a son or a daughter. First the sage belly band slides away, soft pink petals float across, and pressed numbers mark how many days remain. A typical programme: welcome, christening, picnic lunch on the lawn, then cake. Every reply of yes scatters pearls and a few green leaves. Lovely for a spring baptism, a christening followed by a garden lunch, or a blessing at home.
