Christmas Bells



I finally had time to make a card tonight, whilst also getting some bind-weed weeding done down on the allotment. So here is my Christmas Bells card:
For this card I used a patterned base of red card with pale polka dots that came free with a Cross Stitch magazine (I think). The digi stamp is from Aliciabel and the words were added on the computer, before the image was printed and coloured using promarkers. Large frame nesting dies were used to cut the image and silver mirri card, and then layered together. A rectangle was cut from the mirri card, and a tree die cut from yellow pearlescent card layered onto it, leaving the star loose. A red and gold Christmas ribbon was wound around the panel before the panel was adhered to the card base. The frame layer was layered over this panel, but slipped behind the star on the tree. Poinsettia leaves were die-cut from the pearlescent paper and red mirri card. These were layered together and layered over the panels to finish.

This card was based upon the following sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge:

To finish off this blog post I thought I would leave you with my giant leek that I harvested today:

Thanks for looking. Hugz Tinz
