Hello! Hope all is well in your world. It has gotten chilly here in my corner of the PNW. I love the crispness in the air when I take our dog for a walk in the morning. I'm still trying to get Christmas cards made and have one to share today. It is for Color Hues (teal and silver) and the Paper Players challenge (clean and simple/favorite image to put on a Christmas card). Let's have a look at what I made.
I used a couple more new Birch Press Design products for my card: Simple Evergreen Sprigs and Festive Jingle Bells. I was so excited when I saw the Festive Jingle Bells dies because I love jingle bells! They are so fun in real life and on a Christmas card. After die cutting everything from teal and silver cardstock I assembled my bells. Then I messed around with arranging the evergreen sprigs and came up with a swag of sorts. Because I tend to fall back on a plain backround I decided to go through my embossing folders and find one that I thought would work. I used the Simon Says Stamp Wild Berry Wreath to add that little something I was looking for. I adhered my little swag and then added the bells. I'm not super happy with the little twine bow and the way the smaller bells are hanging from it, but that is life so I just went with it. I finished with a sentiment from the Simon Say Stamp Sparkle Season stamp set that I stamped in teal ink and die cut with the matching die. One more Christmas card to add to the pile!
Well, that's it for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
The embossed background is perfect for your sprigs and the silver bells! Beautiful card, Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteI have a thing for Bells at Christmas time. The composition of this cards works so well together. Thanks for playing at Color Hues!
ReplyDeletePerfect and wonderful! I love all the elements, yes even that tiny bow! Those bells do look like a bit of fun, and now Silver Bells will be playing in my head all day -- and I'm okay with that!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Rosemary! Your silver bells and bright blue pine needles look beautiful against the embossed background - the perfect symbol of Christmas. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteRosemary, this is gorgeous! I love the beautiful jingle bells. It makes me want to sing! The teal is so gorgeous and just pops off the white. SO, happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteBells at Christmas remind me of It's a Wonderful Life! Yours are beautiful Rosemary and they look lovely with the pine branches to create a sweet swag. Love that background embossing too.
