Joyeux Noël

Hello everyone!

As you know, Saturday is 52Christma Card Throwdown day on my blog. This week we invite you to play with the following topic

Bells

...and I have neither stamp, nor punch for it!!!

But those who know me, know that does not stop me!

First I tried to make the bells - which was actually much easier than I thought at first! 

I punched out three different sized circles, colored them gray, and then cut two small slots in each bell. 

I also stamped small embellishments on each one and glued a string to them for hanging.

So, now that the most important part was done, I could move on to the rest.

I die cut the fir branch from white cardstock and colored it with alcohol markers. - I have a bunch of design paper and colored paper too, but never the one I want! - Do you feel the same way??

It was the same with the background. I designed it myself as well. 

I used the large black ink pad from Stampin'Up and wiped from top to bottom with light pressure over the white paper until I liked the result. Then I made small splotches with white ink and let it dry.

Meanwhile, I made a nice bow and glued it, as well as the bells and the branch to the card. 

Lastly, I stamped the beautiful sentiment from Scrap Plaisir, and adhered the whole thing to a white card base.

Have Fun!
