this fortnight's prompt at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ is called "christmas bells, those christmas bells..." and for once, it means EXACTLY what you think it does: we want to see holiday cards with bells on them! jingle bells, church bells, silver bells, sleigh bells, or any other kind of bell you can think of! here's what i made:
 |
| cardinal brads, holly brads and glitter gold washi tape: eyelet outlet; vintage sheet music and doily (inked green and layered) from my stash; chipboard letters: basic grey; plaid patterned paper: october afternoon; sage green cardstock: core'dinations; ink: colorbox; adhesive: elmers brand gluetape |
the very first year of ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ my lovely blogging friend and fellow jersey girl lorraine of paper vernissage gave me this beautiful memory box "jingle bell border" die and it is still one of my all-time faves! in this case i've used it-- and most of the other elements on the card-- to make my oversized sentiment even more prominent; a task for which those adorable (brand new!) eyelet outlet cardinal brads are admirably suited, imo. my layout was inspired by this week's sketch (#178) from atlantic hearts sketch challenge:
stephanie has also created a most inspiring holiday card (literally) with bells on, why not check it out at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥?
And the search is on for the tiny bells lol. Awesome card. love your take on the sketch.
