Hello friends. I have a Christmas card to share today. I love making Christmas cards all year long and wanted to join in the CAS Christmas Card Challenge which is bells this time.
ETA: Yes, my card was chosen as one of the Top Three as CAS Christmas.
The bells and sentiment are from SU Seasonal Bells along with the bell punch (retired). I have had this set several years and never used it so this was a good time to get it out. I stamped both the bells and sentiment in Versamark and embossed them with gold embossing powder. I cut the image panel and the bottom layer with SU Stitched Rectangles. I did put the top layer back in the die and cut off one end to make it shorter and then layered the bells and mounted them with foam tape. I added a gold/white baker's twine bow. I added a thin gold foil mat to make the images pop. The bottom layer is embossed with SU Subtles EF to give it more definition. I am pleased with the way the card turned out.
I will also link to Darnell's NBUS challenge as I had not used this set before.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and stay safe.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
