Merry Christmas

I pray everyone in the path of Elsa stays safe.  We are starting to get some heavy rain here in Florida where I am at and it is stronger along the coast.  I am more inland.

Hello friends.  It is Christmas in July and I am working on some Christmas cards.  I made this one for the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge - Anything Goes, optional Jingle Bells

 

 

The bell image is an older Our Daily Bread stamp (now Divinity Designs) called Jingle Bells.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Promarkers.  I then fussy cut the image and mounted it with foam tape on a white panel cut with Pinkfresh Studios Diagonal Stitched Plaid Cover Plate.  I matted the white panel with a thin mat of Real Red CS.  I cut Memory Box Special Merry Christmas from Real Red CS 3 times and layered it for dimension.  After I colored the image I painted a thin coat of SU Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint (retired) over the bells and they really shine in person. Below is a picture of the shine on the bells.

 

  I am really pleased with the final results on my card and have another one ready for Christmas.

 

I will also link to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I really appreciate your comments.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

JoAnn
