Ring out the bells tonight.......


Crikey! This card is SO simple and quick! I made a couple (I'll show you the other one tomorrow). The only thing that takes time is getting all the ruddy bits out of the cut! This one wasn't too bad- but tomorrow's-don't even go there!
I used pearlised card throughout for this card, except for the blackout behind the bell which is mirri. I cut a piece of pearlised card slightly smaller than the card front, then matted it onto gold pearlised card and adhered it flat. A smaller white panel was cut, run through a Cuttlebug folder, then matted again onto more pearlised gold card. This piece was adhered with foam pads. A trim was made for the embossed panel with some foiled paper on a punched border wrapped with sheer ribbon. The bell was cut from champagne coloured pearlised card, then the blackout was cut twice from 2 colours of mirri. I cut the bow section off the red bell and adhered it to the complete gold blackout bell, then adhered the pearlised bell to it. The bell was then adhered to the embossed panel with foam pads. Simples!! A sheer bow and some gems on the stars on the bell complete the card.
