So, first I stamped my bells, once in black and once in brown. Then I coloured them with my Spectrum Noir markers. One was in a grey/silver and blue colour scheme, the other in a yellow/gold and red and green colour scheme. Then I fussy cut them out.
Next, I took two white card bases and on one I stamped the snowflakes from the Vignette: Christmas Block set in a pale sky (SU!) and the other in mellow moss (SU!). Then on the blue one I attached a strip of silver glitter tape (Darice) and on the green I attached gold glitter tape (Tapeworks).
I then adhered the bells on their respective card bases with some foam dots. Lastly, I stamped my sentiment from the Trendy Feathers set in black on both cards. It's rather amazing how two cards made exactly the same can look so different, isn't it? I'm definitely going to have to ink up those bells again too. They are so lovely.
Well, I hope you've enjoyed my cards today. I certainly enjoyed making them! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a fantastic day! Thanks again to STAMPlorations for having me guest design! It's been a blast :-)

ReplyDeleteLovely cards, Kim! The bells are so festive and perfect for thank you cards.
ReplyDeleteIsn't amazing how two cards can look so different just by the color! It is funny how the silver one looks more hard and the gold one looks more soft. Both of your cards are very nice and thanks for the spotlight.
ReplyDeleteMy bells need some attention, too, Kim and you've provided some wonderful inspiration! Beautiful x two!!
