And here is the card I made. I forgot all about this 2-pc Quickutz bell die I've had for a long time, so I used it for the main focus of the card. I embossed a piece of white card stock with gold ep and used it to cut the top of the bell, then die cut the bottom layer with cherry cobbler. I added some tiny ivory pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty inside the holes on the bell as well as on the punched border. The gold-embossed sentiment is by SNSS and I used BoBunny dsp throughout, with some dark green cardstock for the SB scalloped circle. The main circle was sponged with Ranger antique linen ink, and the gold ribbon is from my stash. The bell is popped up on dimensionals.
Merry Christmas in May :) Thanks for stopping by!
