Vintage bells

Hi and welcome to a scheduled post to announce the latest challenge over at ATSM.
This week out theme is -

HOLIDAYS

For my DT inspiration I went with a vintage feel OL Christmas card.


For more information on the stamp set used pop back later! (here)

The bells were stamped and masked while the evergreen boughs were stamped in a mix of DI's, Chipped Sapphire and Mowed Lawn I think! I used Copics to colour the bells and then drew the strings freehand using a black fine liner.
The snow in the background was made by stamping small circles from Balloons and Banners by STAMPlorations embossed in detail white embossing powder. For a vintage feel I used a dark cream/ latte coloured cardbase.

This week we are sponsored by Kylie at 


Wow, thanks Kylie.
So check out the rest of the DT and join in.

I'm going to join in over at:-

I've just gone OL without the twist!
