Bells for Christmas

Hello! Playing with some Christmas stamps and challenges.   I made this CAS card with Gina K stamps that I inked with Versamark and heat embossed with Gold EP. I colored the image of bells with Copics.  I edged the white panel with Pilot Gold Metallic marker.  Gives the look of a layered mat but without the weight. Placed this on Red Velvet CS.

Jingle All the Way

Welcome!  Do you hear the Christmas bells ringing?  For this card I pulled out an old Bell stamp from Gina K's Very Merry Christmas set but used one of her newer sentiment stamps.  I simply used the stamps with Versamark and Gold EP on Red Velvet CS.  The sentiment was doubled embossed which gave it a raised look. I filled in the ribbons with a Gold Gel Pen.  I stamped and embossed the bells again on Gold Metallic CS which I fussy cut and popped up on the card.  I think this may be the first time to gold emboss on Gold Metallic paper.  The result was a very CAS card but a bit elegant.

I inked the edge of the red layer with Pilot Gold Marker....this is a great way to give a layered look to a card but with less weight for mailing.

A Little Gold

Hello!  I have a One Layer Card with "a little gold" to enter for some challenges.  I used White CS and stamped Bells from GKD Very Merry Christmas set that I embossed with Gold EP and colored with Gold Copic Marker and Red Glaze Pen.  I framed the image by tracing around a Nestabilities die with Versamark pen and emossed with gold.  I drew another frame with a Gold pen inside the first frame. I finished with a simple word Joy in gold.

Christmas Vintage with Fabric

I have missed doing several challenges lately but trying to make up for it this week. This card will cover some vintage, recycle, and fabric challenges currently running. I have tons of fabric from when I sewed and from some my Mother has given me.  I found this Christmas fabric leftover from some of her quilts that I had planned to use for projects but never did. So now I am going to recycle it and the bells that I found also for use in cards.

Challenges:
 Sugar Creek Hollow: Make a  vintage and/or shabby chic project using fabric but no ribbon or lace.
OOPs! I used a bit of ribbon...forgot.  But maybe they just meant that ribbon or lace would not count as fabric???
Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge: Fabric of our Lives-use fabric
ABC Christmas Challenge: R is for recycling-used fabric and bells leftover from other projects
Crafty Ribbons Challenge:  Vintage

Supplies:
Fabric from scraps
Graphic: Graphics Fairy
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink Tea Dye
Paper: SU Brilliant Blue and White CS
Fabric from scraps
Bells: Left over from a Christmas Project
Ribbon and Twine From Stash
