Seasons Greetings

 Good Morning everyone, where do the days go to?

Time for a new challenge over at Alphabet Challenge

The theme for the next fortnight is:

SEASONS GREETINGS
So a really easy one, anything christmas goes




Approx 7.5x7.5" in size.  I first stamped my bells twice, i cut one into a hexagon, coloured the 2nd one with wink of stella pens and fussy cut out.  Using yellow/orange inks i stenciled stars around the base layer of bells. 

Using white and black card i cut a base card and frames to surround my bell layer.  The white frame i mounted on foam tape and glued my base layer of bells into the middle. I gently shaped the cut out bells and glued on top of the base layer with glue gel. 

For the floral arrangement i used rolled roses handmade for me years ago by the lovely ChrisLee from docrafts - thank you Chris😀.  I added pine leaves under the rose. 


Close up shows the shimmer of the wink of stella pens better, i added some white gel pen highlights to the bells too. Ive had this bell stamp for years on a stamp plate by chocolate baroque so good to finally make use of it. 



A blue version




and a purple version


This close up really does show up the shimmer of the wink of stella pens.  Most definitely my favourite buy of 2018. 

Items Used:
Chocolate Baroque stamps 'A child is born'
Cheerylynn pine branch dies
Star stencil
Large Stitched hexagon dies
Wink of stella pens
White gel pen
