We're celebrating the holly and the ivy - festive foliage of the holidays with the Jingle Belles this time. I used this string of bells die to decorate with some holiday foliage which was also die cut. The background panel is embossed with tons of poinsettias.
I also used a piece of vintage ribbon with more poinsettias. The white is a lot white IRL. The bells were cut from silver metallic paper.
Since we're having a snow day tomorrow with a March blizzard forecasted for our area I am going to try to get another card done for this challenge. Stella is the name of the storm. They're using all kinds of adjectives for this one - historic being one of them. And I hope that it doesn't turn out to be as historic as the last storm that began with an "S" - Sandy. We are in the 18-24" path. Thank goodness for snowblowers.
We have a pool going with our Table 7 crew as to the final accumulation total using our house (the furthest north) as the measuring point. Might as well make it interesting, although I think that all our guesses will be less than what we actually get according to all the weather service hype.

see, i keep on telling everyone it was a MISTAKE to start naming these storms... it just encourages them to be "memorable"!!!!!! :0
ReplyDeleteon the other hand, this gorgeous card is EXACTLY the right kind over memorable... also gorgeous, creative and cool! and an excellent reminder that i'm a fool to forget about e'f/s for months at a time bc they add so much interest & texture to cards!!! love this! keep safe & warm! xoxoxolauren

ReplyDeleteI really like the combination of the silver bells with the ferny foliage and mini poinsettias. What perfect ribbon to go with them.
