It is Day 11 and that means it is time for Random Acts of Cardness, Christmas. I have used the bells by Paper Rose for my card.
Last week for our blog hop I did some plaid backgrounds for my cards. I did this card at that time with the intent of using it today. A striped stencil turned both ways and Blueprint Sketch Distress ink is all you need.
I then added a vellum panel to the card front, and stamped the image on white cardstock using Memento Ink in Jet Black. I then proceeded to colour the bells with Copic markers.
I started with the ribbon using B12, B6 and B16. I start with the lightest, going up to the darkest, then come back down again to get my blends, which I have done on these bells. For the leaves I used YG03, YG17 and YG63 and the berries R17, R27 and R46. On the bells I used N2, N4 and BV25. I then used my colorless blender along the edges which adds aging to the bells. I finished by adding white gel pen to the bells. I then die cut the bells with the coordinating die.
To the back of the bells I added foam tape to attach to the card front. I then die cut the Joy from white cardstock and the background from vellum background. I rubbed the Joy die in the VersaFine Ink Blue Belle until it was nice and dark, the heat dried to avoid ink transfer. I glued the Joy to the vellum background and attached to the card front using Nuvo glue.
To finish I added a gum drop to the hanging area of the ribbon to indicate that it was hanging from there.
I hope you are inspired by today’s card and wish to thank you for visiting us here at Scrap’n Stamp.
