The challenge over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week is to make a card using the theme of bells.
The retired Stampin' Up set Bells and Boughs is perfect for this challenge and I decided to make a suitably vintage style card to complement these lovely stamps. I have used a Crumb Cake card base with the Thinlit Circle Card die. I coloured the bell design with markers and added champagne Glimmer Paper stars and rhinestones coloured with Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities. I do hope that you like my card and that you will join us over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown for lots of festive inspiration! April x
such a great design - I love the colors you used
ReplyDeleteThis stamp set is perfect April, and great idea to make a swing card - very fitting! Hugs, Gill xx
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Gill. Ha ha! I hadn't thought about how a swing card fits with the theme :-) It is a great stamp set - I have always loved it Xx
DeleteOh this is so pretty and I do like that it's an interactive card too. Great work. xx
ReplyDeleteI've recently discovered swing cards. They look impressive but are not that hard! It's a lovely card and I particularly like the self-colour stamping on the brown.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison! They're even easier when you use a Thinlit!! (I am a lazy crafter) :-) Xx
DeleteThis swing card is a great DT card! I like your vintage take on the bells theme.
