Jingle Bells

Hi Everyone!

Fasten your seat belts -

we're with Angela Radford

today.  Let's see what she

has for us ............

"Hi all. I'm here today to show you a 

Christmas card I've made.

 Now I'm sure you are like me and have

 left-over background papers which are just

 too good to waste.

Well you may remember that I made 

these for the Bokeh project and as usual

 there was some left over so decided

 to use it to make a Christmas card. 

If you need to see this technique again

 you can find it here: 

I started by cutting two pieces of the

 background paper and stamping the 

Woodware Sketchy Baubles. 

These are just so sweet!

Dab a small amount of Stickles Glitter glue

 on the baubles and allow to dry

When these are completely dry apply

 Glossy Acents to glaze.

The next stage was to cut out the baubles 

and the small circles and attach them to

 the other piece of background paper. 

Do not attach the largest bauble yet.

 I also ran black stickels glitter glue down 

the cord, around the bow to make them

 stand out and edged the card too.

 At this stage I attached the two

 die cut elements. I cut one in black to 

give a shadow and one in silver.

Now is the time to add the large bauble 

so that it shows towards the front of the design.

Finally I stamped a sentiment from the

 Woodware Vintage Christmas Words

 and layered this onto black card

 and attached it. 

Coloured gems complete the design.

Happy crafting everyone, 

Angela xXx"

safe place................
