Christmas Bells!

 


Good Morning Ladies, 

Oh my its a chilly one today, we have to be up and out as I have Bladder Clinic and there is a road closure, which makes things fun!!  

Today I am sharing a Christmas card that was part of Tracy Evan’s Workshop (121), let's just say it was a long make!   The poinsettia took me a good two hours to colour and I didn't do aa many layers of colour as I should have,  but I think it looks ok.  Making a mask for the bells was a pain, you have to trace and cut the bell  centre out  using copier paper so its thin enough to stamp over,  I ruined two lots of blended bells by not having the mask exact.  The last labour of love was colouring and fussy cutting those holly sprigs!  I will only be making one of these! 🤣😂

I hope that you all stay warm and cosy today, 

Love and hugs to all of you,

  1. It’s a beautiful card but I know what you mean When something takes that long to make you are going to do only one
    Have you tried using your ScanNCut to “fussy cut” items I admit I get mixed results ie what it picks up when scanned but it’s worth a try
    Made a huge beef stew yesterday which we’ll have again today So all I have to make are dumplings More time to craft
    Take care everyone

  2. Hi, it’s a really great card, I’m not very patient when things take a long time.
    I’m sorry I’ve not been in for a while, haven’t been feeling too good.
    Daughter and her husband are coming this afternoon for a couple of days. It’s our diamond anniversary today, we had a card from the King and Queen.
    Hoping the card I’ve done will be ok for Sunday.
    Have you had any snow? We awoke to a white world, but it’s melting now hoping the roads will be OK .
    Hope the bladder clinic goes ok.
    Have a good day all. Lilian
