Although not the most difficult letter of the alphabet, "J" is a little on the tricky side when it comes to holiday themed cards.... thank goodness for jingling bells!

Gorgeous Bell Beccy, I absolutely love the embossed gold panel...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card love the bells and yes 1st thoughts was Jingle and jack frost but special cards has to have baby Jesus
ReplyDeleteAnd for people from Scandinavia, like me from Norway, of course J is for JUL!!!!! (Christmas in Norwegian, Swedish and Danish).
ReplyDeleteI love the gold foil embossed. I'll have try that. Di you add shimmer to the image in some way? It's very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne. I didn't add any shimmer to the image, it looks that way because of the texture of the paper. When you colour over it very lightly with pencils, the colour doesn't go all the way into the tiny valleys in the paper surface and so you end up with a kind of shimmery look. The high shine on the bowl of the bell is just a white patch that I didn't colour in. It's just a trick of the eye.
DeleteCheers,
Beccy
Wonderful gold embossing and bell design.

The red, black and gold color combination is very elegant for Christmas! The gold embossing is beautiful. Your jingle bell looks so realistic and the sentiment is perfect with the image. Stunning card!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute card. I love your designs and your cards.
ReplyDeleteI love the embossed gold paper with the holly pattern. What a great way to echo the holly in the image. And that sentiment is perfect.
