And for people from Scandinavia, like me from Norway, of course J is for JUL!!!!! (Christmas in Norwegian, Swedish and Danish).

I love the gold foil embossed. I'll have try that. Di you add shimmer to the image in some way? It's very beautiful.

Beccy said...

Hi 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.
Cheers,
Beccy

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!

I 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.
