And since I am still in need of Christmas cards....I created one more! I was inspired last year by a Belli team member, Darsi, that designed for Fred She Said and she makes the most gorgeous cards!!! I love the images and have quite a few of them sitting in a computer file...unused.....!
The spirit of the Belli challenges is to encourage you to use your OLD and FORGOTTEN embellishments!
I am using the Christmas Rose pre-colored stamp set from Fred She Said on Cryogen White cardstock. I tried something new- to cut out the image- I used Spellbinders Labels 9 die and just cranked the end of the die into the Cuttlebug....on each end- I do not think I have ever used this die before...... The middle portion was cut freehand. I cut out black cardstock behind the Labels 9 shape and then added Fleur De Lis corners behind that. The sentiment is also from FFS and I used some gold findings given to me by a friend and added pearls on top of them.
Be sure to stop by the Creative Belli Blog to see what the other Belli Girls made for you today....they are such a talented group and I am so humbled to be part of the team. you upload a card to Splitcoast, PCP, Stamp TV or another online gallery be sure to add CBC132 in the keywords section.
