Silver Bells

I wanted to try to make a non-traditional card for the holidays.
I have a spot on my table that needs a special touch,
but I wanted something different, so here is my design.
 

 
I started with a pink centerstep card and
added the pink and purple gingham papers.
For sparkle, I cut the bell at 4" from the TTT cartridge
with the blackout layer done in a silver metallic topped
with a dark purple outline.
Scalloped circles from WW have been embossed and inked to
form the backdrop for the beautiful "Silver Bell."
 
The snowy border that decorates the bottom is actually a
Fiskars Christmas Tree punch that has been turned upside down.
The sentiment was actually printed on my Cricut using the WW font
and is backed by handcut mats that have had the corners rounded.
 
Again, using my favorite punches of the season,
I added the snowflakes and branches for that festive touch.
 
 
The inside cooridinates with the card front and the sentiment
is stamped in purple ink from the All Night Media - Say it with Stamps kit.
 
I don't make very many of these non-traditional cards,
but always enjoy the look when they're complete.
TFL!
 
I will be entering this in the following challenges:
Merry Christmas to all!
