It's my pleasure to host this week & a big congrats to Crystal, the newest Featured Stamper! She has a big, beautiful gallery & there were many I wanted to case, but I kept coming back to THIS. I kept pretty much everything..the layout, the Christmas theme..but I used different images & made my own backgrounds (except for the music oval).
After stamping & fussy cutting the bells, I stamped different Christmas words in cranberry onto the red layer & holly & snowflakes on the green w/ the oxide ink. The gold star was ciimped after die cutting & I added part of an oval of music behind the bells. I also added some looped gold thread behind the bells.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ closeups, the inside & product links: The Write Stuff

This is a great casing of those pretty Christmas bells of Crystal's. I like your layout for your card.

Julie,
I love your take on my card, in fact, I LOVE it even more than my original card! You added so much more detail to it and I think it's the stamped background I love most!

Such a pretty creation in the traditional colors. This is such a nice layout; I particularly love the texture of the star and the delicate gold thread.
