I had run off a bunch of pieces using a friend's musical score embossing folder and had this narrow strip of it sitting in my UFO box. The space at the bottom made me think of a new stamp I recently bought - I thought it would work well with the curviness of the embossing folder.
The stamp also included some stars and a bell image but I knew I couldn't fit in the whole stamp, and all I really wanted was the sentiment, so I used my Versamarker to ink up the part I wanted and then heat embossed it in gold. It just fit!!
I die cut three bells out of dark gold glitter cs and strung them on gold cord, keeping the curviness idea going. The bells and the whole panel are popped up with foam tape.

This is so beautiful, Susan and I do love the curvy theme you carried throughout the design! Love all the sparkle on your bells! Don't think I have seen that embossing fold but what a wonderful background it made!

I am so glad I decided to take a cruise through the Christmas Cards tonight. I have some die cuts of gold Jingle bells and I still need a couple of cards for February gold and white cards. Thanks for the inspiration! This is so pretty with the musical EF!
