Rusty Bells

Photo Details

Poster: susanbri

WT1096 = A Bit Rusty

I did some smooshing with Distress and Distress Oxide Rusty Hinge inks on watercolour paper and then cut out the bells. I "hung" them on a star embossed background with copper cord, and added a sentiment on a stitched banner die.

Terrific CAS Christmas card with your "rusty", but still lovely, jingle bells, Susan.

Very pretty Christmas card, Susan. The rusty bells look so lovely against that crisp, embossed background. Creative use of rust color. Hugz

Ha! From the thumbnail pic I thought your bells were going to be pumpkins. A wonderful mix of new and old.

Your smooshed rust looks really good against that crisp white.

The rusty texture on your bells is so convincing, and the soft smooshing gives them such natural depth. They look wonderful against the crisp star‑embossed background, and the copper cord is a perfect finishing touch.

Those rusty bells are great. I have a primitive snowman decoration, he has a little rusty bell just like these.

Rusty bells are beautiful, especially sleigh bells. Love that small starry background.
