Here’s a pretty simple Christmas card that could easily be mailed with no extra postage. Although, I can’t say it was a fast card. I am just not very good at coloring so it takes me a while to make cards like this. Plus, I did a little fussy cutting with the bells stamp because I wanted to pop it up with a dimensional over the rest of the holly. I don’t think I’ll be mass producing this one.
Enjoy your Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by!
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Bells & Boughs
Ink: Staz-on Black, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard, Summer Starfruit
Paper: Very Vanilla, Watercolor paper, Festival of Prints dsp stack
Embellishments: none (OMG!!! — I’ve never done that before!)

Very pretty! I love how you popped up the bells and your coloring is beautiful! Love the plaid background too! Great card!
Thanks, Kathi! You always have such kind words.
Bells and Boughs just arrived at my home and I was wondering what background would be special enough to showcase this beautiful stamp set. You have nailed this task Amy. Your painting is quite elegant too along with the positioning of the boughs and bell.
Well, thank you Loralee! Have fun with your new set!
Very pretty card.
Amy I love this card! Any reason to use Bells and Boughs I love! And I don’t think of it as fussy cutting, I like to call it ‘precision cutting’. What a skill to have!
I like “precision cutting”. I’ll have to remember that term!
