L is for Layers

It's time for the 11th Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge at Beccy's Place.

Day 14 - L

My wide slimline card with a trio of jingle bells started in Silhouette Studio.

I opened the "Single Bell" pre-coloured digital stamp and "Merry Little Christmas" digital sentiment from the Jingle Bell digital stamp set by Beccy’s Place.  I replicated the bells so that I had three to work with, I sized them all differently and flipped one so that the bow was facing opposite the others.  I arranged the bells at different heights and sized sentiment to fit nicely together on a 7 3/4" x 2 3/4" panel to go on the front of a slimline card base.  I printed the panel on white textured cardstock and trimmed to size.  I matted the panel with Stargaze textured cardstock, trimmed to a 1/16" border

with a Perfect Layers Ruler, then adhered to a slimline card base that I had matted with white textured cardstock.  I love how this rich blue matting layer accents the blue-grey of the bells.  One last thing was needed to finish it off, a magical touch of sparkle with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to all the bells.

   

I love the delicate sparkle from Wink of Stella

but it's so hard to capture it in photos ...

trust me, it's there and it twinkles in the light from all angles.
