Christmas Card Club Challenge 25: Silver Bells

Hello Everyone,  hope you are not getting stressed too much over Christmas cards,  Shopping and Cleaning.  I certainly was not out and about on Black Friday.   Definitely not my thing at all.
Anyway, on to more important matters. Now we are at Challenge 25 over at the CCC where the lovely Asha has chosen the theme of Silver Bells.
  I have used a beautiful Pyrimage print from Craftsuprint,  and I could just imagine the Church bells ringing out for Christmas worship.   I added pearl glue around the border  Added my silver bells and a lurex silver ribbon bow to finish it off.
  Just one more challenge to go and then we are having a break till January.   Thank-You ladies for all the great themes and now my cards are just about finished, thanks to you.   Most of my shopping done, just a few extras still to buy and a few projects to finish off.      Hugs Rita xxxxx

Another beautiful and elegant card Rita, - wow those pearls look so real, would love to know what brand of pearl glue you used, - mine never seem to hold their shape like that...

You seem to be so organised for Christmas, - hope you are finding some time to relax too.
Have a lovely Sunday! xxx

This is gorgeous Rita, the church looks so welcoming and I love the border you created around it with the dies and beautiful pearl glue. We did go out on Friday but did not expect to find the mad rush of people, so came back home instead! Not my thing either.. Well done for getting so many Christmas cards finished - I fear it will be clean and simple this year for me.... sigh. Big hugs, Anne xx

Glenda said...

Such a beautiful and elegant card I love the church scene looking at it you can almost hear the crisp crunch of walking on fresh snow so very beautiful, and the border really makes the card too.

This is so beautiful!
Love those small bells...wish i had seen them at my shop. We get a good selection but not all of course. Just recently started getting the magazines with the small dies inside for twenty dollars...but they fly off the shelves!
Love your wonderful card!

So beautiful with the serene church scene (and I can just hear those bells ringing out in the crystal clear air). Love the blue & white with the delicate silver bells trimming all that gorgeous lacey white on your beautiful dies. A very beautiful card, Miss Rita. Love it a lot..Also admire your little Christmas countdown with the falling snow. So pretty. TFS & hugs
