The Bell


Thank you all for your wishes and lovely comments. I had a slow start today as I partook of a bit of the old but tasty grape last night at a local establishment, hee hee. 
Living within easy distance of a peal of bells by Taylor's of Loughborough a good bell die was high up on my wish list and I am delighted with this one. Also had a wee go with a bit of distressing and love the effect with this embossing folder so a simple card was done. Hope you like it. 
Card is approximately 5x7 in white
backing is brown co-ordination card, bell is black co-ordination card
both run through the Couture Creations embossing folder Fretboard,
Dies used – Die-namics Chevron Stripes,  Memory Box Virtuoso Music and
 Dee's Distinctively Silhouette Bell.

  9. Hi Flora, you have used your birthday stash well, this card is brilliant, loving that bell die. A group of friends are bell-ringers so this would be the perfect die for me to get - thanks for sharing, otherwise I might never have seen it! Hugs, Anne x

    May I wish you a Happy Birthday for when ever it was as I forgot the last time I commented.
    I'm glad you enjoyed the part taking of the grape, we all need a little grape juice now and then especially if it's to celebrate our Birthdays.
    Have a wonderful crafty day.
