It's Merry Monday time again. And Lesley has another wonderful sketch!
Enjoy!
I love the CASness of this sketch. And it was a perfect opportunity to spotlight another retiring set, Bells and Boughs.
I didn't do a very good job of coloring these bells. They're kind of spotchy looking. Lol, that's what happens when I work on cards at night.

I love how my stash of Christmas cards is growing! If you'd like to grow your stash, I hope you'll join us at Merry Monday. And check out the wonderful samples the rest of the design team has come up with.
Have you ever had Pig Candy? One of our daughters celebrated her birthday Saturday and they fixed us some. It's delicious! Just thick sliced bacon sprinkled with brown sugar and grilled. They also fixed us Atomic Buffalo Turd. Sounds disgusting doesn't it? It was delicious! (And no pasture scraping involved.) That was just the appetizers! What a fun day! Good food and all our family together.
Thanks for the visit.
Enjoy!
Love that embossing folder.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I love this card and what a wonderful sketch. I sure hope I can play this week.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, never heard of that candy nor the appetizer. But, I'm taking your word for it that it was delicious. LOL
Glad you had a good weekend with famiy.
Love your coloring of the bells, Bonnie! Ohh and the added pearls! Such a pretty card!

I think your bells are FINE....but I know what you mean about stamping at night.....tired, tired, tired eyes! I do love the pearls and your embossing! So pretty!

What a beautiful card!! :)
ReplyDeleteSo, wait. You're basically saying you had pig shit? LOL! Wish I had been there!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card today, Bon Bon! You shouldn't diss your "blotchy" bells. There are artists who work very, very hard to get that exact blotchy look!
Great card Bonnie, love every detail.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely take on the sketch, Bonnie! I really love that poinsettia-embossed background.
ReplyDeleteAnd really, how could you not love *anything* made with bacon!!! Sounds like some fun appetizers. :)
Lovely card, Bonnie. I'm home from 3 weeks of vacation and eager to get back to making my Christmas cards and catching up on some challenges. I'll have to give this sketch a try!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Bonnie, I love all the texture. The bells looks wonderful with all those pearls.
ReplyDeleteYou are the Queen of CASness Bonnie - love all that white - you make it look so easy!
