Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Today I have a VERY shiny card!
I punched these bells from foil cardstock and embossed them with my
subtle embossing folder. The bow was die cut from red foil.
With all that shine, I needed to heat emboss the sentiment and add some embossed
gold highlights to the wreath.
Getting a good photo was the hardest part!

Very pretty. Love the gold bells and red bow. Love how you added the gold highlights on the wreath and the gold embossed sentiment. TFS
You captured that shine beautifully, Bonnie! and added just the right amount of gold to bring attention to that sweet embossed wreath!
Now I'm wondering if your Christmas cactus bloomed?

What a beautiful card, Bonnie! Love the gold bells with texture as well as the bit of gold you added to the embossed background! This is so imaginative and the result is fabulous!
Lots of shine and lots of beauty! Love the pretty bells and that bow just sets everything off perfect.

The bells look fantastic embossed, Bonnie, and I love that big red bow.
What a great idea to dry emboss your bells - I must remember to do that with die cut or punched pieces. Love all the gold shine! I agree - it's so difficult to photograph shiny cards!
Another beautiful Christmas design Bonnie, and I love the gold bells and so prettily dry embossed and look great with the added red bow, and the embossed wreath with the added gold heat embossed highlights and the gold heat embossed sentiment are both wonderful finishing touches. x
Oh I am loving the shine on this beautiful card Bonnie! The bells are so pretty with the subtle embossing, got to love the red, shiny bow as well. Looks so pretty on the embossed wreath. Just beautiful! Hugs, Brenda
It's beautiful, I love the shine xx
Just when I was all in the mood to sing "Silver Bells" -
I do love that red bow!!

I like the little touches of gold you added to the wreath! This is wonderful, Bonnie!
Beautiful and elegant card with all the foil, Bonnie. Love the accents of gold and then that hit of colour from the red bow. xx
Gold embossing was the perfect addition to your wreath, it adds a bit of antiqued character, as does the embossing of the die bells - pretty card
Wow, such an interesting look and texture...very nostalgic. Love.
You're rockin' the Christmas cards, Bonnie! What a pretty overall effect this card has with the white base almost appearing to have been cast in plaster. Add a vintage look with the worn gold. The bells, too, have a vintage look. Yet it's festive and fun at the same time. I love it!
Ohhhhhhh yes indeed that is a VERY shiny card, and I mean that in a very very GOOD way. Love the texture on the bells and the multiple colors of foil; also love the soft gold inking on the embossed background, so very elegant! Well done you, i'm so happy you've helped us celebrate "Those Christmas Bells" at Jingle Belles!
Love all the shimmer and shine on this stunning card Bonnie. The texture on the bells is fabulous
Blessings

What a beautiful and shiny Christmas card, Bonnie! Dry embossed foil bells and the gold heat-embossed highlights are unique and awesome!
