Swinging Bell Card

This is a truly beautiful card which needs patience & a steady hand. After Tina converted it to PDF for me, I printed the main templates to paper & made mirror images.I glued these to the reverse of some matt silver card & cut,using a small,pointed precision craft knife.I then glued the pieces to white card(to hide the remains of the printed templates) & re-cut from the front using the initial cuts as guidelines.I decorated the front section with ready made cut-outs:-gold bells,green xmas trees & a green icicle. Using DST I joined the 3 sections together.Next,I printed the bell templates to paper,glued to the reverse of shiny gold card,cut & assembled.This I fixed to the main card using gold elasticated ribbon & tied a bow for extra effect.

Cutting this by hand was time-consuming & hard on my hands,but the satisfaction of seeing the finished card has given me immense pleasure.This is such an amazing design - Thankyou Tina.
