The three long banners down the side of this card are made from washi tapes. I taped on white paper and then cut the flag ends. The die cut around my image is from Sue Wilson and the 3 jewels on the side are jewels with crinkled foil behind them.
The sentiment on the oval image is actually stamped using a clear stamp set that I curved (the nice thing about clear stamps and how flexible they can be) and stamped. I always panic when stamping right on my image! I test test test and then take the chance on my image. This time it worked great! And below is a picture of my bow. I used a brad (with the legs cut off) and glued it to the middle of my bow. This little brad was so perfect with the paper. So many people like my bows, and I'm always pleased to hear that since I can't be separated from my little bow tool for long.
Thanks for stopping by!
Gail

Absolutely festive creation, Gail, and I also love the traditional red/green of the holiday. You've gotten just the right amount of glitz to your card, and love your banners, along with your bow and brad (which the tree matches your background paper, too). Your coloring is terrific, and very fitting verse to go along with the bells on this elf's hat. Have a wonderful day, Gail, with bells on !!
