The bell image was stamped in Basic Black Classic ink on watercolor paper, and blender pens dipped in the lids of the classic ink pads were used to color it. Gold Lame Smooch Accent Ink was added to the bands around the bells and on the clapper. (You can click on the picture twice to really see the details.)
The holly berries were made shiny with Crystal Effects. After it was dry, I carefully cut it out and popped it up on Dimensionals on a Pear Pizzazz circle (with the edges inked in Old Olive). That, in turn, was matted on a Brushed Gold circle, which was also popped up on Dimensionals.
The stamped background was colored using just a touch of ink with the blender pens (I wanted a faded look). That Poppy Parade Stitched-Poly Ribbon is a breeze to fray!
