I have what seems to be a mountain of Christmas supplies, particularly ephemera, that I'm challenging myself to use this year instead of purchasing new. It's been fun digging through the years of collected embellishments and papers, so that's what I did here. Love the 25 ephemera, so used that as one of my circles, and stamped the jingle bells and sentiment from Bright Spirits on the larger circle.
Added some embellishments, including my new favorite of embossing a wood veneer snowflake with frantage embossing powder for a super fun snowy effect. Each layer is inked with antique linen distress ink and matted with black. Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you have a fantastic start to your week.

What a lovely card, Julee - the sparkle on the paper pieced jingle bells is fab!
Sorry you are not feeling well. Hope you feel better real soon.
Love your card with the shiny bells and pretty papers.

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well.
And happy to hear that you are using your stash. It is difficult to part with some items, and work to dig through the mountain of goodies. But bravo for your efforts.
I just LOVE your card! and all the little elements and special touches. Truly a masterpiece!
feel better soon, and have a blessed Thanksgiving!
Adore that polka dotted bow with the bells. Fabulous black trim.
Always love the little jingle bells! I just used some this morning for my mojo card for next week (gotta think ahead with traveling out of state for T-giving). Hope you feel better soon and will be able to celebrate this special week of Thanksgiving in tip top shape!
It's always so great to use up supplies and boy did you ever use them in a gorgeous way! Lovely make!!
I love this! And I love that you are trying to use your hoard. I love the layering you did and the colors next to the black really pop! (PS, I did not purchase much Christmas product this year, but I just used my NEW Verve Christmas set yesterday! hee hee)
