This card took me a bit longer than I had hoped.
However, I learned a lot!
-PLASTIC will melt when covered with embossing powder and shot at with a heat gun.
-Embossing powder doesn't stay smooth on plastic.
-Don't take the time to "create" a handbell handle with ribbon and cardstock,
AND THEN try to attempt the above.
sigh.
live and learn.
live and learn.
I wanted to thank our wonderful director of our handbell choir with a handmade card.
Handbells are not a common trinket...but bells are!
Less is More inspired me to take these inexpensive plastic Christmas decorations and turn them into these instrument charms.
I was able to "color" these silver bells gold with a pastelike paint called INKA GOLD by Viva Decor (which I wouldn't have discovered if everything went right in my crafty world).
-I learn so much from mistakes.
I should be BRILLIANT. ;)
Screaming for charms, don't you think?
I appreciate you stopping by, thank you so much!
