The image was stamped in VersaFine and heat set with Sparkle N Sprinkle's Concord Star EP, for a fresh glittery look. The same EP was used on the 2 Holly Branches by Die-Namites.
I played with Color Bursts as a background for the pretty Sue Wilson Snowflake Background die cut. The white die was adhered with my Xyron. Then the entire Color-Burst-background-and-adhered-Snowflake-die-cut was run through the Xyron again. Clear Detail EP from SNS was then heat set on the panel.
While completely covering the white snowflake die cut, the Clear EP created for a "distressed look" on the Color Burst Background. The finished process achieved an icy appearance. Finally, the frame was coated with VersaMark and Sparkle EP107 and heat set one more time for a glitter border.
A Martha Stewart Punched frame provides visual interest under the panel.
Looking forward to seeing your creative designs at the Anything Monochrome Challenge #30 at Scrapy Land Challenge.

Silver Bells, Silver Bells! It's Christmas time in the city ... Practiced that song for the Christmas program with my Third Graders today, LOL. Pretty cool to visit and see Silver Bells on the card.
This is gorgeous. You have everything I love on this card. Beautiful die cuts, perfect glitter, flowers, stamping, great layout and you even have Color Burst on it. It doesn't get better than that. I pinned of course. Giant hugs! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765610669901/

Beautiful die and lovely card Always vote for a blue card ..Lis
Your card came out gorgeous. I have been shopping for that kind of beautiful bells that you have on your card. Also e-mail me at lehill@mtida.net when you can and let me know how you were able to display the Scrapyland dies that you have on this link in one photo and still be able to do the links. It is so awesome and I would like to try this since it lets the customer see the dies better than when I link each one separately. Love your how you post your information.
Oh what a stunning make this is!!! I love those gorgeous roses and simply breathtaking background!!! Oh wow!!! Just gorgeous!!!
Hugs

Oh, my gosh, is this beautiful or what! Just a dreamy, wintry, glittery, snowy fairyland! Not at all like your Florida weather or our southern Oregon coast weather. It's wet and a little chilly here, though. Love the color you chose for your monochrome card. I think the monochrome makes it even prettier, and those bells are just lovely at the center of it!
Such a pretty card! I absolutely LOVE purple, especially done up like this!
Donna, this is absolutely gorgeous!! I love the purple mixed with white and silver and all that fantastic sparkle! Beautiful dies used!
Stunning! I love seeing the Colorburst product in your hands! It worked amazingly as the impressive background to the fab white sparkling dies. Also love the gorgeous roses and that wonderful set of bells to embellish the top layer. This is just so beautiful....TFS & Big Hugs.
Donna, this is a wintry delight! What a beautifully unique design.. the colors are spectacular and the sparkle is pure radiance. The bells are absolutely stunning and I adore every elegant inch of this masterpiece. You have such a gift and it is a joy to see the works of your heart. :o) Thank you for the inspiration, my friend! Have a beautiful day. :o)
Hugs and blessings,
Karen
This would brighten an entire living room from its place of honor on the mantel, Donna! What a sparkling delight!! Happy Thanksgiving! Hugs, Darnell
Wow, Donna, all those beautiful dies and glittery goodness are so pretty. Love the bells in the center and the color you chose. You always put so much into your cards, this one is simply wonderful.
Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving, we will go to our daughters and take half my kitchen with me, LOL. We have a dusting of snow tonight, just enough to cover the ground, but it is cold.
I am forever grateful to have met you on our blogs, and for what you did for my sister in her time of need. I will always remember your kindness.
Big Hug
