Paper Sweeties December 2015 Inspiration Challenge!



Hi there!
 
Happy December 1st!  Time to deck the halls with joy!  And, may you have a safe and wonderful holiday season!
 
Today I'd like to share with you my card made for Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge!  This is my second post today, so please scroll down to see my project made for Dies R Us. 
 
I was inspired with the colors and the "Joy" sentiment.  And, here is my card...
 
For my card, I started with a circular shaped base.  I paired it with paper from Carta Bella.  I used the Sweet Cuts-Joy for the focal point.  The bells were die cut using Sweet Cuts-Homespun Holidays.  The hearts on the bells are from the set Sweet Cuts-Beautiful Little Wishes.  The sequins(Gold) and ribbon(Frosting) are also from Paper Sweeties.  The twine is from PTI and I used Liquid Pearls(Bisque) for the center of the sequins.  And, Wink of Stella was applied to the "joy" word die cuts for a bit of shine.

Please hop along to see what my fellow teammates have created!  You won't be disappointed!
