Christmas Bells

 When I saw the colour combo at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, I thought of the Penny Black bells...

I stamped the bells with Ripe Persimmon and Dried Marigold and then when dry, I stamped again with a touch of Delicata Gold.  In real life, they look rusty.  The border and sentiment were stamped in black and then I decided some black bows and gold sequins would bling it up a bit. 

Looking at it now, I think I should have done the 'twine' in black. What do you think? 

Stamps: Penny Black Jingle Bells, Brush Cones; Mama Elephant Basic Borders
