All discounted products can be found under Sales & Specials.
For today's project I was inspired by the "Sending You A Bucket of Kisses" sentiment in JustRite's new Loving Thoughts set. I made a Valentine's candy holder by turning a Holly Berry House Allegany Bell upside down. [ETA: Oh my goodness, some of you have given me more credit than is due! Turning the bell upside down is an idea included in the instruction sheet for assembling these bells. Thanks to Holly Berry House for this wonderful alternative use!] I stamped on watercolor paper and watercolored with Tombow Markers. When assembled, the inside of the bell{basket} does show some seams where the five pieces are joined. To cover those up and pretty it up a bit, I adhered some lace trim inside the basket rim. The base of the basket is a Blossom Nestabilities die-cut.
The dowel rod is secured to the inside of the basket with a *very* generous pool of hot glue. From the top of the dowel, I tied a bow from some beautiful May Arts pink silk ribbon, then hung the tag made with the JustRite sentiment.
Here's a coordinating card:
I used three bell sections, another sentiment from JustRite's Loving Thoughts set, and a Spellbinders Lattice Borderabilities die-cut as the primary elements. The base and rectangular layers are made from watercolor paper and Prismatics Blush Red dark card stock (my absolute favorite red!).
Your next stop on the hop is the amazingly talented Silke Ledlow! Enjoy!
