Toni's challenge for us today is to use bells on our cards. This is the only image that I have of bells, so as I flipped through my book of stamps and was thinking of what I could do with it--I came to this snow globe and the idea of a crystal ball came to me. Isn't this a fun engagement card? Now I just need somebody to get engaged!
I started by stamping the snow globe and the bells and fussy cutting. Then I dug through my box of paper looking for fun paper that would look like the inside of a fortune teller's room. I love what I found for the table and I can see the backdrop DP as silky fabric hanging on the walls. I colored in the bells and then sponged on the broken china--then I went back in with some white gel pen detail and swirled in some Wink of Stella. I hand-lettered my sentiment and then popped up the crystal ball on foam squares.

Great take on the challenge - love the paper you chose to emulate silk scarves in the gypsy's tent - Hope some one gets engaged so you can use this - it's wonderful!

This is so clever and imaginative - I hope you have someone to send it to soon. The paper you used for the table is gorgeous. This card shows the fun you had in making it.
