The bells, the bells!

At Christmas Kickstart this fortnight they are looking for bells on our projects.  That gave me an excuse to play with some lovely wooden embellishments that I recently got - these particular ones being bells decorated with tiny angels.

Aren't they sweet? I often add colour to wooden embellishments, but because I didn't want to obscure the pokerwork detail I kept these plain and decided to add lots of natural texture with the hessian-embedded paper and corrugated kraft. The sentiment is stamped with a very old Studio G mini set and I finished it off with holly brads because I wanted to play with more new stash add a pop of contrast to the red-and-neutral colour scheme.
