Prettie Wednesday- Shaped Card

So, two weeks ago Julie challenged the Prettie Girls to make a card in a shape other than the normal circle, square, rectangle...she really wanted us to think outside the box. Well, I really wanted to use my new Angel Sophia stamp, so I decided that I would do something angelic. Automatically the line from It's a Wonderful Life popped into my head..."every time a bell rings, and angel gets its wings". SO, you guessed it, I decided to do a bell!! I have never seen a bell shaped card, so I don't know if this is an original idea, but I will tell you that I free handed it, quite a big deal for me, trust me. I made a pattern and then traced it onto a piece of white cardstock that was folded in half. I made sure the top of the bell was on the seam so that the card would stay connected. In hind sight, I think I will do it a tiny bit different so that the seam isn't at the top of the bell, but right under the ring. Anyway...I traced it onto a piece of gold metallic paper from DCWV and cut it out. I added some silver paper from the same pack to accent the bell. The main image is Angel Sophia and she will be the October SOTM for Paper Pretties. You have until September 30th to sign up for the SOTMC in order to get this GORGEOUS Sophia a month before she is released to the public!! Be sure to tell them I sent you!! While you are at Paper Pretties, be sure to check out the rockin sale!! Anyway, back to my card. I colored my Sophia with a combination of glitter pens and SU markers. I decided to pierce a border around her after adding some brads to the corners. I don't know why, but I kinda like it(actually, I messed up, and I had the WHOLE thing put together, so I improvised, but I do love it). I highlighted the wings with a grey marker too. I added some piercing around the edge of the bell, and also added some yummy ribbon to the ring at the top and around the bell. The sentiment is from the SU set Small Script.

Well, that is all for me now, be sure to check out the other Prettie girls and see what gorgeousness they have created!!
