Silver bells


It was Asha's turn to choose the theme for this fortnight's CCC challenge and she said:

'It's Advent Sunday, and the countdown to Christmas begins now. The theme of the challenge is
"Silver Bells", inspired by the famous carol. Create a Christmas project based on this festive tune.'

I found some free sheet music of the carol and digitally added the bells and the street scene, fading them around the edges because I didn't want them to have white rectangles on the music. After printing, I coloured the bells silver.


This is also for:

  12. Very pretty scene with the way you used the fade out against the nice sheet music. That was a genius idea to do that treatment...so very soft. The silver bells glimmered so sparkly against the composition. A lovely inspiration on Asha's great challenge theme. TFS & Hugs.
