Christmas Card With Real Bells and MD Lantern

Hello Bloggers,
The sun cannot decide whether it should or should not break through the mist in Amsterdam today :) While it's struggling, I am presenting  a new card. A Christmas card, naturally :)

The sentiment is gesso-stecilled and glittered with some fine golden glitter. I also used some golden wax on the lantern, the candle and the flower. And some snow.

The bells at the upper left corner are real bells. They even ring, well, kind of :)

I added a small punched cross inside the lattern.
