Joy to the World

Hello!  Hope you are having a good week!  Had a few more Christmas cards to make and so I pulled out a Christmas set that I bought last year from Honey Bee Stamps and made a card for the current Sunday Stamps challenge.  I stamped the image on water color cardstock and then heat embossed the image in gold embossing powder.  The cool thing about the image is that there are two dies that allow you to cut the sentiment  and floral images separate from each other.  I didn't even realize that until I pulled the set out to make my card.  Anyway, I just decided to keep the sentiment and the image together for my card.  I used distress inks in Forest Moss, Bundled Sage, Fossilized Amber, Festive Berries and Abandoned Coral to color my images.  Once the coloring was done I added some additional Fossilized Amber around the sentiment and image.  When the entire piece was dry I die cut it with a large rectangle die and the I further cut it down to fit a red cardstock base.  I simply popped up the image with foam tape and I was done.


Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
