Hello, hello! Popping in with a card for several challenges: Just Us Girls (word week: Joy), Color Hues (Pink and Aqua), Sunday Stamps (sketch) and Paper Players (clean and simple Christmas). Lets have a look at what I made.
It is rare that I make a card for four different challenges, but this card is one. It started out that I was only going to make it for Sunday Stamps and Just Us Girls, then I saw the color combo at Color Hues and had to add it to the mix. Then I saw the challenge from Paper Players and couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a clean and simple card! Several years ago I purchased a pretty Stampin Up! set called Joy of Noel. I had used a few of the dies from the set, but never the stamps. I pulled it out for this card. Stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with Copics in shades of aqua and pink. The die cut "joy" is a very old Simon Says Stamp die that I cut from white cardstock three times and adhered together. I then colored the top layer with the light pink Copic marker I used to color the berries. Embossed a white rectangle with the pretty holly swirl embossing folder. I trimmed that panel down a little bit and then added the aqua cardstock strip to the one side. I tried to use a strip of pink cardstock on the card, but neither color I tried worked with the Copic colors I used. So I used sparkly silver glitter cardstock! Really like how it looks. Layered on the colored image and the sentiments that are from an older Simon Says Stamp set that I just love. One more Christmas card to add to my stash!
Well, that's it for me. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
