A Little JOY!

This weeks challenge over at Merry Monday is to use a

Christmas word or words and decorate each letter on your card.

I combined it with the sketch challenge over at

Try Stampin' on Tuesday.

Here's the sketch...

...and here's my card.

I used the retired Be of Good Cheer DSP and die cut the letters out of

3 different patterns.  I chose 3 more patterns from the same pack to use

as the background.   The letters are added with dimensionals on to

 crumb cake circles that were cut using the 4th smallest circle from the circles

collection framelits and then embossed with the decorative dots EF. Those

were also added with dimensionals to the DSP layer.

I finished the card using the needlepoint

border EF to add a decorative edge to the bottom of the card.

 I didn't use any stamps on this card. The only ink I used was to sponge

ALL the edges.  I'm really happy with this card - it actually brings me a little

'JOY'

supplies:

card stock: crumb cake

dsp: be of good cheer

ink: early espresso (for sponging)

big shot: decorative dots EF, needlepoint EF,

      circles framelits, bigz alphabet typeset





Happy Stampin'
