Hi everyone. I'm back with my seventh card using the Immense JOY die from Penny Black.
Today's card uses the Poinsettia stamp from Holiday Bouquet (Avery Elle - retired). I love this stamp set and have used it many times in my cards over the years. I stamped in black ink, clear heat embossed and watercoloured using my Zigs.
I finished the background of the card by die-cutting the JOY die three times from green card stock and layering to create dimension, then pieced the "O" with the watercoloured Poinsettias. The image is mounted onto a white background which was dry embossed with Scenic Poinsettias (Spellbinders).
