Hi everyone. I'm back with my eighth card using the Immense JOY die from Penny Black. This is going to be the last JOY card for a while. I scheduled this post ahead as we moved yesterday and my computer is unplugged and packed away. :)
This is one of the images from the All the Trimmings stamp set (Penny Black). I stamped the image in black ink, heat embossed in clear, and watercoloured with my Zigs.
I finished the background of the card by using a black card front with in-laid JOY die in real red card stock. I cut out around the image at the bottom so it would drape over the bottom of the "O" and give a bit of added dimension.
Close-up ...
I'm sending this card to Rudolph Days April Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!
