Holiday Card 12 - J for Joy

Hello, everybody! Today I'm sharing another holiday card!  Inspiration has come from the alphabet prompts over at Beccy's Place - she is having her sixth annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge.  Day 12 is "J" and I went with Joy.


I used Memory Box Snowflake Joy die, without the snowflake.  Instead I used a poinsettia image from Beccy's Place Poinsettia set.  I fussy-cut two of the same image and popped up a layer on foam tape.  The letters were die-cut from sparkly cardstock, and I added some die-cut greenery from my stash.  The sentiment stamp is from Whimsy Stamps Joyous Holiday, and the woodgrain paper is from Pretty Painted Floors 6x6" paper pack. I finished off the card with a number of red gems.

I would also like to support the following challenges:

  7. Love this one Kitty, the whole this is really appealing. The "wooden" background gives your card a homey, vintage kind of feel. I really like the sparkly letters, and the way you replaced the "O" with the poinsettia flower was a great idea. Love it!
    Cheers,
    Beccy
