Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Ilina here today with a fun and non traditional Christmas card using the Joy to the World wood block stamp as the focal point, along with the Color Layering Trimmings set to add extra details to frame the sentiment.
To make the card start by stamping Joy to the World onto black card stock using Versamark ink, then emboss it with Detail White embossing powder. Trim the panel to 3 3/4" x 5" making sure that the sentiment is in the center. Using the branch (second layer) from the Color Layering Trimmings set, I created a frame around the sentiment using Versamark ink and embossed with Detail White embossing powder.
Next, stamp the ornament using Pale Tomato, Strawberry and Charcoal ink and use the coordinating Frame Cuts die cut them.
Adhere to panel using foam mounting tape to add dimension. Adhere the panel to a red card base using foam mounting tape or fun foam and add red enamel dots to add more interest and details.
Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you are inspired to do something creative today.

Something different, beautiful, and artistic- I am nominating you for the 2018 ORNAMENT AWARD.
This is such a cool card! I love the colors you used. :)
What a wonderful card. I like non-traditional colors—pink and aqua come to mind now that I’m thinking about it. This is just so pretty. And we do need JOY—-remembering what Christmas is about, and why we have joy at Christmas is so important. It’s not about the gifts, food and parties…Joy to the work, the Lord has come…. :)
Gorgeous Ilina, I love the white branches, the whole colour sceme is great. Thank you for showing.
Awesome card, the white on black with red highlights is great!
