Joy

Hello everyone!! Today, some of us who participated in Growing in Unity are blog hopping with our favorite Unity stamp sets. I've made a Christmas card for you today:


I started by stamping the girl from the Unity Our Hearts to Yours stamp set with Sugar Cone ink from Brutus Monroe. Then I colored her with Copics using R59, R29, R37 and R35 for red, G99, YG67, YG63 and YG03 for green, E59, E57, E55 and E53 for hair and E11 and E00 for skin. I stamped the poinsettia on her sweater with embossing ink and heat embossed it with gilded embossing powder. I added the snow effect with snow marker. I also heat embossed the 'Joy' on the ornament with the same gilded embossing powder. I die cut this panel in to a circle. I took a piece of lunch bag card stock from Brutus Monroe and stamped the Barn Wall background stamp with Macchiato ink. I punched out some pine leaves using the Clover glitter stock and arranged them in a circle on to the background. I adhered the glitter pine leaves and some negative cuts as well, on to the background. Then I adhered the stamped and colored panel on to it with foam tape. I added a few red pearls to finish off the card.

This stamp is one of my favorites. The coloring is wonderful! I love how you framed her with the wreath. I need to use my punches more often in my cards.

I may need this girl! Love the wreath! It adds so much dimension.

I love EVERYTHING about this card!!! First off that KOM is my favorite...and on my wishlist for sure. And the way you colored her up is amazing. The extra touch of embossing the details really gives her added dimension, but can we talk about the pine bough background? That looks incredible and very realistic! Just the perfect finishing touch to an awesome card! I'm so inspired. TFS.
