Joy

This is a 4 1/2"x6 1/4" card. I used red cardstock for the card base, then trimmed some green cardstock 1/8" smaller and the white cardstock 1/8" smaller than the green. I used my Gyspy to layout all the "Joy" words and drew them with my Cri-Kit pens, they are all 1 1/2." I wrapped the green and white cardstock with two pieces of ribbon. I cut a one "joy" in red, then covered it with ruby slipper Stickles and added three white pearls. The bow is actually made of paper. I found a video on a blog and made my own. I also added a drawn "joy" on the inside of the card. It was drawn at 1."



I made this card for the following challenges:



  • 365 Cards: "Day 259" - spotlight technique

  • BBTB2: "Winter Woodland" - joy
