A Joyful Card

Well, it has been a while since I last posted.  I took a little trip with my son and husband this past week.  It was fun but glad to be home.  I have a card to share today that I'm going to link up to a few challenges.  First up is the Hero Arts Holiday challenge.  This cards falls under the category of " a few of my favourite things".  One of my fav techniques is featured in this card.  It's using embossing powders.  Next is Festive Friday and they're having a colour challenge this time and it's a great one.

Love that colour combo!  Addicted to Stamps and More's challenge is an "anything goes" one.  Also, going to link up to Christmas Cards All Year Round where the challenge is "winter wonderland" which you can have anything like snow or snowflakes etc.  So, here's my card...

So, I used a lovely snowflake stamp by Hero Arts here (F5793 Dotted Snowflake).  First I embossed the snowflake with my white and silver glitter embossing powder (winter wonderland by Stamp n Stuff) on an aqua panel (Bazill Basics, whirlpool).  I used the same powder on the chipboard letters.  I love doing this when the colour or pattern doesn't go with what I'm doing.  :-). I attached the letters to the aqua panel above and below the snowflake to form the word joy.  I matted this in red and attached to a white card base.  I then added a red bow.  Such a pretty colour combo, I may have to make more!

Well, that's all for now.  Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
