FS525 - Christmas Joy



This week's Splitcoaststampers' Featured Stamper is Karen (aka Redbugdriver). I actually chose two inspiration cards from her gallery. Here's the first:



I focused on Karen's:
-starburst
-Joy theme on a slant
-red, green and gold colours

I changed:
-colours
-technique
-shape of the card

I cut the starburst out of a white panel and then partially cut it several times, using different colours of red, pink, gold, green and turquoise glitter cardstock to create the dots. I then inlaid the different colours in a random order.

I used:
-Memory Box Starburst Die
-Essentials By Ellen Holiday Words die
-Essentials by Ellen Scribble Christmas


Here's the inspiration for my second card:



I focused on:
-3 pieces of winter greenery
-Joy sentiment
-red, white and black

I changed:
-orientation
-left out green
-didn't separate the 3 images in separate panels

I used:
-Essentials by Ellen Scribble Christmas
-Essentials by Ellen Holiday Word die

  2. Great, glittery "Joy" card, Ardyth. Those little dots make this really fun. This looks like it was a bit time consuming, but so well worth it! Absolutely love your second card. Those pine boughs in black are so elegant. This looks like a good one for mass production, too. Gorgeous cards. Bev
