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
