A Trio of Joy

 

A Trio of Joy cards with the Greetery's Joy Hot Foil and stamp and die sets.

Playing with the new Glimmer Hot Foil system is just too much fun!

Christmas Joy began with the Fond of Foliage stamp. It's a big red rubber stamp, 

and I selectively inked the stamp with shades of light and dark Oxide inks. Then

sponge inked the panel in red and pink, darker and heavier on the corners.

Joy is hot foiled with copper foil onto PTI's ripe avocado. I've used the Winterberry 

Bouquet set before, and love the steps of first stenciling, then stamping the colors.

The 2 thin stitched frames are Poppystamps, and Christmas is the Greetery's 

Opposites Attract Holiday. A few Pine Wisp branches too.

I just bought a Lightbox, and learning to use it is a new challenge. It's only 12 x 12", and

I wish I had bought one larger. 

Anyway, Hope you enjoyed the first of 3 cards made with the Joy set. 

I'll post the other 2 tomorrow. 

Thanks for the visit! And I hope you're enjoying cooler weather. We had a 

great wet past 2 days. So needed in our dry valley!
