Inspiration: Freshly Made Sketch #277 + TCP Tuesday #332 + ColourQ #10
This week's Cat's Pajamas challenge was to use a word die-cut on a card. I had received the "Joy" die-cut as a gift with my latest purchase from them, so it became the starting point of this card. I paired it with the Winter Style stamp set, which hadn't seen ink yet. The Freshly Made sketch was a good one since it included a lot of white space, giving the opportunity to create a background with the image from the samp set.
I used the word die five times and layered the various cuts on top of each other to create a dimensional accent. The die is quite fine, so it took a steady hand to line everything up properly. The Christmas baubles were stamped with Basic Grey Classic ink and watercolored in matching ink colors, then I added a bit of Clear Wink of Stella over them, then a couple of rhinestones.
