J-O-Y #4

Hi everyone.  I'm back with my fourth card using the Immense JOY die from Penny Black. 

Today's card features patterned paper and a simple, watercoloured winter scene with the sweetest deer (Cozy Winter - Penny Black).   I always like to make a few masculine Christmas cards so I thought the Buffalo Plaid card stock (Carta Bella) would be perfect with this image. :)

I'm sending this card to Peace on Earth Challenge #58.  I LOVE plaid, especially for Christmas cards. :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Paper:   White card stock (Neenah 110 lb.); Black card stock (SU!); Buffalo Plaid card stock (Carta Bella)
Ink:   Black (Memento), Salvaged Patina Distress Ink (Tim Holtz); Zigs
Accessories:   Immense JOY die (Penny Black); watercolour brushes, diluted white acrylic paint for snow
