J-O-Y #6

Hi everyone.  I'm back with my sixth card using the Immense JOY die from Penny Black.  I smiled the whole time I was watercolouring this image.  It is so sweet! :)

The stamp is Hopping By (Penny Black).  I used black ink, heat embossed in clear, and watercoloured with my Zigs.

For the background I used kraft card stock dry embossed with a snowflake embossing folder (Cuttlebug).  I used my white pigment ink pad to lightly swipe over top to catch the highlights of the embossed design before adding the JOY die and watercoloured bunny over top.

Close-up ...
I'm sending this card to the Merry Little Christmas Card Challenge #55, where it's Anything Christmas Goes.

Another really pretty look using this die Loll, and I love the cute rabbit with its parcels against the bright red letters, and I think the embossed craft card with the added white ink makes the snowflakes look beautifully icy. x
