Hi everyone. I'm back with my seventh card using the Immense JOY die from Penny Black.
Today's card uses the Poinsettia stamp from Holiday Bouquet (Avery Elle - retired). I love this stamp set and have used it many times in my cards over the years. I stamped in black ink, clear heat embossed and watercoloured using my Zigs.
I finished the background of the card by die-cutting the JOY die three times from green card stock and layering to create dimension, then pieced the "O" with the watercoloured Poinsettias. The image is mounted onto a white background which was dry embossed with Scenic Poinsettias (Spellbinders).

Ohhh, this is marvelous, Loll! I love the shade of green you used for the JOY and those poinsettias tucked into the O are so pretty!
I find red Zigs the most difficult to use but you did a fantastic job with it on the poinsettia, Loll.
Love all the cards you've made with the JOY die, Loll - so inspiring! I can't wait to make some with mine! Your poinsettias are beautifully coloured and perfect with the embossed background.
Another pure JOY card and I love this one as much as all the others Loll!! That Avery Elle Poinsettia stamp is one of my favorites too, and you've colored it beautifully! I love how you've fit it right into the "O" too!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Loving all the variations that you are using in this series Loll, and this one is exquisite

You could make every one of your Christmas cards with that die and different stamps and they would all be amazing. Love the deep pink and green together. Stunning xx
You've done fabulous things with this joy die and various stamps. Now here's another. Wow! Love that perfect little poinsettia cluster sitting so prettily in the center, and the embossing in the background. The colors are gorgeously rich together. You are going to be so ready for Christmas!
Another gorgeous scene in the O, Loll - keep 'em coming! All so fab!!
I'm loving this die and all your cards. Those poinsettias look amazing! xx
These poinsettias inside the letter O look great. As if it were a window through which winter flowers look. Beautiful card and another amazing version of this die
