Hi everyone. I'm back with my eighth card using the Immense JOY die from Penny Black. This is going to be the last JOY card for a while. I scheduled this post ahead as we moved yesterday and my computer is unplugged and packed away. :)
This is one of the images from the All the Trimmings stamp set (Penny Black). I stamped the image in black ink, heat embossed in clear, and watercoloured with my Zigs.
I finished the background of the card by using a black card front with in-laid JOY die in real red card stock. I cut out around the image at the bottom so it would drape over the bottom of the "O" and give a bit of added dimension.
Close-up ...
I'm sending this card to Rudolph Days April Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!

Another beautiful design using JOY, Lolly! Thank you for the inspiration! I was thinking of you all day yesterday. I hope the move went smoothly! Take your time unpacking and settling in. Love, Dolly
Another awesome card to add to your JOY collection Loll! I love how you cut around the bottom of the image so it can drape over the "O", and I love how dramatic this card looks with the colored focal point and the red JOY all against the black card base! Lovely, lovely card my friend, and I too hope your move went smoothly and that it doesn't take too long to find things!! Hugs. :0)
I am enjoying these cards. You are coming up with such good ideas. I am loving that deep red with the black on this one xx
Wowie, this is a beauty, Loll! I love how the festive bunch drapes over the "O". You've got one big part of the move behind you and another phase beginning. It's an adventure! Best of luck all along the way!
I'm always happy to see your JOY-ous cards, Loll! LOve that bright red crabapple!
Hoping you'll be back up and running soon!

Such a beautiful card Loll, and the candle with the foliage, cones and berries is a very pretty image, and the contrast of the red inset 'Joy' word die against the black card base is fabulous. Hope your move went well, and sending you my good wishes for life in your new home. x
Gorgeous Loll, I love the foliage spilling over the edge of the O. I hope the move went well xx
A stunning card Loll, that PB Joy die is just fabulous and your play with the black, dark red and white overflowing floral is wonderful..love it. Good luck with the move, hugs Robyn
You've really made the most of that JOY die! Yet another stunning card - it is so lovely with the Christmas greenery flowing out of the "O". And really striking against the black card front.
Wishing you happiness in your new home, and happy Rudolph Day too, a lovely card of joy and colour xxx

I smiled when I saw this, Loll. You have done some imaginative things with that die. Mine is still collecting dust. LOVE the black and red, so different. Good luck with your move. It's quite exhausting and so glad you have the help that you do! Enjoy your new place!
I have enjoyed each and every one of your joy cards, Lolly! I love how the centerpiece designs is flowing out of the O! I hope the move is going smoothly.
Loll, I love that your J-O-Y can't contain all that wonderful centerpiece! The extended portion is a wonderful idea, and works beautifully
I think this is one of my favourites. I love the red letters against the dark background and the extra detail from the cut out of the foliage adds real dimension ..... love it!
Hope the move went well and that the unpacking is going smoothly xx
Absolutely stunning Loll! I hope the move went well! Hugs x
