For today's card I have made another using the Immense Joy die (Penny Black). Last year I made a series of cards using this amazing die, and I just had to pull it out again this year. :)
I brayered a piece of Bristol card with distress inks and cut out the "O" from the Joy die. I also die-cut the Deers & Tree scene; then die-cut again for the "O". These were layered together and then inlaid into the "O" opening. I splattered diluted white acrylic paint for falling snow. The completed JOY was placed over top of a snowflake embossed card front (Snowflakes - Cuttlebug). Merry Christmas is stamped on the inside using the closest ink I had to kraft.

Sending this card to a few other challenges besides Rudolph Days ...
Sparkles Christmas Challenge #175 - Include a Tree - the tree is part of the winter scene inside the "O". Hope that qualifies
