JOY

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

How are you coming on your Christmas cards?


When my sweet friend Michele came to visit, she brought her night and day pine press plates 
and they were the first things I dug into.  I had a new set of ink cubes from 
Pinkfresh Studios and we found that they worked beautifully with the Betterpress system.

This was my absolute favorite of the two plates.  It inks the background and leaves the
pine boughs looking white and snowy.

The Immense Joy die cut was a fun surprise in the mail and I thought they went
together beautifully paired with my favorite Nativity die.

I used a little chunky gold embossing powder on the center of the O and heated 
from the back for a "starry" backdrop and layered the white die cut slightly offset
from a gold die cut.

I'm hoping to find these press plates half price one of these days (wink)!

Who would have thought that we could get immense joy from that Immense Joy? It works with so many images and your nativity is a perfect example, Bonnie. This is such a beautiful card.
