Be Joyful

This is a tweak of a Swap from Onstage.  All I changed was the Real Read Card base and the Black layer behind the Basic Gray panel.  The Tree from Sheltering Tree is stamped in Stazon Black.  Snow on the Branches is Whisper White craft ink as well as the swooshes of Snow at the base of the tree.

I would advise letting the Whisper White ink dry thoroughly or heat set before you Emboss the Sentiment with the Real Red Glitter Embossing powder.  This was my first go with this new product and the Glitter stuck to the White ink in a few places I'd rather it had not stuck!!  But Glitter has a tendency to go everywhere when you use it......like on my versamark pad.....when I fumbled and tried to catch the ink pad, only to have it land with a corner in the glitter! 

The close up I took was too blurry to post and I am too lazy to go back downstairs and take another photo.  Plus I would disturb my sleeping cat and she is still pretty owly so want to only go down when needed.  Snoopy has figured out how to open the BIG door since the door jamb is now really dry and loose.  I think I have her locked in and here she comes thru the Kitchen cat door  to my surprise.  SO I have the door tied shut with some ribbon!!  Snoopy is SO SMART!!

This card will be my main Christmas card.  I love it!!
