Joy

I decided to make another card for the Cards in Envy: For the Birds Challenge using Cards in Envy sketch#10.

I know, I know, very few of us want to even think about Christmas but when you're a crafter you need too! I don't have many bird stamps and the ones I do are Christmas themed. I figured it never hurts to make a Christmas card early. The papers I used are from American Crafts. The stamp is an ittybitty by Unity called Silhouette Song Bird. I embosssed the image using Versamark and white embossing powder. I wasn't happy with my first attempt at embossing so I did it again.  I decided to not let the imperfect one go to waste and cut out the bird and the word "JOY" and popped with foam tape.

I am so looking forward to a 3 day weekend! It's supposed to be oppressively hot so it sounds like it will be good crafting weather for me!

Have a good one!

    Great Christmas card! You're right about not wanting to think about it, but it is probably a good time to get started. Thanks for playing along with us at Cards in Envy.

    Valerie, I'm loving that you combined your bird card with the Cards in Envy Facebook sketch! Great combo and I hope you will post this card on the FB page as well. (Still love the card that has the little girl with the sunflowers over there.) Thank you again for another post to the Cards in Envy challenge! ~ Marilyn
