Joy to the World

Evening,

Now that I have worked my way through all of the card photos on my laptop I can start on the cards in my boxes, but where to start?? So I decided that probably the easiest way was to see what challenges there are out there and pick a card for that, even if I don't enter.

So one of the Christmas challenges is looking for something starting with J.

Joy to the World is a stamp designed by Jane Gill for Woodware. I stamped and embossed it onto black card stock,

and then stamped around the edge of the panel using various colours of metallic inks.

Very quick and easy.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs Kimx

Crea\tive Expressions 30 Day Challenge - Day 24 Gilded

Morning Everyone
I hope that you have had a reasonable week and are looking forward to the weekend, even if all the days seem to blur into one another at the moment.
One thing I have noticed about being back at work...……...nail polish only lasts about 3 days lol.
I always paint my nails with glitter polish for Christmas and the New Year, and then don't really bother the rest of the time because they chip too easily when working at the till.
So as I have been at home for best part of 3 months I thought that I would continue with my manicures (performed by me I hasten to add)
At home they seemed to last for at least a fortnight, back to work and they have lasted about 3 days. Oh well I guess it is another way to fill my time during lockdown.

Todays challenge at Creative Expressions 30 Day challenge is Gilded.

I've chosen something slightly different for my take on it. For this card I stamped and embossed Jane's lovely sentiment on to black card stock and then used several diferent sizes of circle die to create a stencil out of acetate.

I then used gold, silver and copper metallic ink to sponge through the stencil to create this lovely Bokeh background.
I used a small snowflake from another of Jane's stamps released at the same time to finish things off.
Not gilding in the true sense of the word, but hopefully good enough for todays challenge.
Have a great weekend, but don't forget to stay home, and stay safe.
Happy Crafting and Hugs
