Basic Joy

Here are my two cards for Sparkle's Christmas challenge. I didn't have any liquid applique, so there isn't any on my cards. I thought I had some, but wasn't able to find it in my stash of supplies.

I used Basic Grey's Boxer line for my pattern paper. I really liked that it has the Christmas colors, but it wasn't Christmasy paper. If that makes any sense. I also liked the deep blue in the pattern. Different colors than I normally create with. I don't use deep blues often. I embossed both images with embossing powder with added extra diamond dust glitter in it. I like the added bling on the cards from it. I added Silver Bell's Shimmerz to the circles on the blue card. I cut out the word Joy, the stamp is one solid word.

Remember, TAC sets are currently on sale for half off! The sentiment is part of TAC's tag tidbit set.

I realized after I was done, I had just done the tree's sketch a few days earlier! Need to peak at more sketches to break out of the box some! LOL!
