Christmas JOY!

This card is for today's SCS Feature Stamper Challenge (FS131)! Congratulations, Joanne!!! It was hard choosing a card. Here is the one I chose. I love the layout and design of Joanne's card as well as the Christmas theme. I kept the general layout and modified according to my larger size card. I change the colors and went with a little nontraditional colors instead.

I am using Flourishes All that Glitters and Poinsettia Boxwood sets. I stamped my background using one of the pine sprigs from the All that Glitters set in versamark and embossed with transparent kaleidoscope embossing powder. I love the subtle multicolored shimmer. I also used the versamark pad directly to the enchanted evening cardstock and embossed with the same embossing powder to get the rich shimmer for my corner and snowflake punch. I stamped the sentiment JOY in versamark and embossed in gold. I softly sponged the edges of the oval panel with ranger old paper and antique linen inks.

I colored using Flourishes Copic Color Collection in in Sky and Tiger Lily. I used Flourishes Classic White cardstock.I finished my card with satin ribbon and Flourishes Finishing Touches gold slide.

It is good to be up and running again!!! Never fun when the computer crashes!!! Fortunately, we were able to do a recovery thing so that helped a lot!!! Wiped out a bunch of stuff, but it is like getting a new computer.

With that said, here is my Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC27)! card a little late. This week is all about hardware. Check out the link to find out how you can play along. I am using Flourishes Sweet Pea and Sweet Violets sets. I colored it with the Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Violet and Evergreen. I am also using some of the Flourishes cardstock in white, which is wonderful for coloring with copics. I finshed my card with a metal slide from the Flourishes Finishing Touches Collection.
