Finally! I'm back participating in a Papertrey Ink Make It Monday. Seems like one thing or another has kept me from submitting the past couple of weeks.
This week's MIM is super cute!
I LOVE to use the word Joy at Christmas. Sometimes Christmas can be a tough and not such a happy time. But even during hard times, as we look to the meaning behind the traditions, we can experience Joy.
That's why I LOVE, love, love the new Joy die that PTI recently put out. But, I did not get the stamp to go with it. So... I improvised the repeat and lift by die cutting and using the negative space as a stencil. (You all know I have done this before) I repeated and lifted ink pads instead of a stamp.
It gave me a kind of blurry watercolor wash look.
I added the die and then some snowflakes, stars, bubbles, and glitter.
Then with a final sentiment, I was done!
Super fun!
"These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full."
