FTTC194 Silhouette JOY

Good Tuesday morning to you all!  It's time for a new Timeless Tuesday challenge!  Are you ready?

~

The super-talented Maki is our hostess and she's asked us to complete a project using a Silhouette image.  Now, I'll admit I'm still very much a novice when it comes to using my Silhouette, but I CAN open up a file and tell it to cut!!

I chose to use my Peace and Joy stamp set and matching Silhouette cut file for my card today.

I cut my Silhouette image using Flourishes Classic White cardstock and stamped the image in Memento Love Letter ink.  Just look at how delicate that cut is!  I could never have fussy cut it that beautifully!

I also stamped the image again in Pistachio ink and then in Tuxedo black ink.  I used the Pistachio for the leaves/berries and the black for the letters.  I tried to color the letters to resemble wood since I used a piece of wood grain patterned paper.

Here are the Copic collections that I used:

The card base is made from cardstock from the Poppy Color Collection.  The JOY is popped up on 1/8" foam tape.  I tied the kraft jute, red twine and silver metallic string around the card front and added a tiny jingle bell with another piece of the silver string.

The layout was inspired by this week's Retrosketches #36:

I chose to color the Book Dreams image.  LOVE this darling little Indian Princess enjoying her book!  And I loved her so much I wanted to keep the card simple and give her the focus, and a little dimension too!
