Joy to the World

I love this color combo of red, black and kraft. It's this week's color challenge at Splitcoast and it's a good one. I was going to add a bit of gold and tried embossing this image from Joy to the World (ODBD) in gold and bleaching out/chalking in, but my bleach must be too old cuz it didn't work. Oh well. The Disco Black embossing powder I've used here really adds some pizazz to the card. I decided not to color the image in. Digging through my scraps I found this old red velvet paper and punched the small squares out of those. This card really has dimension. Wish you could see it in real life!
I am still decorating my card insides. I wanted to show you so you could see the lovely font from this terrific Our Daily Bread Designs new Christmas set. Isn't it awesome?

Thank you for visiting me today. Check back tomorrow! I think I'm going to get PUNCHY!
Blessings~
Angel
