SSS Making Spirits Bright Blog Hop - Christmas Filled with JOY!

Good morning! Super excited to be hopping today with a FABULOUS line-up of crafters celebrating the Simon Says Stamp Making Spirits Bright release. There is tons of fun and inspiration, and PRIZES too! Here is the card I made to share for the hop:

I used two colors of ink to ink up the trees from the new Merry and Bright stamp set in an ombre design - such a fun way to add depth and dimension to a solid image! It also worked out to be a super fun background. I added some of of the hearts from the same set stamped in red. Next, I heat embossed a sentiment from the gorgeous new Stained Glass Greetings in gold on a strip of white cardstock, then matted it with black cardstock with an extra sentiment from the set added underneath, heat embossed in white. I trimmed it off at an angle with my paper trimmer, then matted the card panel with red cardstock on a green cardbase, then mounted the sentiment with foam adhesive.
