Always be Joyful

 

 
It's my second week as guest designer for Paper Smooches and I'm having so much fun. The October sets are absolutely wonderful and I can't stop playing with them. The baubles on my card were actually made for another design I had planned in my head, but while I was working on the background for that I had my trimmed baubles in a little pile on my desk. When I saw them there I thought they looked cool and fun that way and I knew I wanted to try to recreate that "scene" on a card. This is the result:



 



 
 

The stamps are from this perfect Christmas Holiday set called Merry Motifs:
 
 
Have a great day, hugs, Karin

I used distress ink as coloring media and I'm entering it for Moxie Fab World's coloring media challenge.

    This is just so sweet! Love the little pile of ornaments in all their happy colors. Awesome coloring. Great idea to have rounded corners on the focal panel too. Great card.
