Joy to the World

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps.  This week we have a beautiful inspiration photo for you:
No photo description available.

And here is the card I created:
 I was inspired by the gold and the stars.  I used some gold metallic guilding paste to stamp the script layer, the star layer and the sentiment panel.  I also used it to create the gold mats under those panels.  I'm still working out of my bits and pieces stash, so the little glittery die cut stars were die cut from two little tiny scraps (I really try not to throw away any bits of specialty papers they can always be used for die cutting little shapes).  All my layers were cut from scraps of white and even the striped panel is made from scraps that I pieced together; love using scraps that way!!


Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this photo.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.

I recognized the Mojo Monday sketch as soon as I saw your card (I'm using it tomorrow). Love all the layers of stamping and the way you matted your panels in matching card stock! Once again you rocked using scraps -- Gorgeous card!

Such a stunning card with all the layers and using the guilding paste, like the little gold stars from your scraps too, and that lovely ribbon!

Very pretty - and love the gilding paste - have never used it,have embossing paste but not gilding. Wish I was as discipline as you were in using the small scraps - I always reach for a full size piece of dp or cs. Very pretty bow and you have another Christmas card to add to your collection.

This is a stunning card, Heather! I love your use of the bits and pieces left over from other creations. I sometimes can't be bothered saving them...I might have to reconsider that after seeing this beauty!
