Day 244: Joy to the World Card

When I saw this week's Mojo Monday sketch, I immediately thought that it would be a great sketch to use with pocket scrapbooking cards. 

Now, I'm usually an A2 sized card maker, but to make my White Pines PML card fit the card design perfectly I needed to move up to a 5x7 card. I started with a base of Cashmere cardstock, and added some green shimmer trim and a panel of Cranberry cardstock that I embossed with a chevron embossing folder. Then I hand-stitched around the edge with gold sewing thread.

I added some red flower stickers and detailed those with clear shimmer gel pen and red glitter gel. I topped off the JOY card with a hand tied gold string bow and a gold paper fundamentals bow. It was fun to make a bigger card with a bit more room to stretch out!
