Joy Card {May Arts & Splash of Color}


Hi everyone!! Today the May Arts Ribbonistas are swapping with the folks @ Splash of Color and using PEARL PENS with our choice of RIBBON.

The base of my card is a heavy watercolor paper, and the 2nd layer is a piece of 
vintage double dot by BoBunny.

The tree is made of May Arts Eyelet Ribbon with a "string of lights" of Burlap String. I used a Clear Pearl Pen to create snow drifts on my "branches."  I applied the pearl pen thicker on the edges and thinner in the middle of the eyelet lace.


The tree is adorned with thread and UmWowStudio Star Confetti. I finished the card with a JOY stamp from Viva Las VegaStamps!, cheesecloth, staples and I doodled along the edges with a Sakura of America micron pen.
