Joy!!

Definitely a good day, so Joy is the word today.
Some great challenges about and this card which I have been playing with today covers the following:-
365 Cards Day 210 - Try a Technique: Sanding
Chocoholics Friday Forum Challenge - Embossing
Secret Crafter #51 - Animal Antics

Apart from all the dust which made me very itchy I enjoyed this technique, sanding, after all that is what I have my Core'dinations cardstock for.
The one I used today is the Whitewash which has a wash of white over coloured card.
I ran it through my 'Bug' and embossed it with the 'Spots and Dots' folder.
The sketch I used is one of my favourite from Clean & Simple.
The image is a download from Willow Designs, I think, if this is incorrect I will change this. I really wish downloads printed the designer's name onto the sheet, it would help enormously. Pink Petticoat do it and I am thankful.
The other piece of embossed card is from my swapped stash, I really must buy myself the snowflake one I love it.
Joy sticker by Bo-Bunny Press.
Card Candy 'Winter Wishes' were used to embellish.
The base card is a beautiful rich pearly blue Stardream from Joanna Sheen.
The little strip of matte silver card from my bit box.
So there we are another week been and gone, and before we know it, it will be Christmas.
Joy to the world!!
