The technique which Nichole refers to as "Repeat & Lift". The technique involved generation stamping (repeat) and then adhering the coordinating die cut on top of it with foam tape (lift). And it works best with a word die that also has a stamp to match the word.
Merry Monday has this Colour challenge....Red, Pink, Light Green, Dark Green and White!
I brought the two together using PTI's new stamp and die: Wonderful Words: JOY. I stamped the JOY with both the red and the pink ink and did the generation stamping with both...moving it slightly up, down, left and right of center. I die cut the JOY and stamped with the darker green and then cut narrow strips of the adhesive to "lift" it!

Now, I don't ask my husband to often what he thinks...but he happened to walk into my room and so I did...he thought it said "jazz"! Really? I asked if he needed his glasses! He thought it was strange the font was changed for the letters...he asked if I could change the 'y'...Now you know why I don't ask his opinion very often!! Ha ha...
We are having another stormy day today in the Pacific Northwest! Lots of rain and wind!
I hope you can bring JOY to someone today!
Heart Hugs,
Colleen

Very pretty Christmas card, Colleen! Love the simplicity of this and how you stamped "Joy" ! Thanks for playing along with us this week over at Merry Mondays! :)
Very pretty. Love the technique you used with the Joy stamp and die.
Beautiful 'Joy'. Love that you got to post for both challenges! Dear Husbands! Very rare to ask mine his opinion on card making. Just doesn't understand why I collect so many stamps. (sheeesh!)
This layout is so pretty. LOVE the shades of green with the red and the multiple layers of colors on each side.
LOL, this card may be jazzy, but it looks like Joy to me! Great use of these colors, Colleen! A really fun technique! Thanks for coming by to share with us at Merry Monday!
