One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Make It Monday meets Merry Monday!!

It came together friends...TWO challenges with one card...doesn't happen often for me...I am kind of a simple person...one at a time!!  So I watched the video over Capture the Moment and then I saw the colors challenge at Merry Monday and they came together!!

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! 

And the Inside of the card!

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!
