Freshly Made Sketches - Joy

Counting down to Christmas here! I keep remembering things I need to do, presents I forgot to wrap, recipe ingredients. I totally understand now why Santa makes a list! When things get busy here, the best way to unwind is with a little crafting.
A new Freshly Made Sketch begins every Wednesday. I'm cutting it close - I made this card over the weekend to play along!
I started by arranging panels for the background as shown on the sketch. I added fuchsia and gold glitter paper under a panel that I inked using the Pretty Pink Posh Christmas Background Stencil. They have so many beautiful stencils available that it's hard o decide which one to use sometimes!
And if stencils are your "thing" you need to discover Pixie Spray. It's made a world of difference for me, holding the stencil firmly in place with a light tack spray adhesive.  I topped the background panels with stamped and die cut letters using the JOY stamp set. If you look close you'll see lots of sweet Christmas images that make up the letters. 
The gold panel adds lots of shine! I added some gold jewels too because a little glimmer around the holidays is always welcome ... heck! I'll take it all year round! 
I hope you find some time to play! And Merry Christmas everyone!
