Joy

Trim white card to 4 1/2 x 5 1/2", place inside the Autumn Breeze embossing folder and run it through your machine. 

Working from the TOP of the embossed card, blend with the Surfboard and Tiffany, fading out the ink as you move down, to create an ombre effect. 

Use the die to cut TWO "JOY" sentiments and tree brooch, from white cardstock. Adhere together to create your 3D embellishment. 

On a scrap piece of white card (big enough to die cut the foliage die-plate from the Perfect Pinecones), smoosh the Surfboard and Tiffany onto your glass mat, add water and smoosh the white card into the ink. 

Once the ink is dry, place the plate onto the inked card and run it through your machine. 

Trim a piece of coordinating paper from the Shabby Chic pad to 4 3/4 x 5 3/4" and a piece of white card to 5 x 6". 

Assemble your card as shown here. 

Adhere the foliage and JOY 3D embellishment to the bottom right of the card.  

To finish, use the Stickles to add a touch of sparkle to the brooch.
