Joyously Participating In IBSIC #14...

Hello, everyone!  So it's still June and I've already started on my Christmas cards LOL.

The card I am sharing is for this week's IBS challenge:  

When I saw this week's challenge over at Inspired by Stamping, I was instantly inspired to create a Christmas card.  

It's a little hard to tell, but the wreath was stamped on very vanilla cardstock and then cut out inside and out and popped it up on one layer of dimensionals.  The 'J',  'O', and 'Y' were also stamped on very vanilla, cut out and popped up on two layers of dimensionals.  I am including a closer up angled view to better show this.  It really turned out beautifully.

Here is the sketch for the challenge:


And here is my card.  Hope you joyously enjoy...
