Joy Chrismtas in July

This card was supposed to be a full panel with the joy embossed on it but I dropped my blending tool on a part of it. I didn't want to trash it so I cut the mistake off of it. Card size is 5x7
I heat embossed my image(hero arts) with zing embossing powder in red. I blended barn door, evergreen bough and pine needles distress ink over it. Once dry, I did a technique I saw Kristina Werner do where you take a little water in your hands and add droplets to your inked piece. I matted it to some white card stock. pattern papers are from Webster pages and k &co. Gems are from michaels dollar bin several years ago. TFL :)
