4. Use the dot strip die to die cut the side of the 3 ½” x 3 ½” piece of Basic White cardstock.  Save both pieces.
5. Take the dot strip and cut it so there are 3 strips that match the piece of White you cut it from.  See photo above.
6. Using the other piece of White that is solid, cut off the right side to the panel measures 2 1/8”.
7. With Pretty Peacock ink, use a the Stamp Off technique to add dots all over the panel.  See photo above.
8. Stamp the sentiment in the center of the left side of the panel from Step 7.  See photo above.

Joy! Shouldn’t we all be striving for joy? Joy for ourselves. Joy for others. This simple, stunning card made me think of Joy in the Morning, a beautiful worship song by Tauren Wells. Here’s the first verse:

Everything happens for a reason, but you don’t know what you don’t know
And you’ll never have peace if you don’t let go of tomorrow
‘Cause it ain’t even faith till your plan falls apart but you still choose to follow, uh
If it doesn’t make sense right now, it will when it’s over

[Chorus]
There will be joy in the morning
There will be joy in the morning
