Card: Another "Joy" Christmas Card!

"Joy" seems to be a theme in my Christmas cards this year!  "Bling It On" is the challenge for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week.  I added real German glass glitter to the "Joy" chipboard alphas and there's some bling on the spacer above the dangling pearl.  In order to get just the right color of ribbon I used white Hug Snug and dyed it with Broken China Distress Ink  then added a little bit of Evergreen Chalkboard  Glimmer Mist because it needed some green.  Granite Glimmer mist was then added to made it dusty.

Card: Mojo Monday 323 - Joy

This Christmas card uses this week's Mojo Monday sketch.

The paper is from the Teresa Collins Noel Collection and the cardstock is DCWV; all were inked with Vintage Photo Distress ink.   I fussy cut the holly from the "Definitions" paper and layered it to add some nice depth and embossed the cardstock with Cuttlebug's Holly Ribbons embossing folder.  The "Joy" stamp is from the BasicGrey Aspen stamp set, the ribbon is Hug Snug, and the gem brad is My Mind's Eye Lush Red.  Though you can't see it in the photo, the entire card was finished up with Tattered Angels Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist.
