The SCS Dirty Dozen Christmas Challenge for January is "Joyful". And the Happy Little Stampers January Christmas challenge is "Anything Goes with an Optional Twist of Joy".
I love the word "joy" as a Christmas sentiment. And traditional Christmas colours and images bring me joy.
I made a piece of faux-mother-of-pearl background with a mix of red Distress inks and white shimmer paint.
To go with the shimmer paint, I used white shimmer cs for the cardbase and the centre of the ornament, green shimmer cs for the border, ornament outline, holly leaves, and the word "joy", and a scrap of red for the holly berries.
You have until the end of the month to enter the Happy Little Stampers challenge for a chance to win a gift certificate for their shop. Here's the link:

A beautiful Christmas card, Susan. I like the bright hand-done bg and the beautiful die cut done using the metallic CSs. I admire you for continuing on with your cards for next year.....saves stress come Oct, Nov, Dec! : )
