Today Jeanne gave us F4A199 Christmas Carols, so I decided to use sheet music for part of my bg.
And Biggan gave us MIX46 - Merry Mixed Media. I used distress inks on the edge of the ornament as well as on the music sheet dp. The holly & pointsettia is painted in with metallic watercolor paints. IRL you can see the shimmer, but I could not capture it in my upload.
Thanks for taking a closer look, hope you like it

It's so hard to capture shimmer and glimmer paper and rhinestones and all that stuff, isn't it? My card looks so blah compared to what it really looks like! I love your beautiful ornament, Barb! Such a pretty way to display a poinsettia~

Oh, how clever, Barbie! I love the sheet music and the fabulous ornament with the poinsettia! Beautifully created with the mixed media, which I've not really done yet. But I love this!

I like your musical page Barb, and the way you tore the edge. It's also very lovely the way you framed your ornament and edge with the red. Great job!!
